Something interesting that I have recently come across is the link between ADHD and masturbation and pornography addiction. People with ADHD are constantly looking for stimulation, and pornography gives that to them. People with ADHD also struggle with compulsive thoughts and struggle to get them out of their heads. I have found that someone who thinks they have a terrible porn addiction may just have ADHD and have trouble controlling compulsive behavior and thoughts. I'm sure that I have ADHD, because I exhibit all symptoms and qualities associated with it, but have never been formally diagnosed. I used to constantly think about masturbation and porn while daydreaming in class, and could not seem to remove the thoughts no matter how hard I tried. This would explain why I cannot seem to make it past 7 days without masturbating. So, for those who think they have an extreme porn addiction, it may actually just be compulsive thoughts and patterns that are associated with ADHD.
I have the same problem, I am sure I have both ADHD and Hypersexuality. There is no time when I don't think about Porn and Masturbation, but the question is what should I do?
Because of the internet, far more people self-diagnose now than in the past. That does not mean you do not have ADHD. I think your first step is to get assessed and, maybe, diagnosed. Hypersexuality is also a clinical condition. Therefore, you would also need to see a psychiatrist (when you are at least 18) for this diagnosis. Yes, it may be. But it is not unusual that as a horny 16 year old you think about sex all the time. Tbh, it would be unusual if you didn't! No. The reason for this is that 7 days after you cum, your body testosterone levels spike. When you are in the habit of jerking off to porn and you are even more horny than usual - that is the reason day 7 seems like an impossible hurdle.
I have adhd and very high testosterone porn makes me hypersexual. I can't get past 5 days but I'm working on it.... I wouldn't go as far to say everyone with porn addiction has adhd .... remember everyone is on a spectrum of traits everyone has a degree of compulsive and impulsive behaviours and thought patterns .... males are especially susceptible to have compulsions around porn because it triggers our biology .. there is actually studies on adhd and masturbation and hypersexuality and compulsive sexual behaviour because of the whole dopamine thing .... but just look at members of society who do not have adhd everyone is pretty damn sexual and compulsive ... were all on a spectrum..... if you do have adhd it's definitely going to be more difficult to quit
On the other hand, a person with ADHD could use their ability to "hyperfocus" to focus on better stuff instead.. I probably have ADHD. ADHD may make you more vulnerable to PMO addiction. However, ADHD people can be good at coming up with creative solutions to problems. Anyway, good luck!
