    Hey,

    You guys think it's possible to be addicted to 1, 2 or all 3 of porn, masturbation and orgasm. I think some people can be addicted to 1 or 2. Like people who are mainly addicted to porn will constantly watch it even though they don't need to masturbate whereas people who are addicted to PM will edge to porn and people who are addicted to PMO will fap to porn to orgasm and may prefer it over sex. I feel like I'm addicted to P and O because in my past attempts to quit I've had cravings to watch porn or search for bikini pics and that will lead to me needing a orgasm but I prefer having sex over orgasm and mainly feel like I need to orgasm rather than fap. I don't really enjoy the process of fapping for too long cause I wanna reach climax but I like watching multiple porn movies.

    I think it's possible to be addicted to all three -- sex addiction comes in many forms. In fact, I'm not so sure that masturbation and orgasm are terribly different. There's definitely a major surge of endorphins upon orgasm, but masturbation rituals like edging seem to have a similar effect on the body. Though I do think that porn is likely addictive in itself, I think the big problem with porn is it allows a person's potential addiction to sexual gratification to spiral out of control. Let me describe my own experiences a little.

    As my addiction developed, I found that the time I took to reach orgasm got longer and longer. At times, I'd wait forever before I actually came, riding the wave of that one orgasm for hours on end. Prior to discovering porn, however, I used to just cut to the chase; shoot my wad and be done with it. This leads me to believe that there's some kind of addictive mechanism at work in the process of edging that has been able to flourish through our modern pornography viewing habits. What porn provides is a constant stream of novelty, allowing us to maintain our sense of arousal far longer than we typically could in the 'real world'. It overrides our sense of boredom that at one time would have incentivized us to finish the deed and get on with our day. In this way it provides us with the perfect conditions to indulge ourselves sexually again and again until, like any repeated behaviour, we start to grow dependent on it. As we grow more desensitised to the neurochemicals released via PMO we feel compelled to watch and edge more and more. Least that's how it is in my case.

    To answer your question, I think that the three are all intrinsically linked to one another in that excessive pornography viewing allows us to become addicted to the neurochemicals released via MO.

    Sound like me with orgasms getting longer. I watched porn since before I could even ejaculate and my first ejaculation was to porn and I grew up masturbation for atleast 40-60 mins at a time and I thought this length was normal and when I lost my virginity, I was with the girl for 2 years and slept with her a month into the relationship and she said I could last ages in bed. Luckily I was with a girl who enjoyed it but I would imagine in a long term marriage it would be too much for her.

    Masturbation and porn are really bad. Orgasm is something normal and natural it depends on your lifestyle, region, religion. Orgasm without p and M is wonderful because you feel free and you don't have to creep out of bad after sex to go see porn. However you have to free yourself from P and M because there is lot of guys that are married here and still masturbate which is really bad bad.
