Porn addiction linked only to drug use

I had my porn addiction before I ever started smoking weed and smoked for years without really feeling like the two were linked. Well my addiction really ramped up several years ago and I feel at that time that my weed use and porn use became linked. I would use porn whether I was high or not but when I had weed and was home alone it became a kind of ritual almost. I would lock the doors, close the curtains and start the videos while I rolled up my stuff. I would then spend a couple of hours edging while smoking before climax. It got to be that when I tried to quit watching porn and engaging in PMO that I couldn't abstain from porn if I was smoking. The orgasms were much more intense while high and because of the edging than when I wasn't smoking. I can't smoke weed and not watch porn now, it's a massive trigger for me. I also quit smoking because of work but this is the first real streak I've tried after quitting smoking as well and it's going better so far. I know my situation isn't quite like yours but I guess what I'm getting at is that you are wiring your brain to crave porn when you use coke. I believe that coke causes a 300% increase in dopamine release and when you couple that with porn use you are carving some seriously deep pathways and creating strong connections in your brain. Using porn while high only heightens the sensation and the better the pleasure the more desirable it becomes. I'm not trying to tell you what you should or shouldn't do, just that continuously combining those two activities will make it very difficult to quit either one or both of them. Good luck, I hope you find a solution that works for you.

 

Brilliant!
