    I am so glad I don't have to deal with the other men women here are dealing with. Been there done that. I now have a man who is ready to please me. Ladies, maybe you need to move on?

    Unless it's minimal and mild and between couples porn is a problem no one wants to admit. It usually involves secrecy, obsession with masturbation and other sexual problems. If people have good sex lives they don't need porn. It usually goes along with cyber-cheating thru chat sites and heaps more

    My husband has a sex addiction and has finally admitted it. It is a true illness just like any other addiction. It destroys relationships because the addict lives a secret life and other things suffer as well as the addict becomes more intense in there addicton. There is help out there!

    Just one more thing, the addict can have a good sex life with there partner, it's an illness and there is usually an underlying problem usually from there childhood. The addict is constant seeking affection and the high of love and the chase. It has nothing to do with the relationship they are in.

    this is all bull. it is another blame game on men for women to shirk some of their responsibility of them committing totally into a relationship. have they ever really asked a man if they are really really pleasing him or is this just another womens lib thing? respect goes both ways take a look

    There is more. The tense job situation and the burden most men feel to earn the money with more pre4ssure and less "good" jobs and more jobs where everything is controlled mean more stress. The SO may not be supportive and a source of stress too. Not only that but So's "tend to let themselves go", in dress and demeanor. that fun charming person is no 180 degrees different. Gained weight,not fun, not supportive. : the cyber is not making demands and watching and talking fantasy is relaxing with no judgement. We have become "worker bees" with no outlet to decompress after the day(if one has the time). Most jobs are pressured and controlled with every minute planned out. Pressure upon pressure and when we get "home" the are chores and demands that rob decompression until sleep time.

    CYbersex is the least of the demons out there.....the new phone dating services are very addictive! A person can meet and have sex with someone you don't even know their last name or sexual history! It is rampant! My EXBF of 16 years got hooked and exposed me to an STD not to mention HIV! Its appauling! Now I don't even want to have a physical relationship

    If your partner has a SEX ADDICTION, then the solution is simple. Make yourself the object of all thier Sexual Energy. They will still be addicted, but they will be addicted to you... Simple, and kinda the point.

    My wife loves having cybersex with strangers. I thought old people were not supposed to like computers. Helen watches porn everyday on her computer then she climbs up on top of me needing her fix.

    To vahaa - many people feel pressures and stress, but don't all CHOOSE to deal with it by resorting to porn. There are devoted, loyal, faithful hardworkers out there who don't blame their choices on other things. You're making excuses for those who don't care to control their sick obsessions.
