Hi everyone, Thinking back, I’ve always been a borderline porn addict, but a few years ago I fell into a deep, dark, endless hole of “interactive” porn. I simply cannot stop “swapping” pornographic gifs/pictures/videos with people online, sexting with people anonymously, engaging in erotic roleplay, or some combination of the above. Is there a specific term for this type of addiction? Should it even be classified as a porn addiction? Is there anyone who shares this addiction in some way? Pretty desperate for any kinds insights, advice or support. Thanks
There is no specific word that covers this (to my knowledge). Others that have talked about this type of addiction say that they send pictures of their dick to the other person(s). It is something to be cautious about because of the chance it can be used to blackmail you. It is best not to show your face. Are you okay with males and females interacting with you? You are in the right place to overcome this porn addiction. Have you made any efforts to stop masturbating and using porn before now?
I'd call it just porn addiction. Some might call it a sex and love addiction becuase it's so focused on the interaction and creating relationships.
I “swap” porn/roleplay only with people who say they’re female, but most of the time I have no real way of knowing what their sex is, or really anything about them. And I’m very aware of the dangers of blackmail and overall privacy... it haunts me to know that everything I’ve written (and I’ve written some obscene stuff) and all the weird porn I’ve shared and all the pictures of myself could one day come into light. But it never really stops me because my addiction is so deeply entrenched. I have no control. As far as stopping masturbating to porn, I’ve actually never considered that. I’ve tried to stop interacting with people online, but maybe I should stop masturbating to all online content of any kind in order stop this behavior “at the source.” Anyways, thanks so much for the reply
I recommend you stop all masturbation and all porn, even arousing clothed images. This detox is crucial to allow your brain to heal. After many months (it varies from person to person), your brain will reboot to "factory settings". Make 2021 the year you changed your life around. Slavery to porn and masturbation addiction is awful and exacerbates your loneliness. Take a look at this video. This is what gave me the impetus to change...

Just watched the video and all I can say is that I'm really impressed by what the guy said because I relate to everything..You never notice you are addicted until you get ED ...Am more focused and Motivated to my recovery too
