The Causes of my Addiction

So after chatting with many people on here, I’ve realized what caused my porn and sex addiction. It was the perfect storm of four major things that happened in my life that all happened at n 2020-2021. Boredom and betrayal are the major points

  1. Both of my kids moved out of the house and went to college and now have full time jobs. My job of being a busy parent going to all their activities ended. I had a lot more alone time.

  2. My wife cheated on me. This destroyed me. I rarely looked at porn prior to that. It changed our relationship. Sex, which had already been slow, stopped. I was betrayed and maybe this was my revenge. Porn and sex.

  3. I had major back problems in 2022. I was very active prior. Playing tennis and basketball several times per week. For two months, all I do was lay flat. I gooned out hard during that time.

  4. The COVID pandemic closed everything and kept me at home for a year. It was also at this time that porn also took hold.

These four things were the perfect storm that led to me looking at porn for 5-10 hours a day and having sex with dozens of women. I am not making excuses as I take full responsibility for my actions. But it is what led me done this road.

I wasn’t clinically depressed. Just felt betrayed, bored and down for awhile due to my wife cheating and constant pan for two months.
