From the author: About men for whom interest in viewing sexual materials replaces real relationships and other areas of life. Pornophilia refers to mild sexual deviations, predominantly male. A person suffering from it has an irresistible need to view videos and pictures of sexual content, demonstrating a naked female body or its parts. In extreme cases, this completely replaces his intimate life. Pornophilia affects not only relationships, but also other areas of life. A pornophiliac cannot work fully if he has been looking at porn sites all night, his social status suffers, his friendships are lost, since not everyone can share his interests, and there is no time left for communication in connection with these interests. Currently, this disorder has developed very wide distribution, in particular due to the high availability of material of interest to pornophiliacs on the Internet. Every year there are more and more people susceptible to this deviation. Over the past decade, their number has increased approximately tenfold. A pornophiliac is well aware of the fact that his sex life is going somehow wrong, but cannot independently assess the severity of the disorder and the harm it causes. It seems to him completely harmless, causing no inconvenience to anyone. The partner of a pornophiliac can best assess whether this is true. It is significant that in Europe the main consumers of pornographic products are teenagers, for whom it is really difficult or impossible to find a real partner, and in Russia these are often fully grown men. A distinctive feature of teenage addiction to pornography is that it does not last long, about a few months, then interest in it disappears forever. A pornophiliac discovers this hobby much later, usually after 23 years old, the attraction comes over him suddenly and does not leave for a very long time. Of course, most men can show interest in a beautiful female body, but not everyone spends such a large amount of time looking at it , effort and resources (visiting thematic clubs and registering on specialized sites is not cheap for a pornophiliac). What motivates a pornophiliac? Why is he ready to sacrifice full-fledged real relationships for the sake of looking at a virtual image? Why can’t he devote only a certain part of his time to his hobby, but goes to thematic sites at the first opportunity to the detriment of everything else. The answer to these questions lies in the compulsive (obsessive) nature of his attraction. A person is not able to control such an attraction; rather, on the contrary, the attraction begins to control him. At one fine moment, of course, he can throw away all the magazines, turn off the Internet, even get married, rather not for love, but so that someone will come between him and his passion. But one day he will allow himself to glance at the coveted picture out of the corner of his eye or go to his favorite website, not for a day, of course, as before, but for five minutes. And everything will start all over again, with even greater intensity, as compensation for the forced break. But over time, it will return to its previous form. Another distinctive feature of this attraction is the complete absence of the desire to possess, to meet these women in real life, to start affairs with them. The element of treason is completely excluded with this form of deviation. Pornophiliacs usually value their family, if they have one, and do not want to lose it at all. Therefore, pornophilia refers to virtual attempts to resolve long-standing childhood complexes that do not include active actions in everyday life. Solving this problem on your own is extremely difficult, since the origins of the problem that formed such an excessive interest in the female body or its individual parts date back to a very early age. Although some people succeed. However, working with a qualified specialist will allow you to come to a solution in a much more efficient manner.
