That is not what I meant. I am not against porn. If it is good for you then that is fine. It is not good for me and just because you may not have a problem with something doesn't mean other people do not. I have no problem drinking a beer but I understand that some people do have a problem drinking.

> I remember reading that addicts don't enjoy their addiction anymore; they do it because they have to keep doing it.

Yes, I can relate to this. At the beginning it may not have been an addiction but it did morph into one over several years.

Ah...

> I am addicted to porn. ... I would look about once per week...

Might as well have said:

> I am addicted to heroin. ... I would shoot up about once per week...

I guess the point is simply that you did something that harmed your life, but you couldn't stop, eh?

It's strange that the word "addict" conjured up so many images of drugs and alcohol that I unconsciously threw the proper definition of the term right out the window.
