20/f
Okay so I have a boyfriend, we've been together for a while and I love him very deeply. We plan on getting married once I'm finished with college. My problem is, I think I may be addicted to porn. I am so horny every day, and feel the urge to masturbate. This has been going on since I was 13. I go through phases where I won't look at it for months, but ever since this past September, I look at it almost every day. My boyfriend and I have an amazing sex life, and have sex often. But I STILL feel the constant urge to watch porn. I know it can't physically harm me, but is this healthy? Or normal?

Your still young and people have their own level of sexual drive.As long as you can do your daily activities despite of that then it is normal. But if you can't do your usual activities daily because you only think of that then you have a problem and you need to consult a specialist. [ cristina22's advice column | Ask cristina22 A Question ]

If you ever watched this you know there is a girl on their named Samantha and she is obsessed with sex. I have real life girlfriends that are just like her. Doesn't mean their sluts..but they love sex. (Of course with their husband)
It is only normal for you. Everyone is different. Some people think sex is alright and only do it twice a week, others like me and you prefer pretty much 3-4 times a week! LOL.
WittyUsernameHere answered Thursday November 10 2011, 11:51 am: Yeah, it's pretty normal. Consensus among mature and secure relationships is that if it doesn't affect the sex life, have at it. Sometimes you have a fantasy your significant other isn't into, sometimes your sex drive outstrips them by a wide margin, sometimes you just like porn and masturbation. If your boyfriend doesn't have a problem with it you shouldn't either. And if he does it should be because you prefer porn to him. When it's just an addition to a healthy sex life no one should care.

An addiction is a little different to watching porn to help you feel aroused. If it becomes something that interferes with your life, like maybe you're not studying or going to work because you're at home watching porn, then it's a problem. Addiction is a physical or psychological dependance on something - if you feel like you physically need porn every day and cannot go without it, then this may be a problem. But, if you need porn to help you orgasm when masturbating, then I don't think that's a problem. I think it's normal and healthy to need something to arouse you and turn you on when you're masturbating, it can be difficult to do it without any stimuli.
If you think that it's an addiction, seek out help in your local area. Try counselling at your college, or even go to your doctor if you have absolutely no idea where to go.
And I can understand the months not watching it then the sudden need for it. Sometimes you just don't feel horny or feel like you need something to help you get aroused, and sometimes you feel really turned on a lot. It's so normal! So don't worry :) even girls with boyfriends masturbate and watch porn, it's totally fine. [ xXxPuNki-PiXiExXx's advice column | Ask xXxPuNki-PiXiExXx A Question ]
