How does a porn or sex addict get better? What is the driving force? I have heard various people talk about fear. I have a friend who's wife told him that if he ever looked at porn again, she would divorce him. This may well bring adequate fear...or did it? Well, he is still married and has slipped on occasion. What about the church leader who uses fear with someone who confesses? Is this curative to the addict? For years I often thought this fear of man and even of God might "cure" me from my addiction. I was wrong. Fear only brought temporary success followed by relapse.

Pornography, which is especially the problem of men, is the second main factor in the life of a sex addict. This can mean porn magazines, films or material on the Internet that is used to seek for satisfaction. For example on the Internet general headwords concerning this issue are … By them people seek for satisfaction.
One problem with pornography is that it does not bring long-lasting satisfaction to us. These magazines or films kind of promise that you will find the erotic picture you have always been looking and longing for, but the satisfaction does not last for long. As time goes by, many may experience the same as alcoholics and drug addicts: they need more and more powerful stimulus to experience the same stimulation as before, because the amount of pleasure diminishes.

POWERFUL post!! Thanks for touching on such a core part of the problem with porn addiction!
Fear has NEVER worked for me. I've been threatened with several relationships ending and it only left a bitter taste in my mouth. I understand why they did it. They were protecting thier own happiness. I don't blame them.
However, when I've had someone lovingly say, you can do it and help me to succeed THAT'S where the power lies, like you said, in loving yourself.
Thanks Again!
