First, after using Internet porn throughout my adolescence, I quit.
Then, I learned about and ultimately identified with porn addiction and came out about it to my friends, family and to my significant other. “But you’re not thinking about porn when we’re having sex, right? I mean, you are enjoying yourself. Aren’t you?” Talking to her and others about my porn habits has been complicated, but it was necessary. I wanted to knock out the foundations of porn’s monopoly over my arousal.
