1. Using in larger amounts, or over a longer time, than intended. For example, purchasing more porn, or viewing porn for increasingly longer periods of time, or with greater frequency.
2. Unsuccessful efforts to cut down. For example, someone knows they stay up too late every night watching porn. They know they need to get to bed earlier and try to set a time limit for watching Internet porn. However, they are unsuccessful and therefore cannot meet their needs for adequate rest.
3. A great deal of time is spent in activities necessary to obtain or use. For example, a husband comes home late every night because he stops at a strip joint and masturbates afterwards.
4. Cravings such that much of the day is spent fantasizing about, and anticipating the next opportunity for sexual activity.
5. Use interferes with the ability to fulfill important responsibilities such as partner, parent, and employee. For example, lying to one’s partner about where they have been; masturbating at work while on company time; coming in late to work because of staying up late to watch porn; losing a job because of inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace.
6. Continued use despite the harm caused to social or personal relationships. For example, frequent arguments with a spouse about failing to come home at a reasonable time, or arguments about excessive pay-per-view charges on television bill due to porn,
7. Important social and recreational activities are given up or reduced. For example, not getting home before children go to bed because of hiring sex trade workers, or giving up regular basketball games with friends so that the time can now be spent at the strip club.
A little Brain information;
Sexual activity, like alcohol, drugs, and gambling, increases levels of dopamine in the brain. Dopamine is the primary neurotransmitter in the Brains own reward system. Dopamine creates pleasurable feelings. However, the brain’s reward system also makes us vulnerable to addiction. People are not addicted to sex. As with all addictions, people become addicted to the brain chemicals released during the substance use or activity (in this case, sex), not the substance or activity itself.
