Hi
I'm new here. I am a 33 year old male living in Windhoek,Namibia(Africa) I am a christian(Lutheran)

I was wondering whether it's possable that porn addiction or the addiction to sex in general may has it's origan from being sexually molested as a child?

It's possible that something could have got in by being sexually molested as a child, but one still needs to take the responsibility morally whether one watches porn or not. Porn can be addictive in itself but things that get sexualised in childhood could make it worse.

Yeah,i agree that one should take full responsability when it comes to watching porn and masturbation.

Thanks for the reply,Raymond. You seem like the expert on here. Keep it up.

God bless

HI Sweet...sure it can and not just sexual abuse either. Any kind of childhood abuse will cause sexual dysfunctions, overuse of porn and a need for multiple partners among other things.

There are many ways this happens. An abused child is usually anxious and under stress although he or she may not really understand why. All they want to do is try to find a way to make themselves feel better. Masturbation is one way to do this, so is porn. But also there is alchohol, drugs, hyperactive sex and often these things are done in combination. All these things raise serotonin and dopamine in the brain and make the depressed, anxious or stressed person feel "normal" or better than normal.

Compulsive masturbation, porn use or risky multiple partner sex, as well as the causes mentioned above, can all be helped by medication, specificaly SSRI antidepressent meds which take care of the anxiety, stress and depression and quiet to compulsion to engage in these acts.
