my fiance is addicted to online porn.He thinks he can quit on his own.I have read that its hard to do.Please give me all the information possible on this topic.
 
It's like any other addiction. Some people can quit cold turkey (like smoking) and some need a little help, therapy, etc.

My advice to you is DO NOT marry this man until you are POSITIVE that he has completely quit. It will destroy your marriage and you haven't even gone down the aisle yet.
 
I'm wondering what is he searching for? Sometimes a woman should ask him whats this all about. If he can honestly explain what the attraction is, what he is getting out of it, and you can figure out if what he is getting is something you cannot give him, then let him keep his fantasy women and you find another guy. Addictions are what they are. Everyone does not want to stop, others tell them they should. An addiction is so strong though it seems as it its the persons main key in life. What they live for, breath for etc... Breaking or stopping is very hard. And when doing so the question is what would they replace those long hours of sexual addiction with? Do he have any other hobbies or interests to put in its place. I don't think he can stop immediately without having any other outlet to turn to.

Sexual addiction is hard to stop because. Advertisements often include sexual hints and enticements. Cheerleaders, Advertisements, even Bra and Panty advertisements in the sunday papers. Women gracing the pages of magazines in the supermarkets and more. American has become a main artery of sexual indulgences, temptations, enticments, seductions, and such. From the Music, Movie and Fashion industry, all of which work hand in hand with each other. Its not going to be easy to stop.
 
"All the information possible" would be this:

"Addiction" has come to be a label for anything people don't WANT to stop - especially those so LAME that they paint themselves victim rather than take ANY responsibility for their behavior.

He either looks at porn or he doesn't. It takes his hands to turn on the computer; click the mouse; type the URL. It takes his eyes to look at the stuff.

This is indeed a character issue, but not in the way you think.

Do you *really* want to marry someone who is so lame that he can't man-up enough to just say he *wants* to look at it and nobody is going to tell him to stop?

Because, if he's that lame about such a stupid thing, what else will he be a total and insufferable weenie about?

If he's that much of a dishrag, dump him and save yourself a couple of years and maybe a baby or two before you dump him anyway.

How can you marry someone you don't respect?

And, how could anyone respect such a guy?
 
You know, I read today that 60% of men view porn! This included magazines, internet, movies, etc. I was quite suprised by this. A VERY small percentage view it on a regular basis.

This article also said that it can EASILY become an addiction as hard to kick as any other addiction because all addictions work the same part of the brain.

Is there anyway you can lock your internet so he is unable to use it? Is there anyway you can live without the internet? I do not know what advice to give you. I just wanted to share what I have read. Good luck.
 
Their are so many ways to reply to this..First thing that comes to mind is his age and yours....even the late 20's people can still be exploring sex....the question of how often he looks at it and what he does with it and how it effects your relationship are the tip of the iceberg....it could take him down a path of sexual addiction or could be a phase... the net gives the option to view so many different women naked or having sex that some people view it like a gambling junkie views the odds of the next win, the next deal , card, spin, or pull might be the payoff...and they keep going....in this case the next girl might be even hotter than the last one...and the libido soars....he could be a collector like so many others and keep archives of his favorite picks just like someone collecting stamps... which could amount to nothing...or he may just be like most men who would look at most any woman that was naked just because she was...he's most likely enamored with all the variety and curious...however if you two are getting married and you strongly want him to give up the porn and he doesnt...well...that should tell you something about your future with him and may not be a good idea to settle down with him....
