ok, I dont know what these people are talking about. Let me explain something to you. When you look at porn you feel something don't you. It's a chemical release. Its called dopamine. dopamine is the same chemical released that causes people to get high from drugs. repetitive exposure to this can become addictive. for example. Adrenaline interacts with dopamine and people can get addicted to adrenaline the same way. so here is what I am saying talk to someone you know and can trust about it. the main thing is to get it out in the open. x3watch.com has a free accountability partner program that we use. http://www.settingcaptivesfree.com/course/has a 60 day online course that can help. but it will not work unless you have an acountability partner that can hold you to it. so they say porn isn't bad. let me tell you why I think porn is bad. #1. it builds an unrealistic view of love. society tells us through TV and people we know that sex is the way to be happy. well let me tell you thats BS. sex is the best part of a marriage but it is not the most important thing in a relationship. sex will never hold two people togeather and it will not make you "happy". #2. being able to enjoy the person you are with makes sex "magical" thinking of someone else takes that from you and them. it can ruin that bonding. there is something called sex addicts anonymous. it's full of people like you. "normal people" who have been snagged into this downward spiraling system of porn. DONT LET IT RUIN YOU.

 Stop worrying about this and enjoy it. It is normal for you to want to see images of sex at your age. Stop worrying.

 Please don't worry about this, it is nothing to be ashamed of! Men of all ages like to look at naked women and sex and stuff, it's natural. Many women do too! Don't beat yourself up over this, you will find that, as you get older and start to have sex and grow sexually, this won't be so interesting and won't seem like such an obsession! But until then, just relax and enjoy what the world has to offer to turn you on!

 Looking at pornography is a completly normal process. Its certainly nothing to be ashamed of. You started when you was 16 and you are now 17, you're still going through puberty, you have raging hormones inside you that you can't control. The real question is do you feel ashamed because you dont like the idea of yourself looking at porn or are you influenced by culture or religion, which often frowns upon such things. My honest advice, I wouldn't be concerned about it, unless it starts affecting your personal life or social life, education etc. You should never be ashamed of what you like, its possible that you will grow out of it, I did, but if it really bothers you then there are all kinds of filters you can set up to stop you. Or simply become more social, hang out with friends more, become more involved with your family, basically occupy yourself to take your mind off it. At the end of the day, its nothing to be ashamed of and you shouldn't be embarrased but if it really upsets you then simply find other things to do. Thats the best advice I can give im afraid.
