How "addicted" do you have to be? Cause if my in-box is any indication, I'm in a lot of trouble. How do these people know how much I like porn? Is it addiction if the porn comes to you, so you don't have to look for the porn?
What's the difference between TV addiction and porn addiction? Is watching four hours of TV a day ok, and an hour of porn not ok cause some guy a millenia ago said it's bad?
I need a self-help test STAT!

Do you have these signs? You may need help.

1. You’ve become anti-social.

I've always been anti-social, who are you do judge, get off my back already.
2. You’re lying to your partner.

Are we talking little white lies? Or "somebody stole the car" (that somebody being the repo man) lies? Cause I think they're the same thing. What she doesn't know won't hurt her. Yes officer, thank you for filing the report...
3. Your partner is no longer attractive.

For me this statement is not true, however, I think in many relationships this happens porn or no porn. Guys sit around drink beer with the guys bitching about how their skinny little girlfriend became the fat wife, while they themselves are sporting quite the spare tire. This is reason number 1,368,980 on my list of reasons not to get married. Number one by the way is "'Never let her go to bed angry' -- you are very vulnerable in your sleep."
4. Your sex life with your partner is suffering.

No, but the lack of sleep is at an all time high.
5. Your concept of “real intimacy” has become warped.

One man's "warped" is another man's "prime wood", thank you.
6. The habit is causing you distress.

Sorry, you said "undressed", I didn't catch the rest


7. You are engaging in risky behaviors.

I engage in risky behaviors on a daily basis and plan to do so until I reach an age where taking a shower is risky behavior, then I plan to do more risky behavior after that, eating sausage and gravy on biscuits with a side of lard on bread.

I'm guessing they mean that I'm cruising water street after dark? No, water street is too far away and if I had time to do that, I'd rather be sleeping. If I had the money to do that, I'd have to put it in the gas tank to drive to water street. (For anyone who doesn't know, I live about 30 miles from Water Street, give or take).

Yes, you're right, I do need help. Not for a porn addiction though. I'm more of a wanna-be adrenaline junkie. I'm not quite crazy enough to jump off a bridge connected by a string, but pretty close. I prefer to do the things that scare the bejeebers out of me, but if I die, I have no one to blame but me. Unlike bungee jumping, where I have to rely on the guy who measures the cord and ties the knot. People who rely on other people for the safety of their thrills are just crazy.

It seems that everyone is addicted to something. Is addiction to porn worse than addiction to illegal drugs or TV or alcohol or religion or work or money or your gas-guzzling SUV (to name a few)?
