7 Signs You're Watching Too Much Porn

• You're experiencing psychological and emotional distress because of your porn consumption, whether because it conflicts with your value system or the consequences of its use ultimately have you feeling anger, shame, loneliness, depression, irritability, and unrest.
• You're engaging in risky behaviors, like unprotected sex or engaging in illegal activities, e.g., hiring prostitutes.
• You're seeking out porn that's harmful, inappropriate, and disturbing, like that involving children, violence and animals.
• You're neglecting life's day-to-day demands, like work.
• You're having trouble calming down and sleeping, with your moods and interests vastly different, thanks to porn.
• You're unable to maintain a healthy relationship because you're so into porn.
• The use of porn is causing problems in your relationship, e.g., your partner equates porn use with having an affair.

In assessing the situation, keep in mind that you can't put too much weight on any one factor. The cause for a sexual disorder, for example, can be due to a host of factors that have nothing to do with your porn use. So, you need to look at the bigger picture, including the label of "sex pervert" that society often puts on porn enthusiasts. How To Get Him To Use Protection
