What is the classic pattern of addiction?

WHAT IS THE CLASSIC PATTERN OF ADDICTION?

The vicious circle or spiral addictive schematically follows the four phases of any addiction. However, according to the researchers, the phases are described in more or less close.

Phase 1: excitement

The (future) depending feels attracted to pornography, for reasons mentioned above. He begins to conceptualize fantasies (sexual descriptions, exciting scenarios of expected focus on sexual partners, etc.) that will seek to find in pornography. Or, if he has no prior fantastical universe, it moves into position to make his own, one that will impose pornography. In both cases, a link is created between the fantasy world of the addict, and the one presented by pornography.

Phase 2: the consumption

The addict goes to porn sites to satisfy his sexual fantasies. Over time, his research always lead further, more hard, more pictures, more violence.

Consumption is accompanied in most cases masturbation, resulting from sexual arousal caused by pornography. Some addicts come as such to masturbate several times a day compulsively, that is a lot more automation and necessity than jamboree.

Phase 3: disgust

Once the initial excitement down, the consumer often feels a form of disgust, vis-à-vis ashamed of himself. In fact, he wants to feel excited by the vision of abused women, degraded. He also wants to not feel strong enough to fight against his instincts. The addict then comprises its consumption is compulsive.

Phase 4: the addictive return

When the excitement it deserves, the addict feels the need to get excited again. It thus falls in phase 1, despite his disgust into phase 3.
In the long run, it also has problems controlling his consumption time: the “just 10 minutes” become twenty minutes, then three quarters of an hour, etc. Others will consume pornographic material on their workplace or school (5)

The awareness of the severity of the addiction comes in. Depending on circumstances, the pornodépendant internalize his problem, shame or impotence. Others, and they are right, try to talk or to seek information.

Phase 5 (optional phase): the passage to the act

In some cases, a fifth stage can be added, that of the “transition to the act.”

Addicts are often overwhelmed by their own sexual arousal.
In a number of cases, this will lead to acting out in the real world. These passages to the act are as much effusion desperate attempts of instinctual thirst.
The acting out can take different forms:
– Research adulterous relationships (fantasy of parallel relationship)
– Search multiple sexual partners (the idea of a quest for endless fantasies), to the detriment of any stable emotional construction.
– A passage to the crime: the number of rapists and pedophiles acknowledge having used pornographic material before moving on to the act (10) and have wanted to do “like in the movies.”
Also, it is important to remember that the use of liveshows services or cam X, is comparable to a passage to the act: the dependent establish a real connection with someone, who is going to strip for him, according to the orders he will personally give him. The two “partners” masturbate their separate ways; but they each recognize the presence of the other, and have their excitation or their interest in this presence.

Is pornography really a drug?

IS PORNOGRAPHY REALLY A DRUG?

Of course! In excessive doses, pornography provokes the addict addiction similar to that caused by other drugs.

The amateur pornography search foremost a strong feeling, a kind of adrenaline rush. Gold, adrenaline in the brain called dopamine. Dopamine is a molecule secreted by the hypothalamus, which causes the feeling of well-being. It is also useful to remember that as sexual images have, in essence, an extraordinary exciting potential. They are therefore particularly well suited to secrete a strong dose of dopamine.

We can come to be quickly depending on the chemical response, and look well to constantly renew his pleasure. The addict is more addicted to its own hormones that at the drug itself. It is the same for sexual arousal. Man stimulated regularly by explicit representations can indeed develop a dependency to its “shoots” testosterone. And look, consequently, to reproduce as much as possible the conditions in which he felt them.

But overuse is addictive to this adrenaline. The addict is then led to overexposure, in order to continue to regain the excitement of the early days. It will therefore “increase” doses, or “improve” the product, which, for pornography, resulting in the search for sexual representations ever more extreme and violent.

The consumer then enters a vicious circle because he feels the need to consume pornography, it consumes; because he consumes, he feels the need. And this, pornocrates have perfectly understood long! Frustration is for them the guarantee consumers acquired their business.

I’ll add that even making the particularly dangerous pornography, is that no one expects it generates dependency. We all know the harm caused by smoking or excessive alcohol consumption. But the prevention message about the dangers of pornography is itself almost nonexistent. There are no associations for the pornodépendants (the issue is present, but at the margin, the DASA meetings – Dependents Anonymous emotional and sexual), no information campaigns to the public. And for good reason; in our society, pornography has a playful dimension, coupled with a certain idea of freedom. Try this: say around you, from people that do not know you intimately, you are against pornography. You probably essuyerez some skepticism, will be cataloged reactionary, perhaps even suspect is it that your sex life is not satisfactory. While everyone will abound in your sense if you speak from the dead by comas ethyl, or risk désociabilisation caused by excessive cannabis use. Very difficult in these circumstances to issue a prevention message about the dangers of pornography.

One can certainly say that 100 addicts pornography, there are many 99 who have not seen it happen addiction. These have overharvest more by lack of information, as by deliberate exceed the red line. Those are the victims of permissiveness of our societies.
However, the same logic, “forewarned is forearmed!” Depending having become aware of the evil that caused him pornography is the master of his salvation, and therefore responsible for his eventual relapse. It does not feel guilty, but to know bouncing on his own mistakes to advance. Flogging is unhealthy, but criticism is never!

Eroticism and Pornography

EROTICISM AND PORNOGRAPHY

Sexual performances have always existed in all societies at all times. Even today, they nourish the sexual imagination. What are the distinctions between eroticism and pornography? These differences are objective?While the distinction between eroticism and pornography seems obvious, these two concepts are they two sides of the same sexual fantasy?Erotic pornography

Eroticism is everything that humans have invented to transform the seasonal reproductive coitus animals an infinitely richer and more varied activity, as well as gastronomy replaced the very limited food monkeys in a variety of dishes to formulations extremely variety, or human speech and singing are incommensurable wealth with a few screams chimpanzees. The animal would instinct, man would live eroticism.

Eroticism Pornography is the staging or the account of sex. A text, a movie, an image,a representation would be erotic if they play on the symbolism of situations and are aimed primarily sexual arousal; they would pornographic when they seek sexual pleasure, by exposure in the first degree of sexuality. The absence of symbolisation, sexuality for sex, found in pornography, make it an object of repulsion for many, in whom modesty is inseparable from sexuality. But as modesty is quite variable, it can not be a criterion between pornographic that the hurt and erotic who comply.

Tales for adults

The stories of sexual activities, erotic or pornographic, have always existed in all societies at all times. Today, they have the same essential role to feed the imagination and allow escape from reality so limited. In reality, everyone must come to seduce:make contact, engage, persuade, reach an agreement at constant risk of being rejected, even a little humiliated. The relationship obtained, it will show her body,create desire, to offer, to enjoy; for a man to have an exciting sex, a good erection,hold long enough.

Pornographic story comes at like a fairy tale for adults, and provides an escape in an ideal world, very reassuring, allowing everyone to fantasise detached from reality: manis desired when it comes, women think to undress in front of him and undress him, they always rush to his penis erect without failure, they take an infinite time in them, enjoy them to lose consciousness, and this is seen and heard! A woman who, in reality, has questions about the reactions that arouse her breasts and belly, excitement it arouse in the other, the effectiveness of his touch, his ability to enjoy, this woman s ‘identify the character of the film is bandaged men as soon as it appears, does not prevent them to get their hands on gender, being penetrated, to vary the positions, playing with another woman to get her fun in many ways, to surrender shameless enjoyment.

We lack pornographers talent for us to invent even more rich and varied sexual stories and detach ourselves more animality.

Fetishism today

FETISHISM TODAY

Often associated with high heels and other corsets, fetishism is also experiencing significant changes. Internet and rampant consumerism have changed the concept of sexual fetishism. The point with Emilie Notéris, which explores the new contours in a meaningful test.

Fetishism, for most of us is often linked to a material, such as leather or latex … It can also be on certain body parts, such as breasts, buttocks and feet … , of course. It is surrounded by a sexual nature when that “worship” is accompanied by sexual arousal. Our time causes profound changes, including in this area.

You said fetishism?

Long before he fixed on our feet, or the laces of our corsets, fetishism has had many travels.

fetish-Born today in 1756 in the writings of Charles de Brosses, it is defined by its religious character. It erects against people who engage in worship of the gods “fetish” and place them idolatrous objects. Attributed primarily to African ethnic groups, fetishism was extended to non-Western populations.

This concept then takes an economic revolution under the leadership of Karl Marx that alludes to the character “fetish” of the goods.

As for its sexual connotations, it belongs to Freud that the fetish is an improper substitute for sex object. According to him, the fetish supplants the goal, that is to say, the enjoyment!

The fetishization of women

The fetishization of women is obvious, “it is the subject of a transaction whose ultimate objective would be its commodification” analysis Emilie Notéris during his extensive investigation that explores many benefits. Fetishization heavily exploited in the literature. It may be noted, for example, courtly literature which lists the “emblems of the body” feminine, become a genre in itself. In photography, film and illustration, this movement is widely developed.

We will retain more specifically, because it is probably the most common, fetishism of the foot. According to Freud, it would be the first thing a child would see before seeking to meet the genitals of his mother. But in reality, fetishism applies to all parts of the body, non-erogenous, such as hair and derivatives, such as pieces of lingerie, the most famous is the corset, or shoes and much more stilettos. A fetish out of the ghetto of perversion and high today in true art of glamor, especially Dina Von Teese.

Internet and dildos change the concept of fetishism

The Internet revolution has also revolutionized the concept of fetishism. “There has to be a reversal, Internet dematerialized the notion of fetishism” said Emilie Notéris. The report has become more complex, with dematerialization.

Before fetishism was on an object or body part; Now it is self fetish through avatars, which become the support fantasies … and circulating virtually. Again this is not the enjoyment that is sought, but a “self objetisation” virtual version. This is very new! The arts took hold of this mutation, and the women themselves more readily a fetish on a virtual mode.

Pub and fetishization

“Advertising plays more on fetish codes” says Amélie Notéris. Namely: the pub appeals to notions of desire, and diverts, seeking the springs of sexuality, where it is not necessary. A car, a razor, surimi are providers of orgasm. Transvestites to not be discovered, specific codes are built to a market system. “Sexual life has become a market value on exploited in advertising, marketing and media, changing relationships between men, in favor of objects …”. As such, sexual fetishism is in line with a “commodification” of human relationships, with the risk of exhaustion of fantasy …

A certain danger that invite us to position ourselves resilient to the consumer society. Perhaps recreating an aura around objects of his desire, and reconnecting with the codes of neo-fetish invented!
