Insanity is....

"Insanity is doing the same thing over & over again expecting a different result".

I tore this from the letters column in last weekend's paper and because it 'hit me like a train' I have read it 100 times.

Because legal-age involvement is voluntary I have no axe to grind about 'the Industry'. I really don't care.
But I DO care about the role of Cybersex in my life.

I've tried but...I can't just -'dabble'. I guess it's like nicotine addiction... a puff's never enough so.... ya either smoke...or, ya don't. Simple.

You know what I'm saying. Am I alone?

Trust me when I say I know EXACTLY what you mean. There is no such thing as enough. This "hobby" of ours is also known as an addiction. We either choose to change...or we don't...just like any other addiction.

I love my "addiction".

I think people are different. Its not an addiction for everyone ... but probably is for the majority of people here, so no, you're not alone.

I smoke ciggies, occasionally. It takes me about a month to go through a pack, but it depends. I'm not addicted, thankfully. I've gone for months at a time without, and I've also smoked at a much faster rate for months at a time. Am I a "smoker"? Uh, I'm not sure. Am I lucky? Not sure.

I think I approach pRon the same way. I surf for pRon every so often, sometimes more, sometimes less. I get enough to satisfy my cravings and Willy my Wonka. Am I addicted? Not sure, but I don't think so. I *am* addicted to feeling good. Could I spend more time surfing for pRon? Fuck yeah. Why don't I? Hmmm.

Seems to me there are even different levels of "addiction", right? There is spending a couple hours a day here kinda addiction ... and then there is spending 12 hours a day here kinda addiction ... and then there is Esteban.

What's the deal? Are you thinking that pRon is interfering with some specific aspect of your life? R-ships? Job? Friends? Etc. Then we're talking a totally different kettle of worms, or can of fish.

Anyway relax, try not to analyze too much, and don't be too down on yourself about it. However, feel free to be down on yourself for only making 6 posts in over 2 years here.

Oh, I'm just kidding...

p.s. me, I'm trying to figger out WTF is wrong with my sig.

Yeah it's a terrible habbit . There's this one guy I know of... he made a post on a forum asking for his account to be removed from that forum if possible... he came back the next day after changing his mind overnight!

That guy I reckon tried to get away from his 'bad habits' but failed... but thanks to that failure in him he stayed on his favourite forum and it was a welcome decision by so many members there! (here)

I check these forums every day for more porn.

Anything can be addictive. It's the addiction that's the problem, not the thing that someone is addicted to. (Obviously I'm not referring to chemical addiction here). With this particular site there is the opportunity to download massive amounts of porn very easily and and at very small cost. When I first joined I downloaded gigabytes of material just because it was there and I could. After a while I became much more selective and I only download what I have a particular interest in. I would imagine that is true of most members. For myself I would say I'm a collector rather than a viewer of porn. I collect photo sets of particular girls and when I find a set I don't have I get very excited, download it and neatly file it away. The thing is that I don't look at these sets. My collecting habit is no more a sexual thing than if I was collecting stamps or railway engine numbers.

There is of course another type of (possible) addiction associated with this particular site. That of posting pornographic material. This I think is an interesting phenomenon. Why do we do it? I have spent many hours involved in this activity and I know I'm only a mere dabbler compared to several contributors here. It surely can't simply be a selfless desire to share what we have. Do we seek validation of some kind? I'd be interested to hear the thoughts of some of the other major contributors to this site.

Believe it or not, my biggest thing about posting was that I wanted to share what I paid to download so others wouldn't have to pay. (Again) believe it or not...I at one time had a couple great threads going, before I deleted all the links But there was a lot of personal gratification to knowing people liked what I was posting, and although I didn't do it for thanks, it was nice to hear that it was appreciated.

I, like Shadowman, hardly ever watched anything I downloaded, just bits and pieces, I just collected to collect and HAVE it...when I "needed" it.

Shadowman, yungt33nluvr,

Im right there with ya.
At first it was because it was all horny and allot of quality time with myself
But as time passed by it steadily changed into something else, just to have that one exclusive picture of that one peticular woman. Having what only true collector's have, and like Shadowman, neatly filing them, renaming the burned DVD's so its not that obvious that my entire bottom drawer was filled to the brim with pRon.

And what did I do with it?
Just glanced at it to see what kind material it was, noted it in a database and find the next exclusive content..
