Question about sex adddiction and ADD
« Thread Started on Mar 22, 2007, 10:29am »
Hi folks. Newbie here with a controversial question! Yay me!

One of our big issues is his obsession with internet p0rn. We almost split up over it. I kept finding it over and over, I'd get upset, he'd promise not to do it anymore, he would lie and try to hide it better, etc. We went around in this circle for a year, and it drove me so crazy. It finally came to a head in October, when we had a huge fight over it and I insisted we get counseling. We went to our first session and it went well - but just 4 days later, I found it again. I finally put software on our computers to monitor websites, and he seems to be doing better.

I found only one article on a correlation between ADD and sexual addictions. Does anyone know of any resources on this subject? Thanks!!!!

Internet porn has been a recurring problem with many of our members' ADD partners. It's one of those addictions which helps "jump start" the brain.
