Pain and the Role of Porn as a Coping Mechanism
Porn addiction is often a way of coping with pain, trauma, or emotional wounds. It serves as an escape and a means to seek comfort and fulfillment. It becomes a way to numb emotions or avoid facing difficult situations. This can lead to a cycle of using porn as a quick fix to deal with emotional pain rather than addressing the root causes of the pain.
