Understanding Current Behavior and Its Roots

The urge to use porn as a means to escape reality and reduce stress is a common behavior. It stems from a desire to seek quick relaxation through a high-stimulus activity that provides an escape from the pressures of everyday life. This behavior is often rooted in childhood experiences where individuals learned to cope with stress by seeking out mechanisms like pornography to dissociate from reality.
