The Pseudo Attachment Created by Pornography
One of the main reasons why porn can be so addictive and difficult to quit is because it creates a pseudo attachment or pseudo relationship. When individuals feel a lack of trust or stability in their primary relationships, they may seek to fill that void by creating pseudo attachments to objects, substances, or behaviors. Pornography provides a sense of connection, energy exchange, and emotional fulfillment that individuals may desire in their relationships but feel unable to obtain. This pseudo attachment can be reinforced by regular consumption of similar types of porn over an extended period of time. In order to overcome the addiction and let go of porn, it is important to recognize and understand this pseudo attachment and develop healthier, meaningful relationships with others.
