Addicted to tabu chat or dark stuff. Deep need for connection

Is there anyone who is addicted to porn and/or fantasies that escalated to tabu stuff? This has gone down with me making more connections. I am moving towards craving more normal connection lately, through sobriety. I believe the tabu attraction was all about power. Also frustration of not getting love. I am trans woman, so need for validation was higher than most.
Looking for friends really. Write to me.

Hi Leah,
I think many porn addicts end up escalating from “vanilla” porn to more taboo, hardcore, and in some circumstances even illegal content.
From my understanding, a lot of it comes down to the dopamine and always chasing that little bit more/different/weirder/kinkier in order to try and get “satisfaction”.
Of course, it isn’t really satisfaction, it’s just a temporary reprieve before the nagging urges are back and you are looking for the next taboo thing to watch.
There are a couple of active threads for sex & porn addicts, with plenty of like-minded people who’ve been through similar (if not the same) issues. :slight_smile:

Thanks, it is an attempt to move away from human to more animalistic aspects, which are lower vibrations which makes one feel invincible… thanks for replying. How are you? What is your journey? :slight_smile:
