Many factors contribute to the fall of a person into pornography addiction.
The following factors can be true of all pornography addicts, but may be seen more prominently in men. Pride - the unwillingness to admit that he is out of control. Selfishness - the reality that everything the person does is geared toward satisfying his own desires, regardless of how lurid or deviant they may be. Dishonesty - part of the defense mechanism that is built into most pornography addicts. They usually do not know how to be honest with themselves about their own conditions, and find it all but impossible to be honest with anyone else when confronted with the issue.
