Pornography addiction is just a variant as I would see it, of sexual addiction, but it's primarily not with a human being. It's with pictures and images and of course the internet plays a big role in the availability of it and it often involves a great expense.
I've worked with people who've spent thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars on images. Pornography of all shapes and sizes.
Now there's also subsets of pornography addiction such as, you know... graphic images of children versus graphic images of adults and that is an altogether different sort of domain, but there are similarities.
But people with pornography addiction do not necessarily do well with a real person. They do well with an objective piece of paper that they can visualize, fantasize about, but they don't have to negotiate all the feelings and thoughts and talk that you might have to do with a real human being.
