Porn Sickness 

A distorted view of the world due to an obsessive interest in pornography. A subset of internet addiction.

Coined by the r/pornfree community on reddit, porn sickness results from a hyper-imbalanced relationship with pornography. Bored by the lack of novelty in vanilla content, porn sick users seek out and become familiar with increasingly perverted porn fetishes online. Often they feel as if that there's little that can surprise them anymore.

This oversaturation leads to gradual detaching from society. What is considered normal, even in non-sexual social interactions, tends to fade from memory as the user spirals around his obsessive interest. These affected users tend to find themselves in a "porn focused state of mind" 24/7, left wondering what happened to the original sexual tastes that set them on their dark journey so long ago.

Porn Sickness usually has 3 main tells:
-Decreased enjoyment of pornography
-Increased escalation of said pornography
-A confusing separation from otherwise healthy relationships
Internet addiction is quickly becoming a talking point in today's society....but people are still discovering the symptoms of porn sickness.

Using online activity as a way to detach from real emotions is common in those with internet addiction, but the symptoms of using porn are especially detrimental and lead to porn sickness.
