Resumo

This paper is a case study of a self-described pornoholic, or an individual who consistently watches an excessive amount of pornographic content. Pornographic material is dangerous and unlawful because it is forbidden from both a moral and religious perspective. One of the most widely circulated types of sexual exploitation is pornography. Enforcement agencies and internet-preventing technologies do not appear to provide an all-encompassing fix with regard to pornographic problems, though. The objective of this study was to provide an overview of the perceptions, motivations, implications, and actions taken to fight and combat pornography. Throughout this study, there was only one participant, and Coliazzi's approach was used to analyze the data. These themes were indicated by the results: sexually preoccupied and normalcy for his perceptions; happiness, boredom, and habituation for his motivations; sexual imitation and sexual attraction for his implications; and self-control, guilt, and avoidance for his actions to fight pornography. Even though his daily existence continues to be intertwined with his dependency on pornography, and he finds it challenging to refrain from seeing it, he nonetheless requires our empathy and comprehension throughout this disorganized, tempting environment.
