Sadly, this religious error may push her toward involvement with porn as a dysfunctional way to confirm her guilt-ridden self-concept: “It’s my curse . . . I’m so messed up, it can’t be fixed!” Because of such self-deprecating thoughts, porn usage may serve as an indirect form of self-punishment, which a girl imagines she deserves for what she feel is her “oversexed” disposition. This shame factor might also be connected to a fear of intimacy. Imaginary individuals are less threatening real persons. A sex object comes without the personal expectations of a living subject. Fantasy-lust and cyber-sex require none of the demanding work of a real relationship."

"People who have suffered sexual abuse or assault can use porn to explore sexual feelings they do not feel safe to talk about or pursue with others. People who have become isolated due to symptoms of anxiety or depression may use porn to counter that loneliness and isolation... When people use porn to try to cope with unresolved trauma or other psychological pain, they are at an increased risk of establishing a pattern of regular porn use. People who have suffered trauma often learn to dissociate from emotions and memories related to the trauma. Porn use can become a way to prolong or intensify these states... porn can trigger a flood of dopamine in excess of what a person might feel from sex. Physically, what causes addiction to porn is the repeated pursuit of this state of arousal in combination with avoidance of the negative states that follow... Using porn significantly increases the risk of infidelity and loss of long-term relationships... Feelings of guilt, shame or moral conflict over porn use can also trigger anxious thoughts and negative mood states... A person with a porn addiction might use porn at work, get caught, lose their job but continue using it afterward, even at a new job.
