Porn with AI can be more addictive than traditional pornography – and this causes serious problems.
“Gooner” and a former 26-year-old Kyle-oriented, Kyle, fell again on the way, last summer, but this time it was porn generated by artificial intelligence (IA).
“It was something I had never seen before-and I had to go see more,” confesses the young man to the wired, taken in the illusion of surreal fantasies, increasingly extreme and hypersexualized and hypersexual characteristics of the artificial “women” he saw on the screen.
It was on Instagram that the first taste of pornography appeared, in a reel where a woman with “body size breasts” was seen who attracted him in a unique way.
Addiction in pornography is not even officially recognized as a diagnosis of mental disturbance, and the growing AI -generated, more intense porn industry can also intensify the compulsion of “normal” pornography and especially to ward off those who consume it from real relationships, warning therapists.
“We already live in a society where people are increasingly used to having what they want when they want. Although this is convenient for many aspects of life, it is harmful to relationships and the community, ”warns therapist Leor Ram.
Kyle’s addiction began to affect his relationship. He felt his libido decrease and difficulties in sexual performance. His companion, not knowing what was going on, began to walk away-and Kyle was looking for forms in forums to stop consuming porn, online places where thousands of people classify porn with Ia like “insane” and “Highly addictive”.
Platforms like Pornhub, the world’s largest pornography site, currently restricts the charging of IA content to animations created by verified users. But this kind of pornography with participants who don’t even exist increasingly consumes.
The content vary between fanciful scenarios or fictional characters, but also Hyperrealist Celebrity Recreations. Real world victims are increasingly “naked” by AI without their consent.
At the economic level, the AI porn industry is already generating recipes. An investigation from the indicator at 85 “Nudification” sites “Yes, they walk around,” estimates the market has an annual value of about $ 36 million. With the entry into force of stricter age verification laws in several US states, it is fear that many people choose to create AI at home content to circumvent these restrictions.
For Kyle, the turning point happened on a work trip in February. Alone in a hotel, after another compulsive night of masturbation, she realized she didn’t feel better – on the contrary. Since then, he has joined support groups and drastically reduced the consumption of adult content.
