 * '''Emotions like stress, loneliness, or boredom often precede unwanted  pornography viewing more often than actual sexual urges'''. ''Staley, Cameron. Beginning Your Life After Pornography: Overcoming Your Struggle with Unwanted Pornography Viewing (p. 24). The Life After Series. Kindle Edition.''
 ** Many people believe that unwanted pornography viewing is a  sexual problem. Although you are viewing sexual images and engaging  in a sexual act like masturbation, the triggering event is many times an  EMOTION rather than a sexual urge. The same is true for eating  concerns. You may binge on a bucket of chicken wings but what lead up  to the impulsive drive-thru purchase was more likely stress, anxiety, or  disconnection instead of an overwhelming appetite for greasy chicken.  ''Staley, Cameron.

 Secondly, much of what we call lust started as innocent curiosity. Nobody taught me what was assur, so I got hooked before knowing that it was so terrible.
-At the same time, realize that there are many forum entries from people who seem to have been lust driven from quite young ages without any real emotional baggage.[https://guardyoureyes.com/forum/2-What-Works-for-Me/319577-could-DEALING-with-my-EMOTIONS-CORRECTLY-be-the#319613]</blockquote>#Shlomo24<blockquote>Not for me. The core reason for my lust addiction is my lust addiction. I have a physical addiction to the dopamine rush that comes in when I take in lust. I will not stop until I get the serotonin overload that I crave. The serotonin sensors will be more and more dulled as I overload them and I will need a bigger thrill each time in order to satisfy myself.

 Dealing with my emotions is integral to my recovery, but the main way I deal with them is I accept them and let them go. Feelings are overrated. I'm more focused on how I am doing rather than how I am feeling.
 Will dealing with my emotions stop me from lusting and will it give me sobriety? No. I need to deal with the lust head on.<ref>https://guardyoureyes.com/forum/2-What-Works-for-Me/319577-could-DEALING-with-my-EMOTIONS-CORRECTLY-be-the#319580</ref></blockquote>

 ** The Role of Stress [in Self Control] Evidence suggests that stress tends to favour the short-term hedonic system since the long-term restraint system becomes depleted (Hofmann et al., 2009). ''Toates, Frederick. How Sexual Desire Works (p. 222). Cambridge University Press. Kindle Edition.''
 ** Sexually addicted people commonly suffer simultaneously from disorders such as anxiety and depression (Kafka, 2000). For some, these conditions trigger increased sexual interest (Bancroft and Vukadinovic, 2004). Negative emotions are commonly experienced prior to acquisition of the addiction or in parallel or both. In these terms, consider the description ‘compulsive sexual behaviour as mediated by anxiety reduction, rather than by sexual desire per se’ (Leiblum and Rosen, 2000, p. 471). This appears to be a false dichotomy: in incentive terms, the strength of sexual desire is maintained in part by any associated anxiety reduction. p. 338.

 * When placed in a situation of stress, people take corrective action so as to try to reduce the stress. Sometimes they stumble upon their particular effective action by accident. One way is through taking a chemical cure in the form of drugs such as alcohol. Others discover that sexual stimulation, as in Internet pornography, is a way of lowering stress levels or soothing negative emotions of some form (Turner, 2008). ''Toates, Frederick. How Sexual Desire Works (p. 340). Cambridge University Press. Kindle Edition.''

	"Jewish teachings can also provide valuable insight that may help to supplant the specific negative assumptions themselves that often lie at the root of these pernicious cognitive distortions. For example, the belief that God plays an active role in one’s daily affairs through Divine Providence ( hashgacha) and ultimately has one’s best interest in mind lies at the root of the Jewish faith (bitachon) can effectively countervail these and other distorted cognitions. In fact, classic Jewish thought itself espouses that trust in God can protect against feelings of worry and depression and enables an individual to maintain a sense of peace (Ibn Pekuda, Duties of the Heart)."
