I Think my son is a high level porn addict .. what should I do?

I was exploring my son's laptop 1 year ago and I found he has a folder containing tons of pornography videos with every possible category and porn stars collection, I tried to talk to him and made him read books, media and subreddits about the negative effects of porn addiction.

but still, I don't see any change in his behavior! *I know that because I secretly installed a surveillance program that tracks and sends me his activity*

Does anyone have an idea how can i give him the proper motivation?

Thanks!

Hi @KevinJoshua,

Thank you for sharing. It sounds like this behaviour is quite concerning for you. It is great that you have tried to talk to your son about the impacts that this may have on his life. What has been his response to the material when you share it? Considering your concern, the impact and potential severity of this behaviour, it may be beneficial to seek support from a health professional like a GP or psychologist. They can help your son directly or guide you to manage this situation with the right strategies. Is this something you've thought of doing before?
