I was drinking a beer the other day with a good friend of mine, and he was on the topic of his recent divorce, I was just playing a good friend and being an ear for him. He then concluded that he had an addiction, and he has had it for since he could remember and it was the cause of his divorce. He admitted that he was addicted to porn. He said it wasn't so much the pleasure (although that played a big role), but instead the novelty of the habit. He had lost a lot of time away from his relationship with his ex-wife because of the addiction, he lost an attraction to her, but would be easily aroused by other women (again the novelty).
I was pretty surprised and shocked, but he said he was going to see a doctor about it. As a friend I want to help any way I can, addiction is never an easy thing to understand. I didn't know about porn addiction, so this morning I woke up and did a bit of research for him. Basically everything I found is summarized in this video talk:

The guys here will watch 16 minutes of porn before they'll watch that video.
I know. And yet that's why even young guys are needing the little blue pill nowadays just to get the equipment working. Nothing arouses them any more except an hour of porn daily. Very, very pathetic.

Does anyone have any experience with this? What sort of advice can I give him?
Very sad to hear that pornography has ruined another person's marriage. As Jesus says if something offends you/causes you to stumble, than cut it off and cast it from you (gross paraphrase). For this type of thing, if someone can't handle porn it's better for them not to have a computer at all or internet access.
Just cut it off, and work to reconcile the relationship. So sad to hear how this destroys so many.
Maybe if he was watching porn with his wife there would not have been such a problem.
