Ronald finds most porn sites pretty boring. They just don’t offer the excitement he’s seeking. Curiosity led him to fetish sites, then sites with questionably legal and outright illegal content. Although he knows the images he’s looking at are inappropriate, no amount of convincing himself that it’s wrong has ever gotten him offline.

Now that his cravings for more unusual images and videos have begun to escalate, Ron fears he might get into legal trouble. Even though the sites say everyone is over 18, some of them look awfully young. The sites say it’s okay, but deep down Ronald doesn’t feel good about the path he is on. He tells himself he’ll stop looking, but he never does.

Why He Might Seek TreatmentThe shame and disgust Ronald feels have worn on him and he realizes he needs professional help. Or perhaps someone catches onto the types of content he’s viewing online and he fears his reputation and freedom are on the line. Ronald’s behavior may also have attracted the attention of the FBI. He gets a lawyer, who advises him to get into treatment.
