You are not alone
Pornography is readily accessible to anyone who has access to the internet, with about 4 million websites offering this type of content.
According to Ofcom, 29% or 13.8 million adults visited pornographic online services in May 2023 alone.
As the porn industry continues to grow, concerns and self-report of porn addiction and excessive use of porn have increased. Yet, for many individuals, regaining control over their porn use can be a struggle.
Porn addiction is real
Pornography can affect the brain similarly to other addictive substances, like drugs and alcohol, and addictive behaviors, like gambling.
For some individuals, the use of porn can lead to compulsive behaviors. You may find it difficult to stop or reduce your use despite experiencing real, negative consequences in your life and relationships. You also may find yourself spending more time alone to view porn.
The compulsive behaviors and struggle with reducing or stopping their porn use can often lead to feelings of:
- Shame
- Guilt
- Loneliness
Additionally, as the use continues, it can become harder to hide the behaviors or control your use. You may find yourself:
- Isolating yourself from others
- Struggling to maintain a healthy relationship with your partner
- Neglecting your responsibilities due to the use of porn
- Experiencing sexual dysfunction
- Thinking excessively about porn, even when you’re not engaging with it
- Unable to stop watching even though you want to
You can overcome porn addiction and heal with therapy for porn addiction.
