porn addiction

what is it?

Porn addiction is essentially a kind of sex addiction but it pertains to the compulsion to watch porn rather than engage in risky sexual activities. Basically, when watching porn negatively affects your life then you have a problem.

At Stewart Therapies it is not our role to tell you whether watching porn is good or bad (there are views reflecting both positions). It is our role to help you recognise whether your porn habits are excessive and how they are interfering with your normal daily life and personal relationships.

effects of porn addiction

It is now widely known that porn addiction can lead to:-

  1. Erectile Dysfunction
  2. Premature Ejaculation

Porn Addiction can cause a person to become obsessed with thoughts of a sexual nature and this can, at times, pave the way to guilt and shame.

Porn Addiction can cause massive problems within relationships and the addict may find a growing need to incorporate more aggression or violence into sex - and in doing some may become emotionally detached and/or withdrawn. Due to the fact that internet porn is often male centred and misogynistic the addict will become conditioned to believe that this is how sex is done. 

TREATMENT FOR PORN ADDICTION

There are multiple ways of treating porn addiction and we believe that Mindfulness is a key ingredient in treatment. We incorporate Couples Therapy, Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy in order to treat porn addiction.
