Different people have different views and values in regards to the usage of porn and the porn industry. However, when porn use becomes compulsive or begins to interfere with your daily functioning, it can be helpful to seek professional support. Addiction, whether to porn or any other behaviour, can affect relationships, work, emotional health, and overall well-being.
 
When considering your own porn use, it’s worth reflecting on its impact across different areas of your life. Ask yourself: Is it affecting your relationship or your openness with your partner? Has it influenced your sexual experiences, including frequency or satisfaction? Is it interfering with your work, concentration, or focus? Are you prioritising porn over activities you used to enjoy, or over socialising and connecting with others? Is it contributing to sexual difficulties, such as erectile dysfunction?

Working with a therapist can help you explore these questions in a safe, non-judgmental space. Therapy can support you in understanding the underlying drivers of your behaviour, developing healthier habits, and rebuilding intimacy and connection with yourself and your partner. It can also help reduce shame, anxiety or stress related to porn use, and empower you to make choices that align with your values and improve your overall quality of life.
