Is there such a thing as porn addiction? When is porn too much, what does it look like, and how can it be overcome?
Porn is everywhere - on your phone, your computer, your gaming console.
So does that mean we’re more likely to have a problem with porn than we did in the past? And if so how can we get away from something that exists wherever we are?
Some researchers question whether porn addiction exists because the manual Australian psychologists use for diagnosis, the DSM 5, doesn’t include pornography addiction.
The World Health Organisation's diagnostic manual, the ICD-11, does list compulsive sexual behaviour disorder as a diagnosis and some practitioners place porn addiction under that.
So is it a thing or not? It seems like that’s still up for debate.
Either way, there is agreement that there is problematic porn use, and that is a growing issue.
What does it look like, and what can we do about it?
Episodes are released weekly on Wednesdays from 24th September (Episode One).
