New FMRI Brain Study Shows Similarities Of Porn Struggles And Substance And Gambling Addictions

There’s a vast amount of research on the harmful effects of pornography, and it’s important that this information is accessible to the public.

These studies cover a wide range of topics, from the sociological implications of pornography to the neurological effects of porn consumption.

Pornography consumption has become highly prevalent, in part because of nearly universal Internet availability.

Approximately 70% of males and 20% of females aged 18-30 years use pornography weekly (Hald, 2006).

Among teenagers, less than 18 years of age, 90% of boys and 60% of girls have used internet pornography (Sabina et al, 2008), with 12% of children having onset of regular consumption below age 12 (Opinium Research, 2014).

For most people, pornography viewing is a form of entertainment, but for some individuals, problematic pornography use (PPU) accompanied by excessive masturbation promotes seeking of treatment (Gola et al, 2016a).
