Worried about porn addiction? The BBC would like to hear from you
BBC Radio 1 has been working with psychologists in London on a new research project into porn and its impact on sex, relationships and society in general. A special radio programme in April will tackle a whole range of issues including porn addiction. The journalists there are keen to speak to anyone who has been affected by these issues.
If you would like to find out more and have a chat with one of the reporters, with no commitment to participate in the show, then let me know and I'll put you in touch.

porn bbc
This is an amazing find - something I have been looking for for ages.
I am not addicted to porn but I do look at pornographic images and it disgusts me. I can spend ages flicking through - settling on some - for a few moments - seeking something that I will like - but aware that 90% of it is violent and abusive - repetitive. Not likeable. I can never watch more than 5 mins of any one thing. This is a real problem to me since I spent most of my youth as a feminist. I still am. And I feel a real conflict between hating the images, frustrated and ashamed of myself - while still ... actually consciously making a decision to subject myself and somehow still experiencing a degree of pleasure. I accept that sexuality is clearly more complex then I can fathom. I love my partner - we have had a great sex life (bit unsure just now), of course there are ways that I can say its not great. More recently its not been great but I love and feel physically drawn to him. I'm happy in my marriage. We are happily married.
But this porn thing. I stop short of hating myself since I know there is no value in that. But I really wish I could work out how to stop. My 'use' is not excessive - minimal - but I can spend hours when I have other far more productive things I could be doing.
Anyway - simple as it is. This is the first time I have found something that at least allowed me to admit it. To articulate. And t find there are other women - not unlike myself.
Thank you. This at least is a safe on-line space.
My time on internet porn
My time on internet porn scares me. I have tried many times to stop and attempted numerous programs designed to help you stop viewing pornography but have failed. The type of pornography I watch is getting more and more violent and has probably reached the boundaries of being illegal in this country, if it has not already crossed it. I get nothing from watching porn but there is a driving force to do it, much like a drug. I worry about how it affecting my relationship with others, hate myself for doing it, and yet cannot stop. The worse thing is that no one else knows I am struggling with this problem so I can't get any help or support
