Over half of UK therapists see rise in out-of-control porn use

What happened: A survey by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy found that 53% of therapists working with men with addiction reported an increase in clients struggling with problematic pornography use over the past year.

Why it matters:

  • Increased porn use is causing some individuals to neglect responsibilities and damage relationships.
  • Therapists are calling for a national strategy to address this growing issue.

MNN Take: The data highlights a growing concern among health professionals about the impact of excessive pornography use on mental health and daily life, signalling a need for coordinated support and intervention.
