Pornography has always been with us, and it’s always been controversial. It all boils down to personal preference and personal choice. Some people aren’t interested in it, and some are deeply offended by it. Others partake of it occasionally and others on a regular basis. Since people may be reluctant to talk about it, it’s difficult to know how many people enjoy porn on a regular basis, or how many find it impossible to resist. It’s important to note that “porn addiction” isn’t an official diagnosis recognized by the American Psychiatric Association (APA). But experiencing an uncontrollable compulsion to view porn can be as problematic for some people as other behavioral addictions.

Since then, it’s become much easier to access porn via the internet and streaming services.This easy access makes it more difficult to stop if watching porn has become a problem.
