Harm reduction is an important and often overlooked component of addiction recovery. With porn addiction it’s pretty simple usually, you either look at porn or you don’t. But I believe that even within active porn addiction, the principles of harm reduction can be applied. The principles of harm reduction that I’m referring to here have to do with reducing the harm that porn inflicts while in active usage, while the relapse is actually happening and you’re watching porn.

You donât know whatâs going to happen next, you donât know how your life will change, you canât predict the future. But the one thing you know for certain, whatever this thing is, using porn, is killing you. Itâs killing you, slowly, bit by bit, PMO by PMO. In every session you die, over years of your life.

A poignant and shaking new research project on porn addiction uncovers what we already suspected.

My porn use put me into a state of emotional and social withdrawal in almost every aspect of my life, and because of that, I suffered significantly socially, romantically and academically. I lost many years of my development because I could not feel any pleasure and I could not make sense of the world â my mind was in a state of constant turmoil.â
Exploring the Lived Experience of Problematic Users of Internet Pornographyâ A Qualitative Study is a research project I conducted as part of the requirements for the Master of Counselling & Psychotherapy course I have recently (finally) completed. While itâs soon to be published in the peer reviewed journal Sexual Addiction & Compulsivity, published by Taylor & Francis, in this post I reflect on what it was like to research this topic and I share some of the responses I received which highlight, to me, the seriousness of this emerging problem. I will post a link to the peer reviewed article here soon as it is published but I have uploaded a preprint version to Research Gate which I have linked to above.
