Men and porn
A Guardian article from 2003. It has stood the test of time. "Pornography is ubiquitous, more profitable, more acceptable than ever. We argue about the effects on women participants but scant attention is given to the millions of mainly male users. What does porn do to men? Edward Marriott investigates"
Women and porn
"Increasing numbers of women admit to being hooked on internet porn. Why is this happening, and where are they finding help?" This story of women and porn is from a 2011 article in the Guardian newspaper. You can also read Stephanie's story on our blog
An interesting journal and comments thread by the wife of a porn addict.

FROM THE BLOG
‘EVAN’ is in psychotherapy. He has agreed to collaborate, from time to time, with Porn Recovery UK about his process of working with a 30-year porn habit. Here’s his second blog.
I dreamed about sex. I think I must be scared that I’m giving up all of sex – not just porn. It’s 8.50am now, and I feel bad tempered. I’ve just woken up, and the girls have already gone out shopping. Normally, this would be a great chance to masturbate to Internet porn. But I’m sticking to my resolution. Every time I think about porn I say to myself, ‘I’m not doing that at the moment.’
I decided to get up and write an entry. I want to write how much I love Jessica and my girls – Lucy and Maxine. I feel more comfortable writing this here and talking about my issues in therapy than I do with Jessica, though. I realise that there is still a lot for us to sort out since she discovered what I’d been up to on the Internet. I wish we were back together sleeping in the same bed.

'... a "must read" for any therapist who has reservations about their ability to work in this area as well as being a novel of hope for victims, like its characters Marc and Louise, who are at a stage where they are ready to contemplate the possibility of change.' Kathy Mitchell
