Deep dives
The Rise of Porn Addiction
A significant study revealed that 61% of Americans report viewing pornography at some level, surprising many by showing a growing trend among women, with 44% engaging in its consumption. This shift indicates that pornography is no longer primarily associated with men, as it has become increasingly marketed towards women. The motivations for both genders largely center around pleasure and a need for stimulation, yet the consumption patterns reflect different underlying desires. For men, the visual nature of pornography often caters to their instant gratification needs, while women tend to connect it with romance and fantasy, illustrating the complex influences of the multi-billion dollar industry.
