Misunderstandings About Porn Usage in Young Men
Porn usage among young men is often misunderstood as being related to sexual perversion, but it is actually a powerful emotional coping mechanism. Addiction to pornography often starts at a very young age and is not driven by sexual desire. Pornography is used as a way to suppress negative emotions and feelings of shame and guilt. People addicted to pornography often continue using it to cope with these negative emotions. Research shows that the main factor associated with pornography addiction is meaninglessness in one's life. Helping individuals find purpose and meaning in their lives is crucial in addressing and overcoming pornography addiction.
