012 - The Link Between Gaming and Porn Addiction

If you spend any amount of time on the internet you'll soon start to see how prevalent porn is in our modern world. The rise in smartphone technology and high-speed internet has made porn more easily accessible than ever before in history. This has unsurprisingly led to a huge number of problems. One of those issues is porn addiction. As it turns out, gamers tend to watch a lot of porn. So much so, that a large number of people in our community come to us for help on both issues. In this episode, I explore the relationship in further detail, providing references to scientific research and anecdotal evidence to highlight a rapidly growing problem faced by millions of people around the world. As always, thanks for listening. If you enjoyed the episode don't forget to leave a review. It really helps us out. Until next time. Music by Nordgroove from Fugue.
