Abstract
The aim of this article is to contribute to the general knowledge pertaining to pornography use as a problematic behavior. Pornography addiction is difficult to define, but what professionals tend to agree on is that pornography use can become a problematic behavior (Harkness, Psych, Mullan, & Blaszczynski, 2015). A recent review of the literature found that approximately 87% of males use pornography each month, and about 58% are watching pornography each week (Brem et al., 2018). Young men are among the top consumers of pornography, and prevalence rates indicate more than 90% of males have looked at pornography in their lifetime (Miller, Mcbain, & Raggatt, 2018). Pornography use, if viewed as a problematic behavior, can have devastating consequences for not only the individual who views pornography, but their family, intimate partners, and peers.
