Behind the Screen: How Therapy Can Help with Porn Recovery

A majority of men aged 18–30 use pornography weekly. If you have ever felt conflicted, stuck, or unsure about your relationship with porn, you are not alone.

For many men, porn use begins casually and privately. Over time, it can come to feel less like a choice and more like a habit that is hard to step away from. Therapy offers a space to understand why this happens and to regain a sense of agency, without shame or judgment.

Quick Stats

• 87–97% of adult men have viewed pornography at some point in their lives

• Around 70% of men aged 18–30 consume porn, with 50–70% of men worldwide reporting weekly use

• The global porn industry generates tens of billions of dollars annually, with major sites reporting 30 - 42 billion visits per year and an estimated 115 million daily visits worldwide

• Many individuals are first exposed to pornography before the age of 18

• Platforms such as OnlyFans have further blurred the line between fantasy, intimacy, and real-time connection

How Porn May Be Impacting You

When porn use becomes compulsive or misaligned with your values, it can begin to affect areas of life that matter most:

• Emotional and physical intimacy in relationships

• Self-esteem, confidence, and self-trust

• Mental health, including anxiety, shame, or low mood

• Spirituality or personal belief systems

• Your overall relationship with yourself

• 
  

Often, porn is not the core issue it is a coping strategy for stress, loneliness, pressure, or emotional overload.
