Pornography and sexuality research papers at the 5th International Conference on Behavioral Addictions

Aligning the “Manifesto for a European Research Network into Problematic Usage of the Internet” with the Diverse Needs of the Professional and Consumer Communities Affected by Problematic Usage of Pornography

“…Similarly, conference reports [23,24] and our informal discussions with both individual problematic pornography users in the community [26] and among sex therapists [15,16], suggest that there are co-morbidities with other addictions, both to substances and behaviours. Developing new and/or improved strategies for treating complex webs of problematic usage are always of value.…”

“…This assessment is supported by the author's wide-ranging dialogues with professional, recovery and consumer communities. Since 2016 we have had face-to-face discussions on pornography consumption with over 9000 people in the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, France, Germany, Croatia, Hungary, the Ukraine, Turkey, Japan, Australia and the United States [23,24].…”

“…It is apparent from our experience in meeting researchers from all parts of the world [23,24] that the therapists' own knowledge, attitudes and prejudices are very important issues in terms of delivering access to appropriate treatment services.
