[...] I’m part of the first generation of men to grow up with internet pornography as part and parcel of everyday life.
I’ve never had to pay for pornography; I’ve never faced the
embarrassment of asking for it and, when I tire of one image, there’s
always another . . . and another . . . and another.
Type
the words ‘free porn’ into an internet search engine and you’ll get
more than 25 million hits, with most sites containing hundreds, if not
thousands, of pornographic images.
Internet porn was part of my life
throughout my late teens and into early adulthood. But now, at 23, I’m
increasingly aware that I have a problem. I’m
not yet ready to describe myself as an addict, but there’s no denying
that internet porn has become a deeply ingrained daily habit. Indeed, I
struggle to get through a day without at least one visit to one of my
favourite sites.
Now, I’m
sure many of you will be mouthing a quiet ‘Yuk’ as you read this and I
entirely understand your reaction. But what you need to know is that I’m
certainly not alone — I’m convinced that virtually every man of my age
will access internet porn sites on a reasonably regular basis, as will
many men twice or even three times my age.
