Thank you for sharing. It unfortunately makes sense, more isolation, job loses, boredom can lead to people using porn as a coping mechanism.

I do feel there needs to be more education and campaigning on when to spot healthy and unhealthy relationships with porn. Like a simple slogan. Gambling has 'when the fun stops, stop'. Need the same on porn sites, posters at school, in public etc.

I had never heard of stop it now before my partner admitted his offending. Needs more coverage and Funding I think.

Hi

Yes I am not surprised by this article either.

I too follow Belinda Winder on Twitter, she writes many interesting, empathic posts.



There needs to be help and support for these people, it is just so sad, not prison, proper rehabilitation and education.
