Addicted: Aussie porn addicts watch porn ‘five hours a day’
That’s right; a huge number of us may spend up to 35 hours a week watching online sex videos. That’s almost as many hours as most 9-5 workers put in.
The addiction is having a crippling affect on personal lives and relationships, says Dr Phil Watts, who is a porn researcher and psychologist. He adds that the problem often gets worse over time, as porn can condition the brain to progressively seek out “harder” pornography.

How do people have that much time on their hands? To ignore real life and live in a virtual world.

Recently I found out my husband was secretly watching pornography, ‘for years’.., ‘and much less than five hours a day. Cut a very sad story short, my husband excessive porn use, nearly destroyed our 25 year marriage … I was as shocked as anyone. Meaning.. Surely porn viewing can’t change a person, a relationship? Tragically, it does! My husband (did) replace me with pornography, and his long term use of pornography DID change his behaviour. I.e. Verbally/emotionally abusive, secretive, deceitful, Objectifies women, etc., etc.. As his wife, all this totally broke me, emotionally and physically..
Wow! It’s a surprising result! Didn’t think the rate would be that high in porno viewers. Do people really resort to sex videos for pleasure or crippling personal relationships ?
