Accessibility, affordability and anonymity via modern technology are the “triple A” underlying conditions that allow pornography addiction to spread.

With more online pornography available than ever before, it’s easier than ever for people to access pornography cheaply and anonymously. These are thought to be some of the driving reasons for an uptick in pornography addiction.
Since pornography has moved from physical goods like video cassettes and magazines to digital media shared online, people no longer need to visit a store and speak with a salesperson to access pornography.

Additionally, much of the pornographic content available online is freely available. This allows people to find new pornography on a basically limitless basis as more content is uploaded to the internet.
Recent technological advances have also made it easier for people to discretely view pornography.
For example, whereas previously keeping a computer in the common areas of a family home could help parents monitor their children’s internet use, now that smartphones have become a daily necessity, it’s harder to determine what each family member is subjecting themselves to online.
For young people, specifically, pornography use may play a role in warping their expectations of what a healthy sexual relationship looks like.
Even adults who frequently view pornography have sometimes described sexual dysfunction and addiction as a result of repeated exposure to pornographic materials. This may pose an even higher risk to younger viewers, whose brains are still developing.
Those who do go on to develop a pornography addiction may find it very difficult to control their use when they’re only a “click” or a “tap” away from more pornographic content.
For this reason, some people can benefit from a complete technological cleanse. Inpatient addiction recovery facilities, like Desert Solace in Dammeron Valley, Utah, allow clients to get away from technology and life stressors to connect with other people and nature and work towards recovery.
Desert Solace officials say that they consider connection to others, and to oneself, to be the “opposite of addiction,” and they stress community ties when helping clients work through behavioral and substance addictions.
The majority of time spent at Desert Solace is technology-free, with clients receiving support via individual, group and nature therapy including working with therapy horses. Family members also receive counseling via phone sessions to help them understand what their loved one is going through.
By addressing the emotions at the root of addiction, clients at Desert Solace are given skills to return to using technology with the tools to resist seeking out pornography. In this very digital world where pornography is readily available, inpatient treatments like those at Desert Solace are one way to break the cycle of pornography addiction.
Desert Solace is an inpatient addiction treatment center in St. George, Utah. Desert Solace specializes in the treatment of pornography and sex addictions. Additionally, they offer treatment programs for gaming, gambling and substance abuse. Their inpatient facility for porn, sex, gaming, gambling and substance addictions features professional, licensed counselors, a top-rated chef, equine therapy and more. Desert Solace believes in involving the clients family in the recovery process.

A nice supplement to the education and therapy that Desert Solace offers is the book Power Over Pornography. The book’s use of mindfulness and acceptance and commitment therapy works well and is easier than alternatives to follow. I recommend it.
