"Taylor is a college student who feels more and more that he watches too much pornography and that it really bothers him, especially because he has been getting worse and worse grades. He started watching pornography in his early teens, but his habits have drastically changed over the past year. Night after night, he spends several hours scrolling through porn websites and binge-watching multiple videos without a break."
"His friend, Sam, feels similarly concerned and stressed about his own porn use, but his story is a little different. Sam is also a college student, and his porn-watching habits have changed in the past few months as well. He comes from a conservative and religious family with strong values around sexuality, including the belief that watching porn is immoral and a sin. Sam had a long-term girlfriend until about six months ago, and since their breakup, he has begun watching porn more frequently."
Taylor is a college student whose pornography use has escalated over the past year, causing worsening grades. He began viewing in his early teens and now spends several hours nightly scrolling and binge-watching, repeatedly promising each morning to limit himself but losing control when he opens the first video. Sam is a college student from a conservative, religious family who increased porn use after a breakup and now watches several times a week. Sam experiences intense guilt and shame, finds use interfering with daily life, and has lost confidence in his ability to quit. Charlie's experience is similar to Sam's, but her moral disapproval arises from different family influences.
