The Lucy Faithfull Foundation reports a concerning trend among British adults regarding pornography consumption, finding that over 40% of adults engage in watching porn. Among these, a significant fraction noted an increase in frequency and intensity of content, raising alarms about desensitization and its potential link to viewing illegal materials. A startling testimony from a man reveals how his mainstream porn addiction escalated into child sexual abuse material, resulting in serious legal ramifications. The charity has seen a surge in individuals seeking help, underscoring the dire situation surrounding online sexual behaviours.
More than a quarter of those surveyed say their consumption of pornography has become more frequent, with one in five admitting their content has grown more extreme or aggressive.
A married man in his 30s recounted how his addiction to mainstream porn escalated into the viewing of child sexual abuse images, resulting in him being placed on the sex offenders register.
In 2024, over 275,000 Brits sought support from the Lucy Faithfull Foundation due to concerns about online sexual behaviour towards children, highlighting the growing issue.
Dr. Alexandra Bailey emphasized the grave implications of this desensitization, noting that a significant proportion of individuals may transition towards illegal content as their thresholds for what's acceptable shifts.
