On this week’s podcast episode we’re turning to the seldom-discussed topic of sex and porn addiction.
Joining Emma-Louise is journalist and author Erica Garza, whose debut memoir ‘Getting Off’ explores her experience of overcoming a sex and porn addiction and the shame that still surrounds it.
“At 30 , at 24, even at 12,” Erica writes at the start of the book, “it was impossible for me to think about sexual pleasure without immediately feeling shame. I felt bad about the type of porn I watched. I felt bad sleeping with people I didn’t like. I felt bad because of the thoughts I feasted on when I was having sex with people I genuinely loved.
"For as far back as I remember this is just the way it was. My sexual habits were sick and shameful. My thoughts were sick and shameful. I was sick and shameful. But nothing would stop me from getting off.”
To shed some expert insight on this less-understood topic (particularly as it concerns women) is Dr Daria Kuss, a Chartered Psychologist, Chartered Scientist and Associate Professor in Psychology at Nottingham Trent University whose work has largely focused on exploring addictive behaviours.
