‘Shocking’ porn statistics

Shocking numbers of children are addicted to online porn and political action must be taken, the charity CARE has warned.

Around 60% of under-18s are addicted to online porn, according to research from Paracelsus Recovery – which also revealed a 150% increase in people being treated for porn addiction between 2019 and 2023.

Louise Davies, director of advocacy and policy at CARE, said: ‘The research illustrates the astonishing scope of porn consumption and addiction in society, including among children … Polling commissioned by CARE found that eight in ten UK adults want age checks on porn sites, and six in ten fear porn is inspiring sexual violence.’
