The number of people seeking treatment for porn addiction has trebled since the pandemic, according to new figures. More than 36,000 people sought support for porn addiction with UK Addiction Treatment Group (UKAT) - Britain's biggest private rehab provider - in 2021.
This is up from around 10,500 in 2020 - a rise of nearly 250 per cent. The proportion of women seeking treatment rose from 25 per cent to 38 per cent during the period.
Major cities like London, Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol and Leeds had the highest figures in the country. But nearly all areas covered in the UKAT data saw their numbers at least double - and the company can no longer meet demand.
