Female, 31. Following a 4 year relationship I was single for 8 years, during which time I had nothing more than a few encounters. During this period I used porn to varying degrees. I enjoyed it but I wouldn’t say I was addicted; I mainly used it functionally because it was a quick way to get rid […]
