‘There is always another picture or site available’

“PORNOGRAPHY is the crack cocaine of sex addiction.”

This is the view of Eoin Stephens, director of education and training at PCI College and the Centre for Sexual Addiction (CSA) in Dublin.

When the centre was established nine years ago pornography was well down on the list of concerns. Mr Stephens said the availability, affordability and anonymity of internet pornography has prompted its meteoric rise above all else on therapists’ problem sheets.
