Porn addiction has affected nearly 1 in 10 Americans, according to recent data from AddictionResource.net.
While 7 percent of all U.S. adults who consume porn who consume porn say they are addicted, the figures differ by gender: approximately 11 percent of men and 3 percent of women self-report an addiction.
Porn addiction is not officially listed as a mental disorder by the World Health Organization (WHO), but it can still dramatically affect the lives of those suffering from it.
Those addicted often report lost time at work or at home and can quickly have the addiction overtake their personal and romantic relationships, even impacting families.
Roughly 7 percent of all U.S. adults who consume porn say they're addicted, according to AddictionResource.net, with the number being higher among men.
However, the country you live in can also play a role.
PornHub's annual statistics revealed the top 10 countries for porn viewing include the United States, the Philippines, France, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, Italy, Canada, and Brazil.
Within the United States, the specific states that had the longest duration of porn viewing were Maryland, Rhode Island, New Jersey, North Carolina and Delaware.
Men are significantly more likely to watch than women, with 69 percent of men and 40 percent of women in America saying they viewed online porn each year.
Young adults aged 18-34 had the highest rates of porn viewing, with 57 percent of young adults ages 18-25 use porn at least once a month. By contrast, only 29 percent of adults aged 25 and above watched porn that frequently.
The data also revealed that children are first exposed to porn between ages 9 and 13, with 93 percent of teen boys and 62 percent of teen girls reporting exposure to internet porn.
Psychosexual therapist Dr. Angela Gregory, from the men's healthcare clinic International Andrology London, previously told Newsweek: "You had a much slower awakening in terms of finding out more about sex and relationships and sexual practices because there wasn't anything available. Now you don't need to go to the living room and wait for the parents to go to bed or wait until you are on your own to access it. Today you have your smartphones and you can be anywhere."
Joshua Grubbs, associate professor in the Department of Psychology at Bowling Green State University previously told Newsweek: "At this point in time, there is no recognized diagnosis of 'pornography addiction,' and there is no evidence that pornography is inherently 'addictive.'"
Those who find themselves watching porn more than they'd like or find that it's affecting their work or personal life can seek help through therapy.
Common signs to look out for in a partner facing this type of addiction include emotional withdrawal, lying, unexplained mood swings, issues at work or in school, financial problems and worsened physical or emotional health.
