“Can porn turn someone into a rapist?” – Dr Louise answers your burning questions

I’m terribly concerned about my 22-year-old son. Two years ago he told me he’d become addicted to porn at the age of 13. It all started with him reading my husband’s Playboy magazines.

I was horrified and furious when I found out. He has since gone for counselling and is still seeing a counsellor but he’s struggling with his addiction.

He has lost two jobs because of it and he cannot find a girlfriend and has no friends. I feel it has affected him so much that he has no life. I’m also afraid that being addicted to porn may lead to him being sexually aggressive and possibly even to rape.
