Porn Addiction Therapy in Alaska

Pornography is legal for sale, distribution, and viewing in Alaska. In April, 2024, the Alaska House of Representatives voted in bipartisan support for House Bill 254, requiring online pornography providers to check whether an Alaskan viewing that pornography is at least 18 years old. If passed into law users would need to do upload a photo of their state-issued ID to confirm legal age. Kindbridge will update this pornography addiction treatment resource to account for new developments.

The world’s leading streaming service for pornography, PornHub, reports that the state ranks 2nd among all 50 U.S. states (including Washington D.C.) for online porn viewership per capita. This comes as little surprise to many considering how isolated Alaska cities, towns, and residential communities are from contiguous states with abundant access to alternative activities, attractions, and outlets.

How many residents struggle with the same concern that you have? Statistics regarding the percentage of people who self-report as being porn addicts (averaging the rates below between both genders) is 7%. Taken on its own, this indicates that more than 38,885 adult residents also fight to maintain a healthy relationship with porn. However, the number is likely even higher. As the last frontier is in a strategic area concerning the Arctic Circle, Asia, and Russia, Alaska has one of the largest military concentrations in the entire United States. Research has linked a higher prevalence of hyper-sexuality disorders to both veterans and active servicepersons. In addition, Alaska has the largest concentration of residents ( nearly 10% ) who meet diagnostic criteria for seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Depressive states associated with SAD are known to cooccur with problem porn use, as sufferers turn to online pornography as an unhealthy coping mechanism. In either case, Alaska residents join the rest of the country in sharing (at-minimum?) the following statistics:

• Median consumption rates of porn are 74.5% among men and 58% among women ( source )
• 9% of porn consumers are unable to stop on their own ( source )
• 11% of American men and 3% of women self-report that they are addicted to pornography ( source )
• More than 30% of surveyed companies have terminated employees for
  inappropriate use of the Internet, including porn consumption ( source )
• 93% of males and 62% of females are exposed to online pornography during their teenage years (source).
