"I became addicted to porn at the age of 10 and it almost ruined my life": revelations of a young British woman

Unfortunately, adult videos are also easily accessible to children. Courtney Daniella Boateng started watching porn when she was in elementary school. Regular viewing of "strawberries" led her to attempt suicide and hate her own body. Now a 23-year-old British woman tells how addiction consumed her until she coped with it four years ago.For the first time the girl saw oral sex between a man and a woman on the screen when she was only 10 years old. She knew she shouldn't be watching this, but she couldn't stop. Daniella has always been an inquisitive child and constantly asked questions on various topics - from science to the animal world. When her parents were at work or busy with other things, the girl searched for answers on the Internet.

What she saw on the screen shocked Daniella, but the girl wanted to watch more and more. Porn videos attracted her so much that the schoolgirl visited Pornhub several times a month and looked through different categories of "strawberries". Soon the addiction intensified, and the girl could not live even a few days without porn.

To hide her tracks from her parents, Daniella deleted her search history, put her briefcase under the door to block the way if someone tried to enter her room while watching. She didn't even tell her friends about her hobby.

In 2013, Daniella's attitude to porn changed. The Briton then turned 15 years old. The difficult transition period and the end of high school led to additional stress. The girl began to masturbate while watching adult videos, and thus relaxed. An orgasm brought her a sense of relief for a few minutes, but then she wanted a new dose again.

Daniella masturbated while watching porn two or three times a week. When friends admitted that they also sometimes watch videos of "strawberries", the girl felt relieved, but did not tell how strong her addiction was.

Doctors saved Daniella, but the saddened mother asked why her daughter wanted to die. The girl was too shy to tell her about his passion for porn, but it was one of the main factors. The British woman became addicted to orgasms, using them to relieve anxiety attacks, but at the same time, sexual pleasure caused a new desire.

The latest proof of the destructive influence of porn was Daniella's relationship with her ex-boyfriend in 2015. The girl turned 18 when she had sex for the first time. Unfortunately, her expectations that everything would be like on the screen were not fulfilled. There was no passion, no great pleasure. Five months later, they broke up on the initiative of Daniella: she was not satisfied with their intimate life, although she did not tell the guy about it.

In March 2016, the girl decided to stop watching porn and masturbate. To cope with the growing anxiety, she started doing yoga, sports, keeping a diary, walking with friends and going to church. The British woman waited patiently, setting herself up for the fact that it would not be easy to change her life.

Daniella didn't tell anyone about her problem until April 2020. In the spring, she recorded a video confession and uploaded it to YouTube. For the first time, the girl honestly told about how she tried to overcome anxiety with the help of porn. The video was viewed by more than 800,000 people, she was left hundreds of comments with words of support. Many shared their own stories of struggling with the same addiction. Relatives and friends also supported the Briton and highly appreciated that she found the strength to highlight this topic.

The girl began to learn more about the problems in the porn industry. She was aware that this would limit her attraction. Information about the exploitation of porn actresses shocked Daniella. She no longer wanted to take an indirect part in this.

And another British woman, Hannah Shevan Stevens, regular orgasms, on the contrary, made life easier. They relieve her of chronic pain, from which the girl has been suffering for many years.
