Course Description

A man having a realization about pornography abstinence. Group of people in white sweatshirts holding phones. All staring at their phones except the man in the center staring at the camera.

Often, in the treatment of Compulsive Sexual Behavior, clients are advised to engage in an abstinence period from pornography or all sexual activity. Despite a lack of data to support the assertion, this is often seen as an opportunity to “reset” the dopamine pathways.

This study, using a randomized controlled design, sought to assess the effects of a 7-day period of abstinence from pornography use in people who both did and did not have high levels of problematic pornography use.

The study reports findings on the effects of this sexual and pornography abstinence period on craving, affect and withdrawal symptoms.

This is an accredited course designed for Licensed Professional Counselors to earn Continuing Education Hours, or LPC CEHs
