Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Pornography and masturbation are forms of sexual activity that may have adverse effects on individuals suffering from addiction, leading to reduced self-esteem, particularly among devout religious adherents, due to perceived sinful behavior. This study is a single case report that aims to evaluate the efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy in addressing pornography and masturbation addiction. The assessment was conducted using interviews and psychological testing, whilst the intervention comprised six sessions, with each session lasting 90-150 minutes. The results of the intervention reported an alteration in mindset regarding masturbation, as well as a decrease in the frequency of pornography consumption.
