Hi everyone,
Thanks to everyone who has already responded to me, I really have appreciated the interest and time that has been shown. I’m still really keen to talk to gay/bi men (over 18) who feel they have a problematic relationship with porn. I’m looking to have a number of 1-2-1 conversations so would really appreciate if you or anyone you can forward this onto can spend up to 60 mins talking to me about your experiences with problematic porn use.
I want to stress this is completely confidential and has been approved by the university psychology ethics committee. Given the sensitive nature of the research you will be assigned a participant number; I do not need any personal identifiable information, e.g. your real name, exact location or date of birth. Your IP address will not be recorded in any way. Additionally, the conversation can happen in a number of ways e.g. video (no camera), phone or ‘chat messenger’, and will be guided by what you are most comfortable with.
I am investigating the experiences of problematic pornography use within gay and bisexual men to understand how this may impact mental health and wellbeing. Whilst there is existing research on this topic more broadly there is very little research into understanding the lived experiences of gay and bisexual men who feel they have an issue with pornography. And as a gay man myself I am committed to readdressing the limited representation of gay experiences in academic research, with the aim of supporting any future potential improvements to therapeutic interventions accessed by gay and bisexual men.
So, if this resonates and you are able to give some of your time or have any questions, please email me on [email protected].
Thanks so much in advance
