These experiences are more common than most people realise. Take our 2 minute test to better understand how porn may be affecting you.
Why willpower isn’t enough
It's not about willpower.
Porn addiction changes how the brain responds to rewards and urges. That’s why stopping can feel much harder than simply deciding to quit.
1
Your brain adapts over time.
Repeated exposure to pornography can reduce your brain’s response to everyday rewards. Over time, the habit becomes harder to resist while everyday life feels less rewarding.
2
Stopping can make urges feel stronger.
When you stop, cravings and intrusive thoughts can temporarily become more intense. This makes it easy to fall back into old patterns, even when you’re committed to change.
3
Treatment helps you regain control.
Clinician-led treatment can help reduce urges, making it easier to pause before acting. Combined with behavioural support, it helps you build healthier habits that last.

FAQs
Your questions answered
Is porn addiction real?
Yes. Clinicians recognise it as a form of compulsive sexual behaviour disorder (CSBD). It affects the same reward pathways as other addictions and can cause real harm to relationships, focus, and overall wellbeing. If you feel you can’t control your use despite wanting to, that’s worth taking seriously.
How do I stop a porn addiction?
Willpower on its own rarely holds, because of how compulsive habits hijack the brain’s reward system. What tends to work is clinician-prescribed treatment that calms the urges, paired with behavioural support that changes the pattern underneath. See how Normal works. Not sure it’s a problem yet? Take our self-assessment.
How does treatment for porn addiction work?
It works on two fronts. Where a clinician decides it’s right for you, prescription treatment calms the urges themselves, so they hit less hard and less often. Alongside that, behavioural support helps you understand what sets you off and handle it differently. The treatment takes the edge off; the support is where the lasting change happens. Everything is prescribed only after a UK clinician reviews your assessment, and only where it’s suitable for you.
How long does it take to recover from porn addiction?
Many Normal members notice urges becoming quieter within 1-3 weeks of starting treatment. More significant changes, improved focus, stronger relationships, typically build over 1-6 months. Everyone responds differently. See the full timeline.
Do I need to quit porn completely?
No. Normal isn’t built around shame, guilt, or strict rules. Treatment is designed to help you regain control and make choices that feel more aligned with your goals, not to impose them on you.
Is treatment confidential?
Yes. Your assessment and treatment are fully confidential. Medication arrives in plain packaging with no indication of the contents. Your GP is not routinely informed without your consent.
How much does treatment cost?
Treatment starts from £149 per month. You’ll always see the full price before completing your order. No commitment required, you can stop at any time.
Who is treatment designed for?
Treatment may be suitable for adults (18+) in the UK who feel their porn use is becoming hard to control, or is affecting areas of life like focus, relationships, confidence, mood or motivation. A clinician decides what’s appropriate in each case.
Do I need to quit porn completely?
No. This isn’t built around shame, guilt, or strict rules. For many people the goal is getting back control and choice rather than total abstinence.
What if I'm not sure my use is a problem?
Many people aren’t, and you don’t need a label to look into it. If you keep doing something you’d rather not, or spend more time on it than you’d like, the free assessment is a private way to see where you stand. There’s no obligation to go any further.
What if I've tried to stop before?
You’re not alone. Most people come to Normal after trying willpower, blockers, accountability apps, or self-help, often many times, without it lasting. That isn’t you failing. It’s how compulsive patterns work, which is why a combined medical and behavioural approach can help where going it alone hasn’t.
What happens if I'm not approved?
Every assessment is reviewed by a UK-registered clinician. If treatment isn’t right or safe for you, nothing is prescribed and you aren’t charged for treatment. They may point you towards other support that fits your situation better.
What is naltrexone?
Naltrexone is a prescription medication that has been used in addiction treatment for many years, and may help reduce the intensity of compulsive urges. For compulsive sexual behaviour it’s used off-label where a clinician judges it appropriate. At Normal it’s only ever prescribed by a UK-registered clinician, after an assessment, as part of a broader plan.
How does it work?
Naltrexone acts on some of the brain’s reward and reinforcement signalling. The idea is that, over time, urges may feel less intense and easier to step back from. It doesn’t ‘cure’ anything on its own. It’s meant to make the behavioural side of change more achievable.
How long does it take to see results?
It varies a lot from person to person, and there’s no guaranteed timeline. Some people notice changes within a few weeks; for others it takes longer, or works best alongside our behavioural programme. Your clinician will talk through what’s realistic for you.
Are there any side effects?
As with any medication, side effects are possible. They can include nausea, headache, tiredness or dizziness, and are often mild and temporary, especially when starting out. Your clinician reviews your health, history and any risks before anything is prescribed, and you should always read the patient information leaflet.
Is naltrexone addictive?
No. Naltrexone is not considered addictive and does not cause dependence.
Will this affect my sex drive or erections?
It isn’t intended to reduce your sex drive. The goal is to ease compulsive urges while supporting a healthier relationship with sex and intimacy. That said, some people do notice changes in libido or arousal, so raise it in your assessment. It’s exactly the kind of thing your clinician will take into account.
Is naltrexone safe?
Naltrexone has a long track record and is generally considered well-tolerated when prescribed and monitored appropriately. It isn’t suitable for everyone, and shouldn’t be taken alongside certain medications or conditions, which is why a clinician reviews your health and history first. Every assessment is reviewed individually to check it’s suitable for you.
Why does Normal use naltrexone?
It has been used for many years in addiction medicine, and studied across a range of compulsive and reward-driven behaviours. There’s growing, though still early, clinical interest in using it to help reduce the pull of compulsive urges, within a control-focused, harm-reduction approach rather than shame.
While it isn’t specifically licensed in the UK for compulsive porn use, clinicians may prescribe it when they believe it is an appropriate treatment option for an individual patient.
How does the online support work?
Alongside the medical side, you get Norm, our support app, there whenever you need it, day or night. Norm draws on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to help you understand the triggers behind your porn use, gives you practical tools to ride out an urge in the moment, and tracks your progress over time. When you want a human, you can reach our team through secure messaging. The medical side helps take the edge off the urges; the support is where the lasting change happens.
Is Normal legitimate?
Yes. Normal is a private UK healthcare service. Every prescription is reviewed by a UK-registered clinician and dispensed through regulated UK pharmacy partners.
Is treatment prescribed by licensed clinicians?
Always. Only UK-registered clinicians can assess you and prescribe, and medication is only ever sent when a clinician decides it’s safe and appropriate for you.
Is this confidential?
Your information is encrypted, handled under UK data-protection law, and never sold. What you share stays between you and your clinical team.
How discreet is delivery?
Any medication arrives in plain, unbranded packaging, with nothing on the outside indicating what’s inside or who it’s from.
Will my GP be informed?
Only with your consent. Sharing with your GP can be good for your overall care, but it’s your choice, and we’ll discuss it with you rather than go behind your back. In rare situations involving a serious risk to safety, a clinician may have a professional or legal obligation to share, and they can explain how that works.
When does Normal launch?
Normal launches in September 2026. Until then, take the 2 minute test to see where you stand and join the waitlist. We’ll email you the moment your place opens.
How does the assessment work?
You answer a short, private online assessment about your health, your symptoms and your goals. A UK-registered clinician reviews your responses and decides whether treatment is appropriate, including whether it’s right for you at all.
What happens after I'm approved?
If treatment is suitable, your plan and any prescribed medication are arranged and delivered discreetly to your door. You also get access to Norm, our ongoing support app, plus secure messaging with your clinical team.
What's included in my plan?
Typically your clinical assessment and reviews, any prescribed medication, medication delivery, and ongoing support through Norm, our support app. The exact details depend on what’s right for you, and everything is managed online from start to finish.
How much does it cost?
The assessment is free. You only pay if a clinician approves treatment and you choose to go ahead, from £149 a month. You’ll always see the full price before you complete your order.
