Pornography Addiction Treatment in Mississippi
It keeps happening. At the beginning of each day, you tell yourself that you’re not going to turn on your computer or open up your laptop to consume porn. You mentally commit to enjoying other more healthier and productive activities, such as engaging in outdoor recreation or working on a passion project. Or you perhaps you simply plan to spend time among friends or family instead of the seductive personas on your digital screen. But the latter seems to win out more often than not, and after you’ve consumed sexually explicit content you are left feeling ashamed that you were not able to abstain. There is no need to feel shame.
You see, not only are adult entertainment apps and websites designed to keep you watching and returning for more, there are issues in your life that make quitting very hard to do. For instance, you may experience overwhelming bouts of anxiety and stress throughout the day, and porn seems to provide relief for those negative feelings, at least for a fleeting moment. We also want you to find comfort in the fact that you’re not alone, because what you’re experiencing is being felt by thousands of others throughout the state of Mississippi.

Background of Pornography in Mississippi
Is Porn Legal in Mississippi?
Pornography is legal in Mississippi. However, on July 1, 2023, Senate Bill 2346 became official. Bill 2346 requires that pornographic apps websites have strict age verification processes in place or face a fine from the Attorney General. Satisfactory age verification involves the integration of a pop-up (or landing page) interstitial that asks users to upload identification issued by the state of Mississippi, such as a driver’s license or the new Real ID (as of May, 2025). In protest, the world’s leading online provider of pornographic content – PornHub – along with others (Xvideos, etc) have pulled out of Mississippi. Both Bill 2346 and PornHub’s protest are moot, however, as residents continue to access online sexually explicit content via Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and offshore porn sites that do not fall under U.S. or Government of Mississippi jurisdiction. Simply put, porn consumption is as accessible in MS as it is anywhere else in the United States of America.
