‘We’re really squeamish about all that stuff.’ As experts warn of a surge in sex addiction since lockdown, Ciara Kelly asks if Irish people are still too scared to talk about the darker side of sex. BKNT
presenter Ciara Kelly who was speaking after a Cork sex therapist warned that his clinic has seen a 400%Sex and Love Therapy founder Donal Clifford said he has gone from hosting one sex addiction session a week to five in the space of two years.He is warning that pornography addiction is playing a part and is urging anyone who thinks they are addicted to sex to reach out for help.
“So maybe we do have that in us and whether that is nature or nurture I don’t know but I’m not surprised that sex addiction, which is another one of those addictive compulsive behaviours where you are looking for a dopamine hit all the time, is there.”She said Ireland has come a long way since sex was a taboo subject – but people are still afraid to talk about the more problematic side of things.
“I imagine that sex addiction is not something you talk to your mates about in the pub and I think that creates a problem because, if you can’t talk about it, it’s very difficult to deal with it.”Shane agreed that Irish people tend to lean into these things – but insisted Irish people talk about sex everywhere.
