Do you have a problem with pornography? Ask most men that question and, well, they just won’t give you an answer at all. That’s right, it’s 2016, but men are still reluctant to talk about porn seriously – too embarrassed to talk about if the habit is doing us harm. What we need is one man to start the discussion which is why people like Russell Brand talking about it is so important.

Five top reasons to stop

1. Feel happier

You’ll take fewer sick days and be less likely to experience a bout of depression compared with men who still watch a lot of porn. (Source: University of Wisconsin)

4. Healthier swimmers
