Global trends are becoming evident regarding the proliferation of pornography use among adolescents worldwide, along with the resulting attitudes, beliefs, and behaviours. This literature review examines a body of research related to adolescence and pornography that reveals a spectrum of use ranging from normative to problematic sexual compulsivity/addiction. Between the two ends of the spectrum emerge a vast array of psychosocial impacts and co-morbidities. Through identifying gaps in the literature and comparability with other addiction treatments, the review then examines systems of connectedness that already exist within an Aotearoa New Zealand context. As a way forward, relational connectedness is recommended as a theoretical framework to support constructive work with adolescents and addictions.
