Former Strictly Come Dancing winner Ore Oduba has admitted to a pornography addiction that started when he was just 9. He revealed his addiction to Paul C. Brunson’s We Need To Talk podcast.

A clip of the episode was shared on Instagram and the caption reads: “Comment or DM us ‘ORE’ and we’ll send you the link to the full conversation.@oreodubaofficial won Strictly Come Dancing with a smile that lit up the nation. When the camera was off, he faced hidden struggles and searched for his true self.

In the clip, Ore says: “I was 9 when I was introduced to pornography, that’s when my addiction started.” He shared that he is getting professional help for his addiction and also told Paul C. Brunson that “When we hear that 60% of children are finding it accidentally, that is cropping up on iPads, that societally it's just so normal. If we leave it, what's going to happen is these children start self educating.”

I’m used to hearing stories from gay people who discover conversion therapies and come out with statements not all that different. I’d like to know what his 'porn addiction' consisted of, because it wouldn’t be surprising if it turned out that, in the end, it was nothing more than puberty.

Also, I’d like to point out that for something to be considered an addiction, it has to actually cause problems. I mean, for it to be a problem, masturbation isn’t enough on its own—you don’t become addicted just by masturbating six times a day. It becomes a problem if you do it at work or school, on public transport, etc… basically, if you’re in a situation where you can no longer manage time or place. At that point, it’s a problem, and that problem can be identified as masturbation.

But if you can manage it, then it’s not an addiction.
