In one of Chris Rock’s standup shows, he opened up about his own porn addiction, stating that it was desensitizing and that he went into rehab.
[Timecode: 00:00 to 00:43]
Chris Rock: I was addicted to porn. [pause] I know, billion dollar industry – just me, right? [laughter] I was addicted to porn, you know… And, you know, I was 15 minutes late everywhere. I got some witnesses. And when you watch too much porn, you know what happens? Here’s what happens: You become like sexually autistic. You develop like sexual autism. You have a hard time with eye contact and verbal cues.
[Timecode: 00:57 to 01:01]
CR: And what happens to you, you watch to much porn, you get desensitized, you know.
[Timecode: 01:34 to 01:39]
CR: I’m good now, man. I had to go to rehab. Get the porn patch. [laughter]
In other standup acts Chris speaks directly to women in the audience saying that their men have been “watching porno since he was 12 years old.”
