What is it porn addiction?
Porn has been around for a very long time and its been controversial as well.
Some people are offended by it, some take part of it, others use it on a regular basis (myself) and some become "addicted" to it. It all comes down to personal preferences, choice, category or kink.
It’s important that you know that “porn addiction” isn’t an official diagnosis recognized by the American Psychiatric Association (APA). But not being able to control the impulse to see porn can be a problem.
The American Psychiatric Association states that "Addiction is a complex condition, a brain disease that is manifested by compulsive substance use despite harmful consequence. People with addiction (severe substance use disorder) have an intense focus on using a certain substance(s), such as alcohol or drugs, to the point that it takes over their life."
Is it really an addiction?
People may struggle to talk about this, its hard to know if people are enjoying porn on a regular basis, or cannot live their regular life without seeing it.
