Addictions are epigenetic

My dad: watched porn when he was younger (probably still does), never really drank alcohol or smoked cigs (not even socially)
Me: suffering from porn addiction, got drunk and smoked cigs multiple times before yet I rather not do them at all, doesn't feel that good tbh.

"Porn addiction"

Yes?

You may call it an interest (to what degree, I don't know, especially since it's tied to a basic human function), but using the word to denote either a psychological or physiological dependence like you would in the case of substance abuse is misleading at best

if you don't believe in porn addiction then you've simply never had it

Fantastic argument

If you did have an addictive personality type, you wouldn't be here to type out about your "porn issues" (read, I can't get sex), you'd be too busy getting pounded by Tyrone behind bars

Porn addiction has the same characteristics and works through the same neurological pathways, the brain activity of porn addicts during their consumption looks exactly like that of drug addicts when they shoot their substance of choice. As a matter of fact, anything that releases dopamine can be addictive, be it drugs, porn, food, video games or shopping. The fact that porn is linked to a basic human function doesn't make it any less addictive, more like the opposite.

This is the only thing I could find in regards to that

And this includes hook ups and other stuff beyond just simply a "porn addiction" (which isn't recognized as a disorder or anything of sorts)

Brain activity in sex addiction mirrors that of drug addiction

Pornography triggers brain activity in people with compulsive sexual behaviour – known commonly as sex addiction – similar to that triggered by drugs in the

The researchers found that three regions in particular were more active in the brains of the people with compulsive sexual behaviour compared with the healthy volunteers. Significantly, these regions – the ventral striatum, dorsal anterior cingulate and amygdala – were regions that are also particularly activated in drug addicts when shown drug stimuli. The ventral striatum is involved in processing reward and motivation, whilst the dorsal anterior cingulate is implicated in anticipating rewards and drug craving. The amygdala is involved in processing the significance of events and emotions.

I mean, if you whack off ten times a day is it not addiction?

The key word(s) here : compulsive sexual behavior

Incels jacking off to porn cause they can't get sex =/= "porn addiction"

Especially when the guys in question are not addicted to substances (or present other impulsive behavior, ie compulsive stealing or some other shit)

Only for the unhealthy group. The one that's already obsessed with sex and can't keep it in their pants

At this point it's a misnomer, this is one of the many diagnostic criteria for impulse control disorder or more "informal" ones like psychopathy checklist...

If you're one of those individuals that both suffer from it or is predisposed to it and also can't get laid (think MFK), then porn is arguably the better alternative regardless (to rape or forking out $$$ for sex)

I'll also do that if I'm terribly bored with nothing to do. Depends on how busy I am

People who are addicted are addicted. Genius revelation.

That has literally nothing to with it being an addiction.

The DSM 5 does not classify excessive porn consumption as a disorder or addiction. There's no social, physical etc downside to beating your meat to pixels so it doesn't really follow the addiction model, it's fairly intuitive

I can't believe I've spent the last hour looking at these retarded studies just so they can conclude with there is no conclusive evidence and made up "pornographic online porn usage" that's included in the population that's already addicted to sex and has plenty of it. Jfl

Too much yapping
