One point that psychiatrists make about addictions like porn addiction is desensitization. The brain balances the feeling of pain and pleasure automatically, so when you have an abundance of pleasure over a period of time the brain will adjust itself accordingly. This leads to the addict having to pursue newer highs to feel the same pleasure as before. In the case of porn addiction, this could be newer kinks or more extreme scenarios. Many men have unfortunately suffered from erectile dysfunction and worsened relationships with real women due to porn use. This is an established problem.
It is more fulfilling and productive to direct one’s sexual urges to a real person than a phantom. This keeps one’s self more aligned with what’s real and has good chances of establishing real and productive relationships between people. You cannot establish anything real with a phantom. You cannot have children with it, you cannot have sex with it, you cannot have mutual love with it.
There is much more to be said. All I request from you is to have some humility when approaching this issue.
You said in one of your other posts that every person who thinks that porn is bad is bad. So you think that I’m a bad person. It makes sense why you are not being very charitable.
Any psychiatrist who claims to diagnose porn addiction is engaging in malpractice.
Porn addiction is not real according to sexual scientists.
Only substance abuse and gambling addiction have made it into DSM. But it is still widely understood that porn addiction is very much real. This is not denied, and is being treated, which is not something you are in a position to call malpractice. It is only a matter of time before porn addiction ends up in DSM as well, because it is a real wide-spread type of addiction.
The problem is religion and fake morality creating conflicts in people’s minds because they don’t realize that masturbation is fine and healthy.
This is not the issue, many people who suffer from porn addiction aren’t even religious. The problem is what I described in my earlier comment, which applies to addictions in general, not just porn addiction.
The problem is religion, not porn.
Period.
None of what you said is scientifically accurate.
Porn addiction is a religious issue because religion has fucked people’s heads.
Why are you being so emotional? Go and visit the source that I gave you, they reference scientific articles. They are arguing from an empirical standpoint, not a religious one. Go and visit NoFap Forum or other similar communities and read people’s anecdotes about what they are suffering through. Are you going to dismiss all these people as just being fucked in the head because of religion? Grow up.
It is common knowledge that porn is unhealthy.

The only thing people with so called porn addiction share in common is a religion that teaches sex is immoral.
