Is there a porn addiction?

[vox]

I think there are minimal (if any) moralists on this forum who oppose porn on cultural and ethical grounds. It is interesting only from a psychological and physiological point of view - is it true that there is such a thing as porn addiction?
If there is, then where is the line when we can say that a particular person has an addiction or not?

[Sufia]

This is a question for Marina)) I think she will soon enlighten us on this topic))

[RazVratnik]

What is addiction?) If you look at it subjectively, then people with increased libido who relieve "tension" with the help of porn can be called addicted)
Well, objectively, all people are addicted to something, but this is not a reason to label...

[niqk]

Of course there is porn addiction! Everyone has! Since the instinct of reproduction is the basic instinct! The only question is
what kind of porn a person has a penchant for...

[vox]

niqk, what everyone has is no longer dependence, but the norm.

RazVratnik, I don’t want to put labels on it. But I don’t know any other term to express the essence of the issue.
Sometimes I noticed that I go to porn as if out of habit, despite the fact that my libido doesn’t call me there, just to distract myself from some problems. And sometimes the libido calls and then the road goes there by itself, but I’m more worried about the first option, when the desire to be distracted

Well, who is distracted from problems with something) some watch TV series, some watch streams, some watch funny videos, but you watch porn

[Satna666]

We are all addicted to this forum, well, most of us))

[Ogest]

I watch porn all day long and there is no addiction. It’s all a lie.

[niqk]

vox, you’re right - this is the norm! And in the same way, we all depend on food and drink, and much more. And this is the norm!

[vox]

Apparently, you don’t have to worry about porn addiction if not all your thoughts are occupied with porn and it’s not a problem to go without porn for several days

[RazVratnik]

Yes , don’t worry)

Porn should help us in certain situations - and that’s all! Then we do other things...

[The passage]

If there is an obsessive desire to watch porn, then there is an addiction.

[Beautiful]

It is human nature to seek out doping. Porn is a dope for sex in my opinion.

[niqk]

If there is an obsessive desire to watch porn, then there is an addiction.

If there is an obsessive desire to eat well...

[Bully Carrie]

Dependence can be on anything. If you can’t, then it’s addiction. If it interferes with work, business and relationships, distracts you, but you still watch, then it’s addiction.
And if it’s just built into your usual rhythm of life and doesn’t interfere with anything, then everything is fine.

[Bully Carrie]

If there is an obsessive desire to eat well...

....is this an addiction? ) This is different!
This is the norm of life.

[niqk]

Hooligan Carrie, damn it! Immediately - this is different!..

[Bully Carrie]

niqk,

[The passage]

If there is an obsessive desire to watch porn, then there is an addiction.

If there is an obsessive desire to eat well...

If that was sarcasm, then now I’ll disappoint you. Food addiction also exists.

[niqk]

Marinka, yes, from all sorts of burgers, cola and various sweets...

[vox]

Sometimes it starts to interfere - I need to sleep, but I see, I don’t get enough sleep, then I regret it. Then I get disappointed in this and stop watching porn, it seems to be fine without it. Then there is a feeling of some kind of emptiness, you want this dope.

It’s just a habit. But it can become an addiction if you don’t do other things...

[vox]

As far as I can imagine, psychological dependence on any thing occurs when the body notices that the main pleasure comes from this one thing and begins to use it more and more to obtain pleasure, which results in less activity for obtaining pleasure from other things in life.
Therefore, a variety of enjoyable activities reduces the risk of addiction to any one thing, be it porn, food or the like

[Center]

Of course, there is porn addiction and globalists actively take advantage of it.

[Samara]

I wouldn’t call it an addiction, for me it’s more of a “pattern of behavior,” like, for example, taking a shower every morning....

[Alexb]

Probably there is - when you realize that you have started saying hello to the actors.
