… is not real.
I am sick of neo-puritans, feminists and Christian moms throwing 'porn addiction' accusations around with impunity on platforms like X.
A functional addiction requires some form of significant behavioral or physical impairment, e.g.
[Behavioral]
>You skip your homework every day because you want to watch more porn.
[Physical]
>You keep drinking alcohol despite your doctor telling you that you need to start abstaining or else your liver will shut down completely.
Watching porn every day is not an addiction.
Watching porn to cope with your shitty life is not an addiction.
Watching 'harder' porn and getting desensitized does not mean you have an addiction.
Porn is one of those things that are harder to get "addicted to", anyway, because it comes with a refractory period that kills your interest.
