[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All men watch some porn. Honestly I thought most women do too. [/quote]

Woman here. I used to, but porn has become way too perverted these days. I know this may sound odd, but I’ve noticed a change in the content, and it’s a turnoff. [/quote]

It’s not odd, it’s real.  And it’s a problem.  Porn is so readily available on smartphones, that men viewing it get used to the soft stuff and need porn that is more and more perverse to have a reaction.  And porn producers are supplying it.   https://amgreatness.com/2019/12/15/a-science-based-case-for-ending-the-porn-epidemic/[/quote]

Interesting article.  I have not read scientific data behind porn addiction and this article is a good review.[/quote]

People may have trouble with pornography, but it's not an "addiction." A 2015 study published in Biological Psychology shows that porn doesn't affect the brain in the same way that addictive substances to, prompting the author to state: "While we do not doubt that some people struggle with their sexual behaviors, these data show that the nature of the problem is unlikely to be addictive.”

Another sex researcher suggested, "In light of such findings, it would seem advisable to drop the “addiction” label when talking about people who are having issues regulating their porn use because it does not appear to be accurate. Ultimately, this terminology change may be helpful to patients with such problems who are seeking help because if treated through the lens of an addiction model, the therapy may not have the desired effect and could potentially be harmful to the extent that it gives patients false hope."
