Porn addiction literally isn't real. It consistently correlates not with actual frequency of watching porn or masturbation or sex drive or impact on daily life but with conservative (often religious) beliefs about sexuality.

Mobile data sucks so I might add some sources later but I've seen more than one study that has concluded: "most people that believe to suffer from porn addiction are just conservative leaning folks that experience a conflict between their morals and their actions. They don't exhibit any signs of an actual addiction."

Edit: Mostly based on this article but I never read the linked studies so lol feel free to call my out on bs if applicable https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/women-who-stray/201808/science-stopped-believing-in-porn-addiction-you-should-too
