    Christians have a tendency to pathologise anything that makes people happy, but that does not mean people can’t take things that are safe in moderation too far. Most people drink alcohol responsibly. Some people don’t and alcohol addiction is very much a thing

      No he’s literally right. Every bit of study on the topic has with out expectation that arnt religiously motivated or supported agree. That porn addiction isn’t a real thing.

      Its just literally not a real thing.

      The closest thing you can get to is coping with depression or other mental illness with porn. Functionally turning sexual gratification into a form of self medication. But at that point it’s no different then any other form of self medication.

      But it’s not an addiction, the word addiction has very specific medical definition which it doesn’t fit into, and even using a loser colloquial definition you would have to stretch it so hard that it becomes nonsense to make the argument.
