Pornography addiction is the scientifically controversial application of an addiction model to the use of pornography . Pornography use may be part of compulsive behavior , with negative consequences to one's physical, mental, social, or financial well-being. While the World Health Organization's ICD-11 (2022) has recognized compulsive sexual behaviour disorder (CSBD) as an "impulsive control disorder". CSBD is not an addiction, and the American Psychiatric Association's DSM-5 (2013) and the DSM-5-TR (2022) do not classify compulsive pornography consumption as a mental disorder or a behavioral addiction .

108-731: A convenience sample . One 2000 study of a convenience sample of 9,265 people found that 1% of Internet users have concerns about their Internet use and 17% of users meet criteria for problematic sexual compulsivity , meaning they score above one standard deviation of the mean on the Kalichman Sexual Compulsivity Scale . A survey of 84 college-age males found that 20–60% of a sample of college-age males who use pornography found it to be problematic. Research on internet addiction disorder indicates rates may range from 1.5 to 8.2% in Europeans and Americans. A 2019 study found that
162-595: A representative sample of Australians researched distress about sex video use. It found that of 10,131 women surveyed, 0.5% of women agreed with the statement that they were "addicted" to pornography; 1.2% (of 4,218 who viewed) when limited to women who say they viewed sex films. The comparable figure limiting to men who view sex films was 4.4%. This was without any clinical screening that should eliminate primary disorders (e.g., depression) or religious-based concerns, so these should be considered high-end estimates for potential disorders, if any exist. Most studies of rates use
216-591: A sexologist working for the Academic Medical Center , it is usually the American religious right which claims the existence of pornography addiction and such claims are rare (scarce) among sexologists. A 2018 meta-analysis showed a correlation between a person being religious and perceiving themself as having a pornography addiction, possibly due to people using pornography despite their religion prohibiting it. According to Addicted to Lust: Pornography in
270-548: A " supernormal stimulus " but use the model of compulsion rather than addiction. Addiction and compulsion are models of mental disorders which cancel each other out, the term "addiction" being deprecated, but ICD-11 does not support the existence of "porn addiction"/"sex addiction". DSM-5-TR, published in March 2022, does not recognize a diagnosis of sexual addiction/compulsion (which would include internet pornography viewing). ICD-11 has added pornography to CSBD. However, this
324-568: A "frontline of protection." Studies of those with non-paraphilic expressions of hypersexuality have hypothesized that various mood disorders, as defined in the DSM, may occur more frequently in sexually compulsive men. Compulsive sexual behavior has been treated with antidepressants including SSRIs and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, Naltrexone (a medication used to inhibit reward mechanisms in opiate or alcohol addictions), other mood-stabilizers, and anti-androgens . A 2017 study using
378-503: A lack of research support for refusing to include other behavioral disorders, such as pornography, at the time. Porn addiction is not a diagnosis in DSM-5 (or any previous version). "Viewing pornography online" is mentioned verbatim in the DSM-5, but it is not considered a mental disorder either. When the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5)

Yet other studies found that critical biomarkers of addiction were missing, and most addiction biomarkers have never been demonstrated for pornography.

Guglielmucci explained his actions as being
540-408: A poor understanding of human sexuality and relationships within this online community. Sociologist Kelsy Burke, author of The Pornography Wars , believes that this misogyny arises from blaming the female-dominated profession of pornography for men's personal problems. The Daily Dot and Der Spiegel linked NoFap to recent gender-based murders and breeding domestic terrorism . Fight
594-786: A potentially effective treatment for problematic internet pornography viewing. Some clinicians and support organizations recommend voluntary use of Internet content-control software , internet monitoring , or both, to manage online pornography use. Sex researcher Alvin Cooper and colleagues suggested several reasons for using filters as a therapeutic measure, including curbing accessibility that facilitates problematic behavior and encouraging clients to develop coping and relapse prevention strategies. Cognitive therapist Mary Anne Layden suggested that filters may be useful in maintaining environmental control. Internet behavior researcher David Delmonico stated that, despite their limitations, filters may serve as

Universally accepted diagnostic criteria do not exist for pornography addiction or problematic pornography viewing. Pornography addiction is often defined operationally by the frequency of pornography viewing and negative consequences. The only diagnostic criteria for a behavioral addiction in the current Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders are for pathological gambling , and they are similar to those for substance abuse and dependence , such as preoccupation with
756-406: A standard of practice for sexuality education delivery, counseling or therapy." The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders ( DSM-5 ) includes a new section for behavioral addictions, but includes only one disorder: pathological gambling . One other behavioral addiction, internet gaming disorder , appears in the conditions proposed for further study in DSM-5. Psychiatrists cited
810-408: A subtype of this disorder. It includes criteria such as time consumed by sexual activity interfering with obligations, repetitive engagement in sexual activity in response to stress, repeated failed attempts to reduce these behaviors, and distress or impairment of life functioning. A study on problematic Internet pornography viewing used the criteria of viewing Internet pornography more than three times

According to the American Society of Addiction Medicine , some psychological and behavioral changes characteristic of addiction brain changes include addictive cravings, impulsiveness, weakened executive function , desensitization, and dysphoria. BOLD fMRI results have shown that individuals diagnosed with compulsive sexual behavior (CSB) show enhanced cue reactivity in brain regions associated traditionally with drug-cue reactivity. These regions include
918-604: Is a "public health crisis". The American Psychiatric Association had by then already dismissed such moral panic ("political stunt") in DSM-5 (published in 2013), and DSM-5-TR, published in March 2022, does not recognize a diagnosis of sexual addiction (which would include internet pornography viewing). Emily F. Rothman, Professor of Community Health Sciences at the Boston University School of Public Health , stated in 2021 that "the professional public health community

In 2013, American actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt wrote, directed, and starred in the comedy-drama film Don Jon , in which the protagonist is addicted to pornography. In an interview to promote the film, Gordon-Levitt discussed what he referred to as the "fundamental difference between a human being and an image on a screen". In 2014, American actor Terry Crews talked about his long-standing pornography addiction, which he said had seriously affected his marriage and life and which he
1134-466: Is categorized as an impulse control disorder, not an addictive disorder. It has been argued that the CSBD diagnosis is not based upon sex research. Neither DSM-5, nor DSM-5-TR, nor ICD-10, nor ICD-11 recognize sex addiction or porn addiction as a valid diagnosis. / Rothman has stated "pornography is not yet clearly established as a risk factor for multiple health outcomes". However, pornography addiction

#17329137902871188-502: Is harmful. It is also important to be aware that framing pornography as a public health issue has been used as a rhetorical trick by right-wing groups to promote a conservative social agenda at odds with public health goals. Public health professionals should sponsor rigorous research on the possible negative effects of pornography on society and individuals, counter misinformation, and use evidence to move forward with policy decisions. In many cases, sexual addiction therapy applied to gay men
1242-415: Is how these client experiences are conceptualised and how the clinical formulation informs treatment." The status of pornography addiction as an addictive disorder, rather than simply a compulsivity , has been hotly contested. Furthermore, research suggests that the use of a pornography addiction label may indicate a socially (as opposed to clinically) driven nosology. It is worth considering whether
1296-535: Is not an endorsement of the concept of pornography addiction. ICD also specifically excludes anyone from this diagnosis whose distress is due to moral conflict alone, yet moral incongruence is the strongest predictor of believing one is addicted to porn. Note that two studies now contradict this, finding that narcissism, especially antagonist narcissism, predicts identification as a pornography addict. Introductory psychology textbook authors Coon, Mitterer and Martini, passingly mentioning NoFap , speak of pornography as
1350-569: Is not behind the recent push to declare pornography a public health crisis". The ideas supporting the "crisis" have been described as pseudoscientific. Sexual violence, partner violence, anxiety, depression, compulsive pornography use, and commercial sexual exploitation are public health problems, and there is a possibility that pornography exacerbates these problems. Given that possibility, we need to know more about whether, how, and why pornography influences social norms as well as individuals’ behavior, and what we can do to address that influence if it
1404-504: Is not presently considered a diagnosable condition according to the DSM. Alternatives to the DSM, such as the ICD-11, also have not subscribed to the addiction model for pornography, though they recognize that people may become compulsive about its use. A 2022 book by McKee, Litsou, Byron, and Ingham casts serious doubts upon the model of "porn addiction", suggesting that sexual shame should be blamed, instead of pornography. They note that much of

The repeated cross-sectional surveys did not find any consistent associations across years between poor mental health and ever having watched pornography or the frequency of watching pornography.

Men without CSB who had a long history of viewing pornography exhibited a less intense response to pornographic images in the left ventral putamen , possibly suggestive of desensitization. ASAMs position is inconsistent with the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors, and Therapists, who cite lack of strong evidence for such classification, describing ASAM as not informed by "accurate human sexuality knowledge".

1944-515: The apparent epidemic of self-diagnosed pornography addicts seeking help today perhaps represents the ready uptake of a relatively new way to describe one's problematic behaviour, and not the development of a modern disease entity whose description should dictate its treatment. In November 2016, the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT) issued a position statement on sex/porn addiction which states that AASECT "does not find sufficient empirical evidence to support
1998-931: The average frequency of use for those self-describing as addicted to porn was about ten times per year. The study found this identification correlated with male gender, higher frequency of use, and belief that pornography was morally wrong (whether for religious or other reasons). A review paper about pornography consumption notes that sex addiction is correlated with narcissism . Several support groups exist for people who wish to quit pornography use and/or believe themselves to be addicted to pornography. Twelve-step programs such as Sex Addicts Anonymous (SAA), Sexaholics Anonymous (SA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA), Sexual Recovery Anonymous (SRA), and Sexual Compulsives Anonymous (SCA) are fellowships of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other so they may overcome their common problem and help others recover from addiction or dependency by using

The overwhelming majority of all websites and YouTube channels devoted to anti-masturbation and anti-porn addiction propaganda, channels and websites supporting NoFap included, are, according to various sources, owned by far-right Christian fundamentalists and conservative biblical inerrantists , and also are entirely political in nature. Various psychologists , medical doctors , and social scientists have contended that traditional Christian concerns over combating sexual thoughts, desires, and activities, including masturbation, can be seen as unhealthy and unwholesome. This may also apply to secular advocacy of anti-pornography and anti-masturbation, including 16 U.S. states ' legislatures which have declared that pornography

2268-465: The fact that pornography is being spuriously indicted as a public health crisis in the United States and elsewhere, with problematic Internet and online pornography use reported to constitute an increasing burden on public mental health since the 2000s, psychopathological models and diagnostic criteria have lacked consensus, and the body of evidence on the effectiveness of therapeutic approaches

Some researchers support the idea that pornography addiction qualifies as a form of behavioral addiction into the umbrella construct of hypersexual behavior and/or a subset of compulsive sexual behavior (CSB), and should be treated as such, whereas others have detected the increased activation of ventral striatal reactivity in men for cues predicting erotic but not monetary rewards and cues signaling erotic pictures, therefore suggesting similarities between pornography addiction and conventional addiction disorders .

Pornography addiction is a controversial concept, since it appears to be "largely morally, ideologically, and politically motivated." Although it is a "nice theory", empirical support for it is largely missing, and the "industry of porn/sex addiction is based on conservative moral values around sexuality that intrude into clinical practice".
