Honestly I don't want to detract from the original intent of this thread but thank you for your thorough explanation. in no way am I saying that this particular problem of porn addiction does not exist, but as everything I come from the attitude that many many things like addictions, MI, PDs and such are abused as terms and descriptions of things. While most things like addictions to various things are based on legitimate cases, many times the abuse comes from the misuse of descriptions of different problems people have. I tend to be ever vigilant against generalizations about most things and you know you've come across that with me in past posts :P get used to it (jk jk) it's just how I am though.

I speak from experience myself. Life experience, being a male, I have male friends and many of which partake of the forbidden fruit yet at the same time, they are quite capable and willing to be sexually active with their partners. but I will admittedly say that none of them also are diagnosed with an addiction to It either.

Again my statements were against the idea that porn itself automatically affects people in the manner you originally stated, not that it can't affect anyone that way.
