What Is Porn Addiction?
Pornography addiction is a behavioral addiction characterized by compulsive consumption of pornographic material despite significant negative consequences. Like substance addictions, it involves the same neural reward pathways and produces tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, and loss of control.
The American Society of Addiction Medicine defines addiction as a primary, chronic disease of brain reward, motivation, memory, and related circuitry — a definition that behavioral research now confirms applies to compulsive pornography use.
