Porn is absolutely problematic but there's a difference to it distorting societal views and expectations around sex and whether or not it's addictive. Porn gets an interestingly unique bad rep. These are fantastic points to bring up to help center ones understanding of addiction medicine and porn's effects on society. Thank you for sharing the links.
Porn absolutely does get a bad rep, but I also do think we can't pretend that it's not harmful.
Honestly I have no difficulty believing that it has potential to become a pretty severe addiction for some.
