    “Porn addiction,” like “sex addiction,” isn’t recognized by the DSM-5, which classifies mental disorders. While porn-viewing can be compulsive, like other behaviors, research suggests that perceived porn addiction predicted distress over actual porn use itself. Yet, the idea of “porn addiction” persists in the U.S., which lacks comprehensive sex education requirements in many states; only 37 percent of states require sex education to be medically accurate, according to Boston University.

    What a perfect example of how sexuality is suppressed, controlled, then monetized in the US, and the harm it causes.

    Get ready for age verification data breaches like this, except on a worldwide scale.

      What a perfect example of how sexuality is suppressed, controlled

      You reminded me of a post I saw in r/catholicism. OP wanted to stop masturbating, but wasn’t able to overcome the urge and felt very bad about it, knowing it was wrong, and was asking advice. All the comments were in the line of “Just trust and submit to Jesus and he’ll help you”.

      WTF… I felt bad for OP and other people in a situation like that.

        The subtext there is basically that if you’re still not able to shake the habit, you haven’t trusted or prayed enough, and that’s why Jesus isn’t helping.

          But that’s my point, everything feels so restrictive. Why is doing something harmless that you want and enjoy doing seen in such a negative way.

        It’s like people who reply “rtfm”, except these people actually think they are helping, while the rtfm replier just thinks the question asker isn’t worthy of their knowledge (or wants to hide that they don’t know while maintaining their “I am wise” persona).
