How can a man be addicted to porn but claim it’s not about sex?

1. My partner just told me the same thing last night. He is not addicted though, but our perspectives are different

2. Because he is lying to you

3. Is it a problem when your gf told you to watch it?

4. Claim what isn’t about sex? The addiction?

   Non substance abuse disorder, right from the dsm5
   non-substance addiction includes things such as gambling, risky sex, food, the internet, mobile devices, and shopping. These are sometimes called behavioral addictions and the behavior itself doesn’t dictate the addiction. When a person engages in these behaviors in excess and can’t stop, it becomes an addiction

5. You should talk to a psychologist or therapist about it

6. The everything is a disease schtick lets undisciplined people claim that their failings aren’t about them. Hence this is an addiction and he’s powerless. It’s silly.

   Dude likes porn and would rather malinger with this fake addiction than stop watching it.

7. Wtf going on over here 😂😂

8. cause its a habbit and it can be the addiction aspect of it what makes it hard to queit not its effect on a person

9. This might not be the case depending on what exactly he’s watching, but sometimes nudity is just funny. I mean, they put it in children’s cartoons, obviously censored, but the characters are still naked.

10. An alcoholic isn’t drinking for the taste of liquor…maybe that’s how it started…but not why it continues

11. I’m not an expert, but addiction is never about sex (except sex addiction) because the root causes will prevent one from having a good sex life too as it prevents one from having good social relations at all.

12. If he’s watching Funny porn

13. It’s depression. He is seeking the dopamine rush. Or he is completely full of BS.

14. Details?

15. Because an addiction to porn and an addiction to sex are two different things.

16. Same way gambling isn’t about poker, porn addiction is definitely not about “sex” in the physical sense but rather the dopamine rush.

17. It’s for releasing the poison from your balls. And possibly for post nut clarity

18. Porn is fantasy for masturbation. That’s different than sex with a real person.

19. Porn is not really an addiction. It is a habit. It has been rebranded to attract business for therapists.

    Stop watching it. You won’t go through any withdrawals.

20. When he knows the plot of the video.

21. I would imagine it’s probably about if he’s diagnosed hyperspermia or not. That’s a legit thing. Otherwise it could be. -Still a serious issue.
