What's contested is if its the porn itself that causes the addiction or the feedback loop and easy access is what leads to compulsive consumption. No mainstream psychological organization is saying that there are no addictive or compulsive behaviors associated with excess porn consuption, just that it doesnt meet the critia as a medically diagnosed addiction and is closer to a compulsion.
For laymen however, referring to it as an addiction is what most accurately encompasses its impact on those who become compulsive consumers of it.

- tanseydavid 5y agoCan you point to any real world instance where someone is "marketing" NOFAP and profiting (or attempting to profit) from it? This assertion seems odd to me. More importantly: you should not assume that just because you do not suffer from porn addiction that others do not suffer from it.
