Are all fetishes addictions?
I think the individual is the one who decides whether they're addicted or not.
As I understand it, true porn addiction is when it interferes with your sex life to the point that you can't enjoy sex without it, when you want to enjoy it without it. Anything else is just a fetish.
I'm tired of watching society try to neatly categorize things as amorphous as sexual behavior. As soon as the "experts" have something to say, people find a reason to stop thinking about it.

- namuol 13y agoRight -- life interfering stuff, in general, but I just think the most prevalent issue is the interference with one's sex life once one becomes "dependent."
- lotharbot 13y agoThere are people for whom "interferes with sex life" is irrelevant (they don't have one) or isn't a symptom they have (sex continues at a normal frequency) -- but who definitely have symptoms in other parts of their life, such as work, other family interactions, or other hobbies.
