Is porn addiction real??

In my research that I've been doing of subjects related to NoFap I came across a sort of on going debate of weather, porn addiction is real or not.

On one side you got people like us who have/are addicted and tell our side of it being dependent and obsessive

On the other side is showing that there is a lack of evidence to show that it isn't exactly an addiction.

What do you guys think about this?

 

I read through some of these just briefly and there is a part where they say that it affects the reward system in your brain and in my opinion that is where one of the main problems come from in porn addiction. It's the same as how drugs can be addictive but just because it's something viewed instead of putting something in your body it doesn't make it an addiction? This whole thing is very complicated

 

excuses are like a bottom , we all have them.

 

Holy shit man. I hope you get better soon. You have my support

 

Hey man it's hard to tell what's right when you are exposed to many different view points. I'm doing my best to understand all sides. So far I do think porn addiction is real but I'm just asking your opinion.
