The researchers found that those who believed they had an addiction to pornography also experienced psychological issues, like depression, anger, and anxiety.
However, this was not a result of watching porn itself, but rather it was a result of the feeling that watching porn was becoming an uncontrollable habit.
“It does not seem to be the pornography itself that is causing folks problems, it is how they feel about it,” said lead study author Joshua Grubbs.
“Perceived addiction involves a negative interpretation of your own behaviour, thinking about yourself like, ‘I have no power over this’ We know from many studies that thinking something has control over you leads to psychological distress,” Grubbs said.
