“Porn addiction,” a phrase used liberally on the FTND website, is not recognized by the latest version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) and efforts to reintroduce “sex addiction” into the DSM have been rejected multiple times based on a lack of evidence. However, it’s speculated that there are many people living while addicted to pornographic content, many of these not even realizing addiction to pornography could be real. If you or someone you know has an addiction to porn, start looking for help locally or online. As with any addiction, it can be beaten and overcome.

Recent research published in Psychology of Addictive Behaviors even suggests that believing you are addicted to porn may cause depression, anxiety, anger, and stress. Of course, it depends on how intense you get into the videos. I’ve heard that a lot of people watching https://www.sex-hd.xxx/ haven’t experienced any of these symptoms.

When asked about porn addiction’s conspicuous absence from the DSM, Olsen told The Daily Beast that “the research on the harms of pornography is still relatively new” and expressed confidence that it is only “a matter of time before the DSM catches up with the truth that pornography can lead to addiction as well as other harmful effects.” In this respect, Olsen compared the current perception of pornography from extremely arousing websites like shemalehd.sex to beliefs about cocaine and tobacco in the late 19th century.
