Is porn addiction real?

50% Facts with Silent Mike & Jim McD

We’ve seen people on social media, TV, etc. talk about their “porn addiction.” Most people nod their heads as if they believe and understand what the person is going through. Addiction is addiction, right?
But…several years ago, scientists stopped believing in the condition. Studies didn’t support that it exists, and there’s no way to diagnose it. Why are people still saying they have it if it doesn't exist? Do they really believe it, or are they virtue signaling?
