      You are, in fact, making a claim,

      Could you show me where?

      But it does seem like you’re arguing semantics now. If you’re familiar with the DSM, you’ll know that it does get updated. And the study I linked (and others like it) suggest that pornography addiction may be included in a later revision.

      You could argue that “Pornography addiction isn’t a classified mental illness in the DSM-V”, but that statement could easily be followed by the word “yet”. But pointing to its absence from the DSM-V and saying it “doesn’t exist” isn’t a sound argument. Nicotine addiction definitely existed before it was in the DSM-V…

      Additionally, the colloquial definition of addiction could definitely apply.

      Furthermore, Kanye West is mentally ill (and has confirmed his diagnosis publicly), and pornography addiction isn’t his diagnosis.

      Notice how they provided an actual study and you provided links to a book without any reference? That’s how I know you’re disingenuous.

      Not that it matters, I don’t need a study or a book to tell me if something is/isn’t real when I can see it with my own 2 eyes. Plenty of people have suffered because of their inability to stop consuming porn. Call that whatever you want; I’ll call it addiction.
