Science Stopped Believing in Porn Addiction. You Should, Too
  • Gary Wilson's Your Brain on Porn is a problematic source. It's not a peer reviewed academic source and its citations should be taken with a pinch of salt. The tone of the website often appears downright unhinged, especially when discussing the work of clinical experts such as neuroscientist Nicole Prouse.

    Clinical Psychologist David Ley's publishing history includes many relevant contributions to peer reviewed publications.

    Neither APA's DSM-V nor WHO's ICD-11 recognise any addiction disorder related to pornography. While ICD-11 recognises compulsive sexual behaviour disorder (CSBD), the absence of a close fit to established addiction models has been remarked. On the other hand, there is a substantial cottage industry based on this pseudoscientific concept.
