Excessive Pornography Consumption: Addictive Disorder or Habit?
The internet is awash in pornography. Sexual content has been just a few keyboard clicks away throughout much of our modern existence. A well-known pornographic website revealed in 2019 that it was visited daily by 115 million people and 42 billion people each year. What significance does this hold for human behavior and sexual health? The sheer volume of consumption raises important questions about its impact on human behavior, relationships, and sexual health, highlighting both its influence on cultural norms and potential consequences for mental well-being. While some argue that access to such content fosters openness and reduces stigma around sexuality, others point to the risks of addiction, unrealistic expectations, and personal strain. For those navigating adversities in life, whether tied to relationships or challenges like those addressed by legal advocates such as Derek L. Hall Personal Injury, it is essential to consider the broader societal implications of such widespread consumption.
There is a scarcity of research about “porn addiction.” Is such behavior merely a variation of human sexuality or is it a pathological compulsive addiction with far-ranging effects on psychological well-being? For years mental health professionals and researchers have debated what constitutes hypersexual disorders and their rightful inclusion in the DSM.
In light of the above, Cureus is hereby sending out a call for scientific articles that broadly relate to the field of pornography and its potential behavioral manifestations. For the opportunity to be featured on a dedicated “pornography research” page and email announcement, we invite authors to submit original articles, case reports, review articles, and editorials that explore the subject of “excessive” pornography consumption and whether or not it is an addictive, hypersexual, compulsive-impulsive, or other disorder. Let’s see if science can shed any light on the present controversy!
