1056 - Are You Porn Addicted or Porn Compulsive? (And Does It Really Matter?)


Listen Later

In this episode, Sathiya breaks down the difference between porn addiction and compulsive or problematic porn use—and explains why the label doesn’t actually matter as much as people think. Since pornography addiction isn’t officially recognized in the DSM-5, many men convince themselves they’re “not addicted,” even while experiencing all the signs of compulsive behavior. Learn how to evaluate whether your porn use is problematic, why minimizing your struggle keeps you stuck, and how anyone with ongoing porn-related issues can start real recovery. This episode is perfect for listeners seeking help with porn addiction recovery, compulsive porn habits, or understanding the signs of problematic porn use (PPU).
