Here you will find a compilation of resources related to sexual addiction.
List of Studies (with excerpts and links to original papers):
1. This page lists 37 neuroscience-based studies (MRI, fMRI, EEG, neurospychological, hormonal) providing strong support for the addiction model.
2. This list contains 13 recent literature reviews by some of the top neuroscientists in the world, supporting the porn addiction model. (This dated paper was not a literature review and misrepresented most the papers it did cite.)
3. 24 studies linking porn use/sex addiction to sexual problems and lower arousal to sexual stimuli. The first 5 studies in the list demonstrate causation, as participants eliminated porn use and healed chronic sexual dysfunctions.
4. Over 55 studies link porn use to less sexual and relationship satisfaction.
5. At least 20 studies reporting findings consistent with escalation of porn use (tolerance), habituation to porn, and even withdrawal symptoms.
6. Over 45 studies link porn use to poorer mental-emotional health & poorer cognitive outcomes
7. Over 25 studies link porn use to "un-egalitarian attitudes" toward women
8. 25 studies falsify the claim that sex & porn addicts "just have high sexual desire"
Articles that directly take on naysayers talking points or misinformation.
