The fact you outright lie doesn't help your case & just makes you the kind of person not worth engaging with.
The only person who lied in this thread is you. You didn't refute anything I said, just went on an attack, because you believe your illiteracy is somehow my dishonesty.
The reason porn (and many other behaves) can be addictive is that an orgasm feels good because of the endorphins (a drug) your brain releases, and yes, you can get addicted to that sensation & the behaviors that lead to is (just like some gamblers getting hooked on the 'thrill' of it). Arguing that is like trying to argue water isn't wet.
Neurotransmitters aren't drugs. You don't get addicted to them. Also, water isn't wet. Water is making other things wet, the property itself can't give itself its own property. To say that water is wet is to say that water makes itself be itself. It's basic logic.
But the research is irrelevant to the ultimate point
Yeah, I kind of figured you don't find research to be relevant to arguing your positions.
The guy you are arguing with is an outright liar, sent him links to a US study and his response was to say its an obscure Chinese source....
I believe its called being 'in denial'.
So, resorting to lying, like you did, is somehow proof of being in denial? Well, I'm glad you identified the problem you are suffering from to everyone.
I made a valid and calm response, and you went berserk trying to defend your misguided position by throwing incorrect attacks on my character. This speaks volumes about the strong bias that overrides your better judgment. I take this to be why your accusations have been projected confessions thus far.
First source i put was the first result that turned up & was a pretty shitty source so I was probably a tad strong in my wording when addressing them, as the source was shitty (so my mistake) still doesnt disprove my point (their conclusion was disingenuous in that 1 bad source doesn't = no research has been done at all, despite the second link, and the links from another user or a simple search).... porn effects are being studied, only an idiot says they haven't been.
But my ultimate point (as above), is whatever that research finds is irrelevant as its an adults choice to damage themselves (as long as it doesn't directly harm others) if they so choose (like alcohol, gambling, food, smoking etc. etc.).
Both websites you linked are scam websites, as
peterppp illustrated (thank you by the way, peterppp, you saved me a lot of time driving this point to him myself again
).
What do you expect me to do? To go through each paper mill made research linked, research that I've seen for years circulating the same NoFap and anti-porn spaces, none of which serve to reliably support the thesis that porn is addictive, and are thrown at people like rocks exploiting the fact that most people aren't scientifically litterate enough to call out the bullshit, with me having to provide you with step by step explenations of what is wrong with them, wasting my time, as you would clearly just completly ignore a wall of text I would have to wrote, mocking me in the process, because you are incapable of admitting making a mistake?
The entire

rejected the position you are making after going through such a type of faux research, as it was linked. But I'm guessing you are the real smart one, and will be battling the totality of psychologists in the US just to push this long-debunked narrative?
You displayed no actual understanding of neurobiology, no knowledge of psychology, and it's clear you didn't read any of the papers yourself when you first linekd them, uncritically picking two obscure websites that I bet you needed some time to dig out of the depths of the internet, despite them lacking credibility, only because they justified your preconceived notion.
You don't have credentials, you don't have the qualifications, you don't have the knowledge, but you speak with uttermost confidence, and feel quick to throw accusations at me. Accusations, which you recognize were incorrect, as you acknowledge the research I talked about was indeed Chinese, with you not apologizing for this insult.
I'm not going to waste time talking to intellectually dishonest armchair psychologists hellbent on rationalizing their misguided worldview by ignoring the substance of what has been said to them, and grasping straws desperately to double down. I'm not interested in convincing brainwashed people that what they believe is propaganda, because it's often impossible, but when people spread disinformation, I do gently point out the most oblivious flaws and inform people about there being an actual truth, that they might want to explore if they are interested, with contents of what I wrote allowing any person to do their search. So I gave you a brief explanation and some pointers you could take to expand your knowledge, because open-minded, not ideologically possessed people, would take them. And in response, instead of taking it or making follow-up questions to learn more, you got angry that somebody didn't agree with you after your butchered attempt to convince them.
What you illustrated is that nobody should ever listen to any word you are speaking, because the only thing to expect from you is misinformation and attacks for disagreeing. So go back to injecting yourself with porn, and trying to pry open your glued to your dick hand with a crowbar as you jerk off to pictures of Cthulu, or whatever else the porn made you do, and don't waste any more of my or anyone else's time again.
