"Arousal addiction symptoms are easily mistaken for such things as: ADHD, social anxiety, depression, performance anxiety, OCD.

Binging in porn leads to a buildup of Delta-FosB which leads to physical changes in the brain. One of the first changes is a numbed pleasure response. Everyday pleasures don't satisfy a porn addict. The brain becomes hyper reactive to porn. Everything else becomes boring. Finally the willpower erodes as the frontal lobe changes."

I don't think most porn addicts realize they're addicted to porn. How many times do you fap per day?

Fapping doesn't need to be done to porn.

Its pretty easy to identify when your addiction is getting in the way with the rest of your life.. Yet again change your title, this has to do with people who have a severe addiction..

If he disclosed how many times he faps per day then we would know if he's addicted or not. He just said that it's not getting in the way of his life. It's pretty hard for fapping to get in the way of your life. If it takes 2 minutes to fap and you fap ten times per day then it would only take 20 minutes per day.

10 times a day!:o My god, I think you have the addiction!

Just think of all the "practice" he has had to put in to get it down to a exact science of 2 minute "sessions".

Quantity isn't the important part of an addiction, it's more a consequences thing and how you have your priorities completely messed up.

not "you" but you know what i mean hehe

A single viewing of pornagraphy will alter and distort your view of sex. Of course its going to alter your personality and mind in a very negative way to anyone who views it once, occasionally, or frequently.

There is no number qaunity you can begin with it... Its if the said addiction is actually interfering with your life, relationships, work etc etc.. Furthermore masturbation is a natural and actually quite healthy, and it can have absolutely nothing to do with porn.

Masturbation produces the same chemicals and physical changes in the brain. If you watch the video, the speaker say that any easily available and pleasurable stimuli produce the same physical changes.

Compulsion is not noticed unless the person is actively trying to eliminate the behavior. Your statement wouldn't make sense in the context of any other addiction.A drug addict does not feel withdrawal until he stops using the drug.

If you have sex several times a day, then yes. But I doubt that you've ever had sex, let alone several times a day.
