That sounds like the onset of low testosterone issue

Porn addiction isn't a thing. People with addictive personalities always out here trying to blame whatever they are hyperfocusing on, instead of getting some therapy and addressing their neurodivergency.

True. There is no chemical part of porn itself to make it "addictive." Orgasm just releases dopamine that feels good.

If you are addicted to meth, it's not easy to give it up because you are chemically addicted to it.

If you are "addicted" to porn, it's moderately easy to give up, if you have self control

Porn addiction isn't a thing. It's made-up bullshit by people that buy into Judeo-Christian morality regarding sexual "purity". There are reasons that it didn't make it into DSM-V, and won't make it into DSM-VI either. The porn and masturbation isn't the problem, it's how people feel about it, and how they reconcile it with their own beliefs in morality, which is not even remotely the same as being addicted to opiates or nicotine.
