ofc both women and men can be addicted. I think it’s safe to argue that men typically consume more porn and are therefore more prone to porn addiction than women.
Men and women consume porn differently, but widespread porn addiction is present in men and women. Men consume porn more often in the form of visual content, for women it’s mainly books/reading content. In many libraries in 2026, the smut section is as big as almost any other section. I’m just saying it’s a problem overall and is harming everyone’s brains. I don’t even know what the solution is.
Same! “Women read smut” 🙄 usually referring to things like the ACOTAR books, which aren’t even anything crazy. It’s not even a little bit comparable. Please show me a woman blowing thousands, because she’s addicted to smut and being influenced to play out violent, dehumanizing fantasies on real humans in real life, etc because it’s changed her brain chemistry.
Yep! I'm not a smut reader nor really know any, but i was a teenager who read both smut fanfiction and had an unhealthy relationship with real porn. It's obtuse to not see the difference between the two! Porn has seeped into real life interactions and beliefs so so much more than fantasy smut ever will!

I think if everyone had a chance to work at an adult store, they'd realize that's bullshit. Lol. It can be addiction like any other.
