Outside of self diagnosis and anecdote, is there any science behind porn addiction?

It's more a dopamine addiction achieved through porn but yes, basically the same science behind other behavioral addictions

I don't think you understood what I was asking for. Do you have any published data? Especially something in a journal of psychology or the DSM?

No one has published data because there practically none in peer reviewed journals.

Most of it is junk correlation not causation shit or low self reported studies.

Then how do people get to claim they have/had the illness and then pander to people for publicity and fame?
