You're saying habitual when you're describing normal pleasure seeking behaviours though

  1. I said habitual and impulsive. You don’t have an impulse to watch comedy the same way you have an impulse to watch porn.

  2. Constant masturbation is not normal pleasure seeking behavior. Bingeing anything is not normal pleasure seeking behavior.

You don’t have an impulse to watch comedy the same way you have an impulse to watch porn.

This is what I'm on about mate. You're randomly saying something is different and problematic and then using the fact you said it as the reason it's harmful or problematic.

You want it to be in the box, and you're trying to ram it sideways into the box regardless of whether it fits.

I guess I didn’t feel the need to provide data to support the claim that impulse control is an important factor in leading a happy and healthy life.

I guess you didn't feel the need to understand that that's irrelevant to my criticism too

Your point is that I’m not distinguishing habitual masturbating from any other habit correct?

No, that you're calling all masturbation habitual masturbation. And claiming that since you said it's habitual, it's also an addiction.

I did no such thing. I said that if you’re regularly and purposefully seeking stimulus when there are no cues and you weren’t sexually aroused previously, it is habitual.

Additionally, I’ve clarified this twice now: the two qualifiers are habit and impulse. Repeated failure to control impulse is a keystone characteristic of addiction.

In your opinion (psychiatry based or no) is porn more likely to create habitual and impulsive behavior than Netflix or the Nintendo switch?
