I’d advise against taking worries of porn addiction any more seriously than worries of “internet addiction” or “social media addiction”
This sentence sounds like it’s intended to communicate “porn addiction shouldn’t be taken very seriously”. But speaking as someone who is hardly ever capable of staying offline even for a day despite huge increases in well-being whenever he is successful at it, to say nothing about the countless of days ruined due to getting stuck on social media, these examples make it sound like you were saying that porn addiction was an immensely big risk that was worth taking very seriously indeed.
I actually had what you’ve said about social media addiction in mind when I wrote that sentence. So like, if you’re losing entire days to porn, yeah, you have a problem. But if your experience is more along the lines of “have trouble not spending at least 15 minutes on porn each day,” I wouldn’t be more worried about that than “have trouble not spending at least 15 minutes on social media each day.”
