I am sure there are a small % of guys out there that meet the criteria for an addiction in the way they deal with porn. Sex isn't like drugs, alcohol, gambling - it's a basic essential human need we are all born with like eating and sleeping, whether it's masturbation or with a partner. To call sex an addiction is a joke, there are lots of medical studies that say there are significant physical and mental problems caused by abstinence. Look what forced abstinence does to priests - i don't think most priests who go into the priesthood do so with homosexuality or pedophilia in their genetics - the forced abstinence is what does it, people are SEXUAL, sadly young boys are the most convenient and practical 'partners' for a priest.
