Lol. This is a real thing. I suffered from this. Labelling this 'Christian' doesn't make them false.
No, you didn't. You believed you did, because Judeo-Christian fundamentalists convinced you that you did, in order to sell you their cure. You're actively promoting their talking points, as well as the talking points of the alt-right.
How many people can you find that are licensed clinical psychologists, that are trained and specialize in sexual disorders, that use an evidence-based approach to treatment--not a spiritual-based or spiritually-aware approach--that promote the idea that there is "porn addiction"?
Found the reductionist! Every problem has to be because of your preconceived enemy figure, doesn't it?
You can just ask why the person labeled it as an addiction. What if he was regularly missing work, social gatherings, or other things due to his urge to masturbate? Is that not an addiction? If a person's life is worse because they can't stop doing something that's an addiction.
