*This data represents pornography consumption rather than addiction. Pornography consumption refers to the viewing of pornography, in which the urge to watch is not compulsive and does not impede one’s life. On the other hand, addiction refers to compulsive viewing of pornography that negatively impacts one’s life, and users experience withdrawal when they go for extended periods without viewing it. The urge is never satisfied and interferes with one’s daily routine, ultimately changing one’s brain functioning and affecting other behaviors (Orford, 2001). The data analyzed did not provide sufficient information regarding pornography addiction. Thus, we focused on pornography consumption.
