Yeah lol
Not to mention
Everything is bigger in Texas. Including outright fabrication
APA and WHO rejecting sex and porn as addictions makes me more skeptical of them than porn addiction.
And I'm already side-eyeing WHO from how they handled covid. They are the ones where a lack of evidence had them supporting the "everything is fine" side of things rather than the "better safe than sorry". And also lying about the lack of evidence itself because there were already stories on the internet that indicated it was airborne when they were saying that there wasn't any evidence that it was.
WHO doesn't have much credibility IMO and this just further hurts it.
Comments like this are just sad.
Because of my stance against WHO or because I think porn might be addictive? Or maybe both?
Because a panel of scientists has done documented research to test whether porn addiction should be an illness, and through studies they have found that in most cases, compulsive porn usage is due to another underlying issue, and the porn itself is an avenue and not the source of the issue. Attacking the WHO because of your stance on COVID has nothing to do with this.
Argh, had a comment written out but Lemmy closed and erased it when I upvoted. But the gist of it was I read a meta study that included the WHO one, then read a study that was for porn addiction, and the for porn addiction one mistook correlation for causation and their description of their data was still consistent with what you said.
Thanks for not being a dick with this response like that other guy.
Hey I’m just trying to make sure the right info is what people see. If there really is a scientifically proven porn addiction, let’s make it known, but before that, and until that happens, let’s tackle the problem with evidence
💀
I can't tell if this is an insult or not. What kind of shoes do you have?
And if they have something more productive to say, could you put them on instead?
