Because porn addiction is controversial in the medical/mental health community, there’s not a clear set of causes available. But there may be some clues in the causes of compulsive sexual behavior. Things that lead to porn addiction could include:
- A brain chemical imbalance. Chemicals like serotonin and norepinephrine control your moods. High levels are often tied to compulsive sexual behavior, like heavy porn use.
- Brain pathway changes. If you do get addicted, it could change the way circuits in your brain work. An addiction means you’ll have to view porn over and over again to get the same level of enjoyment.
- Brain disease. Conditions like epilepsy and dementia, and treatment for Parkinson’s with dopamine, can damage the part of your brain that controls sexual behavior.https://www.webmd.com/sex/porn-addiction-possible
