I don’t even know anymore…

    You are, in fact, making a claim,

    Could you show me where?

    But it does seem like you’re arguing semantics now. If you’re familiar with the DSM, you’ll know that it does get updated. And the study I linked (and others like it) suggest that pornography addiction may be included in a later revision.

    You could argue that “Pornography addiction isn’t a classified mental illness in the DSM-V”, but that statement could easily be followed by the word “yet”. But pointing to its absence from the DSM-V and saying it “doesn’t exist” isn’t a sound argument. Nicotine addiction definitely existed before it was in the DSM-V…

    Additionally, the colloquial definition of addiction could definitely apply.

    Furthermore, Kanye West is mentally ill (and has confirmed his diagnosis publicly), and pornography addiction isn’t his diagnosis.
