How many people across the United States, then the World, do you think are addicted (and don't know it) and/or watch porn?
Supposedly 33% of young men have some degree of ED and I'm sure a great percentage more have brain changes associated with addiction.
Addicted? The addiction rates of a population is about 5 - 10 percent for any give substance or behavior.
Google "Herbivore men porn" to see what the porn epidemic has done to guys in Japan. A lot of them take the position they don't really need real sex, because porn is good enough. Scary.
I think the percentage of porn addicts is extremely high. Porn is highly addicting and 99% of young guys are consuming it. Most of them probably get to the point where they grow dependent on porn. Their whole reproductive system is simply wired to jerk off regularly. If you can't go without porn for 30 days you're addicted I would say. I'd guess that over 50% of young guys qualify for this.
I think the problem is that many of the people who are addicted (or in the process of addicting themselves) to porn are young kids - teenagers - who are still in the 'porn is cool' stage, and so do not think that they are doing themselves any damage. It's only in later years when they crash emotionally, ruin a relationship/career or their willies stop working that they realise they are addicted. Porn, it seems, is one of the few addictions you can have without realising you have it, so I wonder if the reported rates of addiction are rather a lot lower than reality.
Because of the biological drive towards sex and porn's ease of accessibility, I would estimate well over 90% of men with reliable internet connections access porn
