If a person watches more than 15-20 minutes of porn a day, this may indicate addiction and compulsive sexual behavior disorder (CRSP), Alina Maksimova, a member of the Association of Sexologists, a sexologist and an expert at the Psychodemia online school. , told socialbites.ca.
CDI is a mental disorder included in ICD-11 (Eleventh Revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems). It is characterized by a persistent inability to control sexual impulses. Symptoms may include repetitive sexual activities that become a person’s main life goal.
“Watching pornography can be considered the norm when this process does not affect a person’s social life and relationship with a partner. If viewing does not take more than 15-20 minutes a day and rejection of porn is not of much concern. It is also important that the choice between porn and partner sex is always the latter, Maksimova said.
It is also important that 50% or more of masturbation is not accompanied by watching porn. Otherwise, addiction and sexual behavior disorder may be suspected.
“It is also important that the person does not experience feelings of guilt after watching pornography, and that they do not experience orgasm and erection problems. If watching pornography becomes the focus of one’s attention, if it is preferable to watch a clip (changing the different plot) instead of choosing a single movie and watching it, then we can talk about CRSP, ”said Maksimova.
