“Porn addiction,” like “sex addiction,” isn’t recognized by the DSM-5, which classifies mental disorders. While porn-viewing can be compulsive, like other behaviors, research suggests that perceived porn addiction predicted distress over actual porn use itself. Yet, the idea of “porn addiction” persists in the U.S., which lacks comprehensive sex education requirements in many states; only 37 percent of states require sex education to be medically accurate, according to Boston University.
What a perfect example of how sexuality is suppressed, controlled, then monetized in the US, and the harm it causes.

You reminded me of a post I saw in r/catholicism. OP wanted to stop masturbating, but wasn’t able to overcome the urge and felt very bad about it, knowing it was wrong, and was asking advice. All the comments were in the line of “Just trust and submit to Jesus and he’ll help you”.
WTF… I felt bad for OP and other people in a situation like that.

After the initial amazement, reason kicked back in: of course there would be an app for that, and of course some people would use it and share their intimate life with a company they know nothing about, because it has a bold line “We value your privacy” somewhere on its website.

Is this the one Mike Johnson and his son use?

I think they use covenant eyes, which sees every web page that you view and analyzes text and pictures on every web page. When there is something flagged as sexual on the web page, it sends a report to your “accountability partner”. Not sure exactly what’s on the report, but safe to assume it shows web address, date, and time that the web page was loaded.
Huge security breach to be on the Speaker’s computer.

I’m probably wrong but I could swear I messaged them on reddit years ago to ask if they’d release a generalized quit addiction app and they basically said they only cared about nofap.

That particular brand of American Christians who have somehow concluded that Jesus’s main message was NO WANKING.

Are these guys part of that litigious pseudo-cult? The one whose founder sued his own mother for talking about the extremist elements?

I couldn’t tell ya. Don’t even know for sure if this is the same ones as our conversation was 2 comments on their r/nofap post several years ago.

It’s good that the article mentioned that pein addiction isn’t real (or at least isn’t a specific addiction), but weird that it left out the ties between no-Fap and the alt-right/incel community.
JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 7 hours ago
Oh no, is that what they’re doing?
They’re convincing incels to nofap?
I never really thought about the overlap but you’re totally right on that.
God, that explains so much.

That’s why if I use apps to track sensitive data (can also be heath related, bad habits etc) i use a generic app, with secret codes and acronyms instead of plain labels

At first I thought this was stupid, and it is for other reasons, but then I realized that gen z and alpha in the US might legitimately need counseling. Teens and young adults are having less sex. I’d imagine they have a similar sex drive compared to previous generations, but their outlet is themselves.
An app will never be the answer, but there’s assuredly a higher than average number of sex addicts currently feeling quiet shame for a basic human instinct gone haywire. If not for the fact that I’ve been hearing middle schoolers talking about gooning, this thought would never have struck me.

Carnelian@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
Well, that depends, are they also charging you a ludicrous sum of money each month? It would make me feel a lot more confident sharing my intimate details if they also required my credit card. The only thing that could set my mind more at ease would be extensive biometrics
