Historically, the DSM-IV diagnosis used most often to identify a sexual addiction falls under ‘Sexual Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (NOS)’ and one of three given examples, “Distress about a pattern of repeated sexual relationships involving a succession of lovers who are experienced by the individual only as things to be used.”
Lacking a distinct behavioral definition for pornography, therapists and other mental health professionals have used this diagnosis as a launching pad, along with the diagnoses for both substance abuse and pathological gambling, to assemble a set of criteria to define a pornography addiction.
Any number of these pieced-together diagnoses, along with unscientific self-assessment tests, can be found on the internet but the reader is urged to reserve such diagnoses for a qualified health care professional.
