UPDATE 2017: A new study (Fernandez et al., 2017) tested and analyzed the CPUI-9, a purported “perceived pornography addiction” questionnaire developed by Joshua Grubbs, and found that it couldn’t accurately assess “actual porn addiction” or “perceived porn addiction” (Do Cyber Pornography Use Inventory-9 Scores Reflect Actual Compulsivity in Internet Pornography Use? Exploring the Role of […]
Read More… from Is Joshua Grubbs pulling the wool over our eyes with his “perceived porn addiction” research?
The authors of this so-called review would have readers believe that self-identification as a porn addict is a function of religious shame/moral disapproval about porn. They only reviewed a small number of studies, which rely on the CPUI-9, an instrument developed by co-author Grubbs that produces skewed findings. The co-authors carefully omitted or misrepresented opposing […]

This phenomenon is known as ‘the pornographic action of mainstream’ culture (McNair, 2013, p. 3), which some people view as a way of augmenting their relationship (Kohut et al., 2018). However, the idea that viewing relational pornography together […]

Porn industry allies, including tribes of pro-porn researchers, have been pushing the idea that people reporting symptoms of PPU (problematic porn use) merely suffer from moral incongruence (meaning they have ethical concerns about porn use). The implication is that these people are “religious” and thus that religion, not porn use, is their “real” problem. Years […]
