For a small proportion of people, pornography use may be associated with prioritization, loss of control, and negative functional consequences.

Although the field of research is still evolving, certain variables seem to predict the severity of this addiction, such as craving, the use of pornography for emotional regulation, insecure attachment, and moral incongruence.
