You may be asking yourself, “Is my partner an addict, or does he enjoy a lot of pornography and Instagram models?” It’s a valid question to ask, and it can be challenging to answer without talking to a professional, particularly because pornography and sex addiction aren’t in the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) as this goes live. Here's Carne's POTHOS test.

If you have any questions, please let me know. Sending everyone happy and healthy vibes,

Laura
