Pornography addiction is an addiction model of compulsive sexual activity with concurrent use of pornographic material, despite negative consequences to one's physical, mental, social, or financial well-being.

Universally accepted diagnostic criteria do not exist for pornography addiction or problematic pornography viewing.

The rewarding and reinforcing (i.e., addictive) properties of cybersex have been evidenced using cue reactivity experiments with pornographic cues in humans, which supports the classification of cybersex addiction as a true behavioral addiction.

Human sexual activity, human sexual practice or human sexual behavior is the manner in which humans experience and express their sexuality.

People engage in a variety of sexual acts, ranging from activities done alone (e.g., masturbation) to acts with another person (e.g., sexual intercourse, non-penetrative sex, oral sex, etc) in varying patterns of frequency, for a wide variety of reasons.

Sexual activity normally results in sexual arousal and physiological changes in the aroused person, some of which are pronounced while others are more subtle.

Sexual activity may also include conduct and activities which are intended to arouse the sexual interest of another or enhance the sex life of another, such as strategies to find or attract partners (courtship and display behavior), or personal interactions between individuals (for instance, foreplay or BDSM).

Sexual activity may follow sexual arousal.

Compulsive behavior is defined as performing an act persistently and repetitively without it necessarily leading to an actual reward or pleasure.

Compulsive behaviors could be an attempt to make obsessions go away.

The act is usually a small, restricted and repetitive behavior, yet not disturbing in a pathological way.

Compulsive behaviors are a need to reduce apprehension caused by internal feelings a person wants to abstain from or control.

A major cause of the compulsive behaviors is said to be obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD).

"The main idea of compulsive behavior is that the likely excessive activity is not connected to the purpose to which it appears directed." Furthermore, there are many different types of compulsive behaviors including, shopping, hoarding, eating, gambling, trichotillomania and picking skin, checking, counting, washing, sex, and more.

Also, there are cultural examples of compulsive behavior.

Addiction recovery groups are voluntary associations of people who share a common desire to overcome drug addiction.

Different groups use different methods, ranging from completely secular to explicitly spiritual.

Some programs may advocate a reduction in the use of illegal drugs rather than outright abstention, although this is typically not a sustainable treatment plan in the long term.

One survey of members found active involvement in any addiction recovery group correlates with higher chances of maintaining sobriety.

The survey found group participation increased when the individual members' beliefs matched those of their primary support group (often people will be members of multiple addiction recovery groups).

Analysis of the survey results found a significant positive correlation between the religiosity of members and their participation in twelve-step addiction recovery groups and SMART Recovery, although the correlation factor was three times smaller for SMART Recovery than for the twelve-step addiction recovery groups.

Religiosity was inversely related to participation in Secular Organizations for Sobriety.
