Why do we include gambling addiction studies (list below)? First of all, it was the first behavioral addiction included in the DSM as Pathological Gambling. If someone can become addicted to playing slots, they certainly can become addicted to streaming internet porn. This section may contain both lay articles for the general public, and research articles. The lay articles are marked with an “L”.
