The concept of withdrawals, it's not a physical issue, it's a psychological one. Drugs do have some form of withdrawals, do have some form of toxicity that needs to be treated medically sometimes because it is ingested inside of the body like alcohol is too. But when it comes to porn, it is not ingested inside of the body. The problem that we have with porn is people get told to quit using fear and so they tend to go back because they like watching porn. Instead, they interpret that as withdrawals.
