Cambridge Study: Internet porn addiction mirrors drug addiction

[adaywillcome]

"What they found was that the brains of those with the compulsive sexual behaviors “lit up” in a different way from those without such compulsions. Interestingly, the patterns of brain activation in these people mirrored those seen in the brains of drug addicts when they were exposed to drugs. Moreover, the three particular regions that lit up more in sex addicts’ brains – the ventral striatum, dorsal anterior cingulate and amygdala – are regions known to be involved in reward, motivation and craving."

Unless I am misunderstanding something, is it then anything which rewards you is addictive?
