Fail. it's an addictive chemical produced by your brain to serve as "a neurotransmitter", having such chemical overproduced does contribute to addiction (read the quote above).
In our context; it motivates you to have more sex, you get addicted to it being produced, you get addicted to its rush when you have sex; along with other factors -like for example the touch + porn-.

Some?? porn is the recording of sex ! 
No? I didn't say that porn doesn't cause mutations to the brain; actually it causes massive transformation to your mentality especially when you are deprived from real sex.

It is one of many factors that contribute to addiction, it is not in itself addictive. Loneliness is also a contributing factor in addiction. Are you contending that loneliness is an addictive drug?

I'm a recovering alcoholic.  Sobriety date 30 June 2002 . Stopped smoking 13 January 2003.

Among other things, went to AA for a few years. I don't agree  with the AA claim that alcoholism is always an illness. I'm convinced it can be learned. Took me a decade of regular drinking in slowly increasing amounts before I crossed the line.

 Both of my maternal grandparents were alcoholics.  Seems there may such a thing as a genetic predisposition to alcoholism. However, a psychologist might argue that one can learn to be an alcoholic from parents. My mother simply did not drink. Dad was a heavy drinker, but not an alkie. My 3 siblings are also drunks.

The biochemistry of alcoholism is very interesting. It's most unfortunate that few doctors or even shrinks know much about addiction.
 Dopamine is actually very important. I'm not a chemist so this may be wrong:  In rehab I was told that alcohol triggers dopamine release. IF the drinking continues long enough, the body stops producing dopamine or produces it at a lower a rate. Drinking ceases and person begins to sober up. Needs dopamine. Body not producing. That's what causes the craving (???)  If this is factually wrong, a simple explanation would be appreciated

Most addiction  rehab programmes are based on AA's 12 step programme.  Around 3% of AA members stay sober long term (2 years or over) Would you take drug with a 3% success rate? What I got from AA ; complete acceptance, encouragement and fellowship.

Over the years I learned that my drinking was self medication.  I was trying to 'fix' myself.  I have always been considered 'odd' and always had a hard time with any kind of relationship. I held a job for 33 years.  Managed to stay married for 12 years.  Today even my siblings don't like being around me for more than an hour or so. I remain a hard person to like.

In 2012 at age 65, my shrink diagnosed me as being on the autism spectrum.  That explained quite a bit, but changed nothing. Today I have no idea how much of it has been the disorder and how much just me.

So yeah,  alcoholism and addiction generally are very complex issues.
