Boo clickbait title. What the article actually says (from what I can see on the first, ungated page) is that what people refer to as "porn addiction" differs from substance addiction in certain ways (physiological responses to the target of addiction). So maybe "addiction" is a poor metaphor for the problem some people have in regulating porn consumption. Which is very different from denying the existence of the problem.
I was able to see the entire paper in the viewing window below the abstract. It seems like the point of the paper is that "hypersexuality" is nothing like substance abuse, but there are measurable effects for hypersexual vs "normal" people, such as responding less or differently to visual sexual stimuli.
Stats: (For a 24 year old, the average was 2 partners/year, 0.6 hours/week of porn, whereas hypersexuals reported 3.3 partners/year, 3.8 hours/week of porn).
