This seems to be aimed at people who are having issues. The title isn't "Porn will... " but "How porn can..."

Just as I don't think everyone who picks up a pack of cigarettes is going to get cancer, or everyone who drinks will become an alcoholic, and of course everyone who eats doesn't become addicted to food... not everyone who uses porn will start having less enjoyment of real sex due to the addiction mechanisms in the brain kicking in. It's a possibility, not a certainty.
