Those two statements don't add up.

The porn addicts definition they give it watching at least 11 hours of porn a week.
But in a survey asking women simply if you struggle with addiction, 17% of those surveyed said yes. The survey sample could be 1000 for all we know, the source might be at the bottom of the article but I don't feel like looking.

Still doesn't add up, they say that 102 million people view porn. They then say 28% of porn viewers are women. That's like 28,560,000 women who watch porn. If 17% of these struggle with addiction, that would be 4,855,200 women alone who struggle with addiction to porn, yet there are only 200,000 males and females who are actually addicted?
Something is clearly wrong with their definition of addict when the difference between actual addicts and number of people who think they struggle with addiction is that far off.

Well the whole deal is that this article is total anti-porn, so they will create surveys and what not to make it seem bad.
So imagine a survey gets sent to you and asks blatantly "Are you a woman and do you struggle with pornography addiction?" This doesn't mean that 17% of all women have struggled, just 17% of those surveyed.
The statement that over 200,000 Americans are porn addicts is totally different from the women argument.
