I can't tell if this is one of those satire sites.
It's real. Published one day ago:
https://baptistnews.com/article/men-only-gyms-seek-to-protect-christian-men-from-lust/
The site isn't what you might think, though. The article is funny, but also a surprisingly good read:
I know its easy to laugh, but a "porn addiction" can be serious shit. Terry Crews gave some great talks about how it fucked up his life in all sorts of ways.
Also, it's healthily skeptical:
It's got some good writeups, and spicy ones:

Porn addiction is not a thing. It's a made up concept slung around by christofascist chuds to hide their actual problem, which is that they have no self control and no respect for others' boundaries.
I mean people can get addicted to anything, but it's not the moral hazard they make it out to be.
No, that's not how addiction is defined. Dependency is not addiction. You aren't addicted to food or air. What "porn addiction" proponents are trying to convince you of is that any use of porn constitutes an addiction for which the only reasonable treatment is to stop viewing porn entirely. This is a tactic designed to both control and frustrate men to make them easier to manipulate. It's a shame collar put around their necks to leash them. It's not scientifically valid, they know that, and they do not care. Don't mince words with me please.

If you can get food addiction I think you can get porn addiction.
I get the distinction you're trying to make between behavioral addictions and chemical (? I forget the name) ones like alcohol addiction. But behavioral addictions by definition can be almost anything. I'd wager a good portion of us are addicted to our phones, for example.
You may have a point there, but consider this: Absolutely none of the people behind this "porn addiction" meme are qualified professionals in a position to make that distinction. Their disingenuous and manipulative nature is obvious as shit. You can argue about whether or not some form of porn addiction exists all day, but it doesn't matter whether or not it actually exists. They don't care how real it is or isn't. It's a useful tool for them to spread fascism, and that's reason enough to throw it in the garbage.
I didn't disagree but that doesn't mean people don't get addicted to porn.
You're right, my opinion doesn't mean people don't get addicted to porn. The consensus of the scientific community carries a bit more weight though, and that's what's behind my opinion. Believe whatever you want, but beware the ideological company you keep.
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC13371739/ porn addiction isn't a term that has been adopted by science but problematic porn use or PPU is and it's real. They did find that people from religious backgrounds called themselves addicts but weren't always actually consuming a lot of porn.
I say this as someone who doesn't have an issue with porn or people watching it. I fully agree that Christianity makes way too big a deal about porn and masturbation, but people def have real problems with their porn usage and not because it's morally wrong to look at porn.
Impossible to tell... The dark side clouds all.
