The idea
Practical effects can be tracked without diagnosing from a single habit.
An ordinary example
Noah wants to understand whether device use is crowding out rest.
What this can look like
Record a brief, non-explicit example of bedtime choices, next-day functioning, and an optional routine adjustment.

What changed in functioning, and what else might explain it? You may disagree with the framing, use fiction, or decide that this approach is not useful today.
A useful distinction
A chosen change goal and a clinical diagnosis are different questions. Address functioning, control, consent, values, and distress without assuming that sexual expression itself is pathological.
