Sexual fantasies created by the mind, be it internal created by the self (delusions) or created by others (pornography), isn't a simple dopamine path. It's all delusional in nature and should be dismissed as unreal like a white unicorn is metaphysically, i.e. white unicorn doesn't exists in reality. Now we rather want sexual fantasies to be realized, which is already an actionable desire that can be moral or immoral already.
What should be realized is sexual intercourse inside marriage and how you romantically think of your beloved. And as we've told before, we reiterate that if one really wants to experience the pleasures of sex, it should be sought inside marriage. All sexual fantasies should be Christianized and should be applied inside marriage instead, in a fashion of a tender loving caring (eros) culminating in sexual union, for we are rational creatures. Now, it's already a philosophical discourse, starting from the ancients, pointing to the spiritual nature of the agency of man, not purely materialist in nature as philosophy of man has systematically expounded.
It's not a simple dopamine controlling us or suggesting things. It's rather us needing to control ourselves, as agents. And the discussions of St. Paul to better marry than be aflamed with passion is the cure when our Lord told that we aren't created equal in the strength of being chaste when he told us not all can accept the teaching of forsaking ourselves for the sake of the kingdom. Most of us ending to needing the sacrament of marriage rather than priesthood or any other celibate vocation.
And so the concept of sexual addiction, which makes things more complicated, is not a simple idea to be redacted in materialist fashion philosophically.
