A Correction on
The impact of internet pornography addiction on brain function: a functional near-infrared spectroscopy study

by Shu, Q., Tang, S., Wu, Z., Feng, J., Lv, W., Huang, M., and Xu, F. (2025). Front. Hum. Neurosci. 19:1477914. doi: 10.3389/fnhum.2025.1477914

In the published article, the reference: Levin, R. J. (2003). The ins and outs of vaginal lubrication. Sexual Relationsh. Therapy 18, 509–513. doi: 10.1080/14681990310001609859 appeared in the article. It has now been removed.

In the published article, there was an error. A correction has been made to Discussion, paragraph 1. This sentence previously stated: “Levin (2003) reported that enhanced functional connectivity in these brain regions is associated with sexual arousal, sexual activity, genital sensation, and autonomic movement of the genitals.”

This sentence has now been removed.

The original article has been updated.
