As long as you use the same argument for things like alcohol. I rarely drink. By no stretch of the imagination would anyone ever try to argue that I have an alcohol addiction. For someone who drinks a bit more, say one or twice a week and never goes overboard, similarly it would be difficult to argue that's an issue.
For right or wrong, porn is viewed similarly. Most people are happy to draw a line somewhere, just not at zero like the absolutists.
That being said, at bare minimum it needs to go back to being stigmatized much much more than currently. Letting people talk about it openly and even participate in it openly without social consequences has been a huge mistake.
Its really amazing how many of the same arguments used against porn, and other vices, mirror those used for Prohibition back in the day.
But nobody wants to acknowledge that because most of these guys want to have their beers still and also that was "government bad overreach" so its totally different this time and will absolutely work.
They even use the "I can quit anytime" cope verbatim. There's no "healthy" amount of addiction.
