Uhhh, porn is definitely addictive... not against banning or removing it, but..
“Addictive” means so many different things to different people at this point, it’s become useless. If you can compare the erotic materials I share with my spouse to heroin with a straight face, I’m not the one with a problem.
Lol, you jump straight up to haroin? Just because you and your wife have a healthy relationship with porn doesn't mean it can't be addictive to other people. If someone has physical withdrawal symptoms from not consuming the thing, it's an addiction.
Like, caffeine is highly addictive, but you wouldn't compare that with haroin.
I absolutely would compare caffeine with heroin when making the point that the term “addiction” has become so broad as to be meaningless.
