Do you think all vices with potential for addiction should be banned, or just yours?

You're using the wrong word here. The issue of weather pornography is "addictive" has been visited multiple times by multiple DSM committees in recent times and in the latest release DSM-5-TR they have found that pornography cannot and does not cause "addiction". There may be disorders associated with it, but it is not addiction. Using that word allows for framing which justifies the use of violence against people and is, frankly, more damaging than pornography.

Fair enough. What word would you use? Pornography abuse?

I mean porn is especially potent because anyone can access it any time. A lot of men start watching porn around 10, and the fact it’s so easy to do is ridiculous. I mean when I was young, the only barrier between me and porn was learning what words brought up better search results

But it's also far less innocuous than a lot of other things. The vast majority of people have no problem with their porn consumption.

It's far more innocuous is what I meant. It causes little harm to most.
