So, not an addiction?
Most sex researchers have noted that actual compulsive sexual behaviors are very, very rare, and that what many people think of as a porn "addiction" comes more from a place of values judgement--especially religious values, whether they recognize them as such or not--rather than from the behavior being significantly outside of the norm in any way, or even damaging to the person.
Mormons--"Fight the New Drug"--have done a fantastic job of convincing people that porn and sex are terrible, and that any consumption at all is problematic.
“I’m not addicted, I can quit whenever I want.”
I hear that all the time. Keep denying the downsides of porn.
