What is an addiction that is not seen for as bad as it is?

Porn addiction. There are certainly some small unpleasant things about it of course. Can certainly affect relationships, libido, and so on. But let's be real here. It's not in any way as bad or compatible to other common addictions. It certainly doesn't deserve to be in any way correlated with something that is very harmful like substance misuse.

Nobody has died watching porn. You can't get a health related disease from watching porn. And it does not impact your physical health in any way meaningful way whatsoever. It's safe. I'm not an expert, but I assume any mental health or sexual libido after effects are completely reversible after quitting for a considerable amount of time as well.

I'd personally rather have a nation of porn addicts than heroin addicts.
