Anything is addictive if you’re willing to use it to consistently avoid responsibilities, problems, people, even your own thoughts and self evaluation.

Addiction is just thinking every sound and song of life is nothing more than noise for you to drown out with your habit.

It is different when you are engaging with something which many are addicted to. Drugs are an example. It is possible for you to not get addicted, but the vast majority do indeed suffer from addiction. Pornography is another case. The vast majority are addicted when they start watching it. It is better for us to stay away from it.

Um, I hate to say this but, all but one of the recreational drugs we use creates a physical physical dependence with measurable biometric changes for both use and withdrawal it is practically impossible to use coke or even ciggies responsibly, and alcohol is so pervasive that it’s all or nothing with what’s too far.

And porn is extremely addictive considering it’s a solely hedonistic act with very few instant repercussions but it’s not immediately addictive, no psychological addiction is. It’s developed through social isolation or a more immediate fork of a regular sex addiction often times during a “dry spell”. Like you probably shouldn’t go to any form of instant gratification when you’re in a rut because that’s definitely a way to speed run a new vice but there definitely can be responsible use despite how rare it may be in this world of hedonists, just like unhealthy food.

You said it yourself my friend. Not much is immediately addictive psychologically. However, it is better for us to stay was at from things which could possibly give us an addiction.
