Porn addiction and reading erotica are not comparable in my opinion. It's like comparing tik tok and being addicted to reading books! You are not biologically designed to get off on the sight of letters and sentences, and will never have an issue putting a book aside when need be. You just enjoy the work, dont feel bad about it. Literature is not a badge of intellect its just a medium for entertainment

Tons of people are addicted to reading, and it can definitely feel impossible to put an engrossing book down. And sexual content can feel addictive in any form... Just because you're more of a visual person and can't imagine written porn being equally absorbing doesn't mean it can't be that way for some people. Well-written smut feels a lot more addictive to me than visual porn.
