As bad as hard drugs? Do you have any objective scientific evidence to support that claim? Or did the community of NoFap sell you that lie?
I think everyone can agree excessive porn use is bad, but I don't see the problem in people using it given they use it in moderation. Personally, I find the industry appalling, hence why I use my imagination. Though other people may find pleasure in watching porn and that's completely fine -- why not let them? Some couples use it for inspiration to spice things up, again, why not let them?
Making it illegal would only worsen matters, because then they're going to start browsing the dark web to find what they seek.
