Quitting porn will just make you have sex. That's it. Stopping does nothing. The person will just seek out sexual stimuli in the wild instead. Sexual urges are supposed to happen, biologically. It's a normal impulse that is immediately traded for the real thing in the presence of a suitable mate, but we don't call it an 'addiction' when couples fuck with any regularity. That's the point when someone would normally masturbate.
You can lock the most hormonally dead ace into a room with a laptop and they will eventually look at porn, because they are programmed to find a mate from puberty. Not because they are a weak-willed drug addict. The """"cure"""" for watching smut is to occupy yourself with either a hobby or just an actual mate, which supplies either reasonably similar amounts of dopamine, or just the actual thing.
Meanwhile, a nicotine addict is addicted to something their body doesn't need yet becomes physically attacked by withdrawing from it. It's actually fucked.
