Of course, what is or is not "the gross stuff" is also purely subjective.

I don't doubt that, in much the same way that there are soap opera addictions, "Robot Chicken" addictions, and "Doctor Who" (and spinoffs) addictions, that there are real porn addictions.

The only real difference between all four is that the first three usually don't involve a "morality" which would be offended by the media in question, which is why porn addictions are treated as "bad", whereas experiencing withdrawal symptoms when one misses a soap opera is merely considered an eccentricity.  Either all four are (or can be) bad or none of them are (or can be) bad.
