I was listening to the "Art of Manliness" podcast (corny sounding name but seriously worth checking out) and he recently had a psychologist on who works with men who suffer from "enmeshment" with their mothers. Enmeshment means you put your mother's needs over your own needs, can't set boundaries well, and generally go through life in a passive way with a poorly defined sense of self. This leads to porn addiction and many other problems according to him.
He mentioned on the show that he works with many guys who are compulsive sex or porn addicts who are living with their mothers or overly attached to them in an unhealthy way. When he persuades them to move out or set boundaries, their addictions clear up instantly.
Of course addiction is a complex thing and there is not going to be a simple answer, but consider this one more angle or possible route to recovery.
He has a free survey you can take to see your "enmeshment" level: https://www.overcomingenmeshment.com/mens-enmeshment-impact-survey/
