it might be worthwhile to actually ask the OP to define what he means by "Porn Addiction.
I'm not aware of any other threads, but ok. From casual stuff in high school, escalating to thinking about it all the time, multiple times masturbating per day, not being satisfied by certain types of porn anymore and having to move on to different, harder things to get off. That's the jist.

Using that definition, I'd assume nearly no one...do you disagree?
Put pulling up some porn a few times a week and rubbing one out? Yeah...you're gonna catch a LOT with that net. The question then becomes...does that then become some huge problem we need to address with some no fap month stuff or merely the modern version of finding some quiet time with the old Sears catalog?

It's usually because they get more of a sexual thrill from porn. They see girls getting boned that they are incapable of getting or just to scared to talk to. Or they are just afraid of getting hurt. Bitches these days are ruthless.

I'm actually only passively aware of that no fap month thing. This has nothing to do with that, or religion. It's a real problem that someone I know is suffering from and I just want to help.

It's like any addiction. If the addict doesn't want to stop, they won't. It's like forcing a heroin user to go to rehab. Sure, it might help while they're there. But if they don't truly want to stop shooting up, there's a good chance they'll relapse once they're away from rehab.
I'd say the best way to tackle this would be to explain how and why a porn addiction can be a problem. If they don't see it as a problem, why would they change? You need to find some way to explain that this is a problem (if they're truly addicted, like you say) and that there is some sort of reward for not jacking it multiple times a day.
Also, you can try showing your friend this TED Talk about porn and how it might be affecting the brain. It's, at the very least, an interesting watch. Can't hurt to show it to him.

Pornography addiction
This is a made up term created by jealous women. They try to define normal male instincts as an 'addiction' to make it seem abnormal and thus a problem.
Well, watching porn IS normal for men, otherwise it wouldn't be the most popular thing on the internet (or at least #2).
That's like saying that using Google is abnormal and a problem..."You're addicted to Google, stop and get some help"

The only thing these "addicts" are addicted to is orgasms (porn is just a means to that end)... And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that
actually they can't get it up without porn, not even with hot chick. Its legit

I just know it is something I would never do. If I am in a dry spell fapping is the only thing keeping me from murdering people.

Some posters have given good advice.
Some more to suggest
For some the phone can be the biggest temptation sometimes a block will be put on the computer but the phone will continue to be a problem. Go into parental controls in the phone and if he feels like he needs to disable the browser and app downloading. Currently to my knowledge there is no way to filter incoming internet connections on the iPhone that does a very good job at it. If you disable the browser apps may still let him have access.
Any other important thing is to understand why he is looking at porn. This obviously is where the theosophist comes in. If he finds out what he is looking for interiorly when he looks at porn he can look for healthier ways to fill that need.
Blocking only does so much, people who are addicted to something do it because their body is craving something and the addiction temporarily fills that need, finding out what that is can really help overcome the addiction.
Lastly be patient addictions are difficult to overcome the longer the addiction the harder it is to overcome it. But it can be beat it just takes time.

Pornography isn't a classified addiction, it is a symptom for another issue. I suggest you go see a shrink to see what your real issue is if you are having trouble with your porn viewing habits.

I'm actually in a class that touched on this. (Pun intended)
According to this psychologist teaching the class you will be a sex offender.
