Except from their wives or (the captives and slaves) that their right hands possess - for them, they are free from blame. But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors." 23.5-7.

    There are many ways to stop watching porn, but it's very hard to be consistent even when doing extra worship. There's not much that can be done in such cases, except being patient and steadfast. There are a number of prayers you can read when you get bad thoughts. For example, "Allaahum-magh-fir dhan-bee wa ṭah-hir qal-bee, wa ḥaṣṣin far-jee" ("O Allah forgive my sin, cleanse my heart and guard my chastity.") and "al-laahum-ma in-ne a‘oodhu bi-ka min mun-ka-raatil akhlaaq wal a‘maali wal ahwaa’" (O Allah, I seek refuge with You from abominable morals, actions and desires.).

    Sex inside of marriage is not forbidden, but there are times when it is disliked or forbidden (for example, when fasting or going on pilgrimage). Otherwise, it is considered to be a blessing from Allah. Addiction, on the other hand, is harmful; the Prophet forbade against causing harm to oneself or others.

    Yes, you are allowed to eat or drink when you're in a state of janabah. However, you must perform ghusl before touching the Qur'an or praying salah. Allah says in the Qur'an, "If ye are in a state of ceremonial impurity, bathe your whole body", so you must perform ghusl as soon as possible.

    It is not a major sin because there is not evidence to say that it is; however, it is still a forbidden act, and the Qur'an says, "Eschew all sins, open or secret! Those who earn sin will get due recompense for their deeds." Major or minor, we should avoid all sins.
