"..persistent compulsive use of a substance known by the user to be harmful.."
Many people don't see pornography as any harm to self unless it takes over their lives.
However, it can still be considered detrimental because it creates lust in your heart and because it infects your mind.
Your addiction isn't a serious case but quitting a bad habit is always a good idea.
Meditate on how disgusting you think it is and think about its consequences - how bad they are. Think of the worst things you can think of associated with porn. Concentrate on each thought. Tell yourself, "I am not going to watch porn anymore, I hate it."

5 minutes a day is not an addiction. There is nothing wrong with porn, if you enjoy it.
Carry on. But if you must stop, your only option is to go cold turkey. Just stop watching porn, or switch on parental controls if you must.
