Most people wind up in hell (Matthew 7:13-14). You can't base your opinion on if everyone went to Heaven, because it says few (Probably still in the millions/billions area, but Hell would outnumber it by a lot) actually go to Heaven

People that are addicted to porn, sex (In some cases), and/or drugs when they die probably won't go to Heaven (1 Corinthians 6:9)

It would be considered retrictions for the people that end up in Heaven, it would be "Now I can live eternity with ever doing those things again, along with peace.". They aren't slaves because they willingly do it.

In other words:

The people that think of Heaven (A place of eternal peace), resticting won't go there in the first place, because they want to live in a sinful lifestyle.

Ok, I'll play along with your line of reasoning...

I'm not addicted to anything.  It would be nice to be able to have some fun in heaven.  For instance,  no porn - let me watch the Victoria Secret fashion show.  No drugs - let me smoke a cigar.  No booze either - gimme a Sharp's then.  No sex with strangers - let me bang my girlfriend/ wife.  Now, am I still a sinner?

Furthur, everybody sins at least a little throughout their lives.  That's what confession is for - to be absolved of your sins.   That's what last rites are also for.  Are you telling me those two key tenets, of at least Catholicism, are not valid? 

My primary point is that you cannot have free will in heaven,  and thus, without free will you are someone's slave, to put it bluntly.

To make it quick, basically, since the people chose to obey God on Earth, they get rewarded in Heaven, where they can continue to do it. He isn't forcing it on them because they want to obey him.
