I don't think all pornography is harmful. Most people have used it, and relatively few people have long-standing problems with it. Then again, I don't fully get the appeal of it, being one who has viewed but never used it. I get more (sexually, not just aesthetically) from a painting of a beautiful woman than from a video of some man fucking her, often in some degrading way. I have a beauty addiction. I'm addicted to beautiful imagery and experiences. Sexually, this means that I need emotions and context, and only have serious interest in sex with a romantic partner. Porn does nothing for me. But then again, my mind is very female for a man's, possibly due to a case of high-IQ androgyny (smart men tend to be effeminate; smart women, tomboyish). The real problem is not limited to pornography but to cultural garbage-- disrespect for sexuality and humanity-- in a broader sense. Excessive and extreme pornography certainly can damage mens' ability to have fulfilling relationships, as does casual sex (porn acted out). On the other hand, Sex and the City has the same ruinous effect on women.
