Is Porn Good, Bad or Some of Both– Depending on its Quality?

What do you think? Is porn a boon, a curse, nothing much or none of the above?

Is porn to blamed? For…

The breakup of relationships, violence, sexual pressure, body image problems for women and sexual addiction and dysfunction in men?

…or

Has porn helped couples?

Participants of both sexes in a 2007 study of more than 600 Danish men and women aged 18-30 found that self-reporting adults said that “hardcore” pornography had a positive effect on their lives. Researchers Martin Hald and Neil M. Malamuth asked the subjects to report the effects of hardcore porn consumption on “sexual knowledge, attitudes toward sex, attitudes toward and perception of the opposite sex, sex life and general quality of life.”

So…

Is all porn degrading or is some porn beautiful and (no pun) uplifting?

Can erotica be art, and also highly stimulating?

Reactions?

Moral teachings?

Opinions?

Rants please!

P.S. Since the Bible is sexually explicit is it porn?
