Do you think pornography is harmful to you, and can it be inferred that pornography is also harmful to others? This is the reason why your viewpoint is not accepted by others

If you search YouTube for "effects of porn addiction" you will find mostly clips from secular sources. A lot of scientists/psychologists say it's harmful

    This is not an argument. You can find sources saying anything you want on YouTube. If you want to be taken seriously, you need more than random videos or a Wikipedia article.

    Sources? A lot of studies show it’s fine.

  • addiction to anything is harmful. You might as well have said using porn unhealthily is unhealthy. It's a tautology, and it's moving the goal posts disingenuously.

    The argument is about moderate use, just like any other vice.

    • Even cocaine or heroin can be used responsibly, but there's a reason it's banned

Yes, pornography is harmful, for everyone, for people who watch at and many of those who participate in its production. No exception, it's a bad thing and it's a shame that society is being okay with it.
