Society views it as wrong and vulgar, thanks to the Victorians who considered sex to be taboo and to never be open about it. Before the Victorian era depictions of sex were very commonplace.

Because you live with your parents?

i think it because most people realize that they don't what to see any of their friends naked and figure none of the people around them want to see them naked either. i don't really know but thank GOD most people do.

1) People in the US watch porn at home because it is the law: "In the United States, distribution of "obscene" materials is a federal crime. The determination of what is obscene is up to a jury in a trial, which must apply the Miller test; however, due to the prominence of pornography in most communities most pornographic materials are not considered obscene by the Miller Test. In 1967, Denmark decriminalized pornography with few adverse effects, and the following year, the United States Supreme Court held that people could view whatever they wished in the privacy of their own homes." Source and further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pornography One main reason for this law is that many people don't even want to be confronted with nudity against their will, and certainly not with public display of sexual acts. Moreover, there is a large consensus that children should not be confronted with sexuality. 2) As watching porn usually makes us sexually excited, we prefer not to do it with other people with whom we do not envisage to have a sexual interaction. 3) Children would watch porn alone and hiding because their parents generally don't allow them to do it. 4) Persons who are in a relationship could watch porn alone and hiding because their partner disapproves of them doing it. Moreover, especially if the person watching porn doesn't want to involve their partner when they do it, this will often be considered by their partner as a form of betrayal. 5) Many people are still very strongly influenced by Victorian moral: "The depiction of sexual acts is as old as civilization (and can be found painted on various ancient buildings), but the concept of pornography as understood today did not exist until the Victorian era. Previous to that time, though some sex acts were regulated or stipulated in laws, looking at objects or images depicting them was not. In some cases, specific books, engravings or image collections were censored or outlawed, but the trend to compose laws that restricted viewing of sexually explicit things in general was a Victorian construct. When large scale excavations of Pompeii were undertaken in the 1860s, much of the erotic art of the Romans came to light, shocking the Victorians who saw themselves as the intellectual heirs of the Roman Empire. They did not know what to do with the frank depictions of sexuality, and endeavored to hide them away from everyone but upper class scholars. The moveable objects were locked away in the Secret Museum in Naples, Italy and what could not be removed was covered and cordoned off as to not corrupt the sensibilities of women, children and the working class. Soon after, the world's first law criminalizing pornography was enacted by the Parliament of the United Kingdom in 1857 in the Obscene Publications Act. The Victorian attitude that pornography was for a select few can be seen in the wording of the Hicklin test stemming from a court case in 1868 where it asks, "whether the tendency of the matter charged as obscenity is to deprave and corrupt those whose minds are open to such immoral influences." Despite the fact of their suppression, depictions of erotic imagery were common throughout history."

This is particularly true for Puritans of various Abrahamic religions. For instance: "Matthew 5:28 (New International Version) 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
