It's healthy if, like drinking alcohol, it's done in moderation. If it's an addiction then, much like drugs and alcohol, it is no longer healthy.

The thing is, not every person who looks at porn is addicted to it, and I think that's where your leap is taking you. Porn CAN be a good thing. Anything that's good for someone is good in moderation. Anything in excess isn't good- so the same is with porn, cigarettes, alcohol, gambling, etc. I think the reason you are having such a problem here is that you're making the leap and the assumption that all porn leads to a porn addiction- and that simply just isn't so.

There are people who are addicted to exercise. Yep- exercise. People are addicted to food, people are addicted to their jobs.

Addiction is bad, that does not mean that exercising, eating and having a job are bad.

Sex is normal and natural. Taking a photograph of something normal and natural does not suddenly change it into something obscene.

I don't have time to answer this Q. I have to get on shufuni.

I must be the most healthy guy walking around to date...lol j/p

I think a lot of men use pornography as a "harmless" outlet for their natural tendencies to "spread their wild oats". In that respect, it can be healthy in maintaining a monogamous relationship. Like many things, however, using it to excess can be unhealthy.

I cant see how it can be "healthy", however, I dont see that there's a problem with a man, OR a woman looking at porn providing their partner is OK with it. I dont look at it myself because I believe that you're a better man for it and your relationship with your partner can be weakend by staring at other naked women.

You'll notice it's mostly men who say that porn is healthy. Men seem to think they are wired differently than women, when that really isn't the case and they are just looking for excuses to look at porn (isn't that a symptom of addiction? hmmmm).

Addiction is never a good thing, even if you're addicted to something relatively benign like shopping.

Normal people don't get addicted to porn. Like an addiction to shopping, or gambling, you have to be predisposed to addictive behavior.

People get addicted to the internet, too, but does that mean we should protest internet use?

Meh, I don't really care, I dislike porn for other reasons other than it's addictive nature.

Porn is not good, makes guys thing about other women instead of just the one they are with. I think people are a little crazy to think its health. Its bad even if tampered with thats all. I was vary shocked to hear that women were giving the 'ok' about it. Oh well its a personal thing. As for my girlfriend and I no thanks.

I think maybe you have substitued words here. If you look around you might see people saying that a man looking at porn is not out of the ordinary or is normal. I don't think you find many people out there saying it is specifically healthy. Just like alcohol can be good for the body in moderation, there are some who take a drink and become alcolholics. Their genetic makeup makes them predisposed to this. Porn can be very similar.
