@kaoru_san22 provided they do not become addicted?
If our answer is yes, then porn is not inherently* bad even though it is under the circumstances you described.
Some people, particularly those from a religious background, would say that this situation is still not permissible!
@kaoru_san22 Or letโs put the question this way: imagine a species S, whose members have a specific neurological structure such that seeing a particular colour arouses them sexually.
Is it morally permissible for members of species S to use that colour for sexual arousal when they are alone
@kaoru_san22 The question is: is it permissible to consume a material featuring people (of any gender, consensually, and without harming anyone) engaging in sexual activity for the sake of sexual pleasure?
@kaoru_san22 I think what they had in mind was the consumption of porn, not its production; producing it encourages the sexualisation and exploitation of women โ even consuming it supports that, albeit to a lesser extent.
