Porn, blessing or curse?

This one made me laugh out loud.

Listed as a con for porn:

"Promotes promiscuity, especially in teenagers."

No survey shows this in any reliable way.

"Encourages extramarital sex, thus undermining the institution of marriage."

No survey shows this in any reliable way.

Porn, like any form of expression, spoken, written, visual, or some combination of these, is like any other. It is both a blessing and a curse, and it can't be judged as a category, any more than murder mysteries encourage people to go out and kill people.

We should recognize every form of expression as sacred, while at the same time relentlessly critiquing each act of expression. Though I have to say that I could do without spam.
