Depends on your definition of sin. Sin is a Judeo-Christian term, so it would depend on your beliefs and interpretation of the Bible. Given that wearing a hat inside according to the Old Testiment was considered a sin, I wouldn't be surprised if watching pornography would be considered sinful by some or many.

There are several base attitudes towards sex that have evolved throughout history: sex is spiritual, sex is for reproduction only, sex is harmful, and more common in this post-modern world - sex is simple animalistic function. If you ascribe to the sex is for reproduction only, sprititual, or harmful attitudes then I think you might have some difficulties in creating a moral or logical argument that supports watching pornography. I don't see how watching porn would help you get "closer to God", it certainly does treat sex as a means of reproduction, and if sex is harmful you certainly wouldn't want to watch it.
