Objectified views of women? I guess some people might see it like that, but I don't. The women in these films weren't exactly forced to do them ya know. If porn causes a person to treat a woman like a piece of meat, that person has problems. It's just like a teenager who plays a violent video game and then imitates what they see. The thing itself isn't bad, it's just that the person has mental issues.
Emotional side of sex: Who says there has to be one? Why does there have to be one? In any case, porn doesn't really have any effect on that. In fact, in most cases, it makes the sex life that much more better
Desensitization to sex... not a bad idea, and also goes along with the above item. People have a tendency to think sex is more special than it really is. It's a part of life, people should accept it and live with it instead of making it out to be this big bad thing or something that only "two people in love" do. What's wrong with two complete strangers having a one night stand? As long as you're protected, nothing really wrong with it, especially if you can think outside of the box and learn not to attach your emotions to that event.
Rise of teen sex? How does porn cause that? In fact, I don't think porn even remotely plays a hand in that one. It's called hormones. It's been happening long before porn was made. In fact, it wasn't uncommon for a younger woman to be married (under 18) back in the old days.
Just because something can be misused to misinterpreted (porn "objectifying" women), doesn't mean it's wrong. If ya don't like it, don't watch it! If your religion says it's sinful and you believe your religion, then I guess it's kinda moot.
In any case, one can watch porn and completely have a normal healthy sex life, good emotional relationship with their partner, as well as lead a good life. In fact, most people already do that.
So to answer this subjective question with my opinion: from an outside perspective, one where I'm not sure if there is a god or not simply because it's impossible to answer, I see no reason whatsoever to find porn "sinful". I don't feel it has any more negative side effects on society than violent video games or alcohol have. Like with anything, it can be misused - it's ultimately up to the person to decide how they will act.
I do feel it's unfortunate that people have some mental issues to the point where porn causes them to treat women without respect, and it's also unfortunate that others blame porn for the bad qualities of society, but I guess they gotta blame something, right?
