Its nothing more than mental stimulation.

Is the argument based on Christian theology or general (Christian-influenced) culture? Seems like if you want the theological view you should go to your pastor/priest/whatever...
Forgive me if this is too off-topic: I can't really address "sin" -- I'm utterly confused as to the basis for what is or isn't a sin -- but fwiw, I think pornography is neither good nor bad, but could be used for good or bad ends. If a lonely 18-year-old is using it to get off and learn at least a little bit about sexuality, that's good -- it helps him/her and hurts no one. If a couple are using it to enhance their own sex lives, that is also good. But if you are using to get off while ignoring your lover, that's bad... etc. The good or bad isn't really inherent in the pornography itself, but in how it is used.
