Pro's: The obvious pros to pornography (or other sexually explicit media) are its ability to teach couples different ways to spice up their marraige and give them new ideas and ways of trying different things with their SO. It enables single people to have a visual in their self-sexual exploration. Sex sells. It helps some business attract a particular niche of clientele. It has some benefits in the medical field, i.e. Sperm Banks.
Con's: Sex sells. Not just porn, but sex in general is used in so many facets of advertising media that it is everywhere. Kids don't really have to search real hard these days to find sexually explicit material that is probably inappropriate for them to be seeing. Pornography promotes early sexual experimentation in kids. They see it and they want to do it. Unfortunately, they do it before they are aware of the full implications of sexual acts, whether it be pregnancy, disease, or even the emotional turmoil that comes with entering into a sexual relationship with someone.
Now, is it destroying lives and is it addicting? I think that is more of a scare tactic some conservative nut jobs are forcing down our throats. Brain patterns mirror that of cocaine and heroin? I think eating food mirrors the same brain patterns. Exercising mirrows the same brain patterns. However, you can't have a physical addiction to pornography so how they can even try to group porn into the drugs realm is just a bunch of hokey bullshit.
