By no means is this meant as a universal be-all and end-all of porn, but I'm willing to believe it's largely the case.

The argument was addressing the impact of porn in general. It acknowledged how porn is often (usually?) a negative (i.e. degrading) view of women: objects of pleasure for men. But it points out the above as something that's not so obvious or simply overlooked: that men watching porn isn't necessarily "all good."

I think there is a difference between the scenario you outlined above and why many men consume porn: sure it's about getting off, but what is can become is more akin to sex addiction, sexual dysfunction, and other psychological issues. Some people have just the getting off, but none of the fun, especially when post-porn guilt is a factor.
