Like many things of the mind, if you believe that too much porn is affecting your libido then obviously it is quite possible that it is affecting your libido.
I don't think that porn is bad, obviously. What is possibly bad is a society that all of a sudden finds itself with no limitations - we can see whatever we want, whenever we want and as much as we want. While there are folks who are balanced and disciplined enough to handle the key to the candy store with restraint - they can go in, take what they need and leave - there are many others who cannot. It's what makes an addict, an addict. And unlike most 'classic' addictions there aren't any practical limitations such as money or even having to leave your home to 'score.'
But that said, like plan9 referred to, internet porn is only one of many modern day temptations that people are indulging themselves with in excess. To me, that is really the more troubling phenomena. Looking at 300 of anything before getting out of the bed in the morning probably means you have a problem.
