Porn is the epitome of the “blue pill” for the modern man - it’s all of your greatest fantasies, at your fingertips, instantly - should you choose to engage. But none of it is real. It’s an illusion; and a prison.
In that sense, it resembles economic growth induced by government spending a lot. It looks good on a screen. But that’s it.
I don't know about that.
In my opinion, porn can be part of a healthy relationship. And in the absence of a relationship, it can be the next best thing.
In Korea, access to porn is blocked, pushing people to go outside of normal boundaries. Arguably leading to extreme cases of expression of one's sexuality, as exemplified by the Nth room case. This case involved lots of frustrated men that lost track of what is right and what is wrong.
Then again, one could also argue that too much access to porn is what led to this distorted worldview.
For me, it's all ok, either way. If my son, in a few years, wants to watch, just wanna make sure he does it without the feeling of guilt. While at the same time, knowing it is not a replacement for real relationships and knowing that what some porn actors do is not representative of what happens in most bedrooms.

Personally I believe that sexual energy can be transmuted into other types of creative energies, even though it is definitely not easy. A bunch of old spirituality/religious stuff is predicated on that whole notion, perhaps most famously the Tantric texts & teachings.
I've also read a little bit of the book "Muscle/Tendon Changing and Marrow/Brain Washing Chi Kung: The Secret of Youth" by Dr. Yang Jwing-Ming which goes into that subject very deeply as well.
