When I was in college I had a class called "Logic 101", which was was an introduction to classical logic and argument. The instructor was a crusty old dude who didn't give a shit about other people's opinions and would talk about anything so long as it was tangentially related to being able to make an argument and logically defend it. At one point the topic of discussion in class ping-ponged over to porn and whether it was good or bad.
He started with the aforementioned argument that I posited, and backed it up with this example: When he was younger, he worked in a distribution warehouse as a forklift operator. At various times during his shifts, he said, you would hear a shout go out through the warehouse, and a majority of the workers would flock to whichever loading dock sounded the alert. Upon reaching the dock, you would see the men tearing into a skid of magazines, and passing around the latest issues of whatever porno mags were there. They'd all laugh and hoot about it for ten to twenty minutes, and then when they were done they'd just throw the mags on the ground and go back to their duties. At that point, he'd be driving over the discarded images of women showing off the airbrushed versions of what their momma gave them, which, while normally retailing for a decent sum, were obviously worthless. The men got bored with the pictures so quickly they didn't even bother to throw the magazine away, much less take the copy of it with them - and this was in the day when there was no Internet.
So yeah, porn, while an interesting distraction, really isn't worth it. Dudes should respect themselves more and go do something worthwhile, improving themselves and their lives, instead of wasting time with their hog in their hand.
