I don't really see what the big deal with pornography is. According to the Supreme Court of America pornography is;

'Any act that has no artistic merit and causes sexual thought'

I love hearing Bill Hicks rebuke to this point.

'Gee that sounds like... every commercial on television'

The depiction of consensual sex should not cause one to feel guilty or shameful. Of course some gender stereotypes are sometimes ridiculously exaggerated in pornography but then again every form of entertainment has a habit of doing this. I don't think everyone who watches porn is instantly going to view all females as so-called 'sluts'. I certainly haven't gone down that route.

Sex is better of course but requires a great deal more work to bring about. For single people with no relationship prospects then mastubation is perfect - it relieves stress, lowers heart-rate and feels good too. It is a natural desire, just like breathing, although less urgent on a survival basis.
