only if you repent

Okay, so you get it that porn is not a part of God's design and therefore is a sin. If you plan on watching more porn after communion, it is wrong to take it. You have to repent of your sins. This means to commit to not continuing in this practice. If you can't do this, then taking communion can actually cause you to get sick or even die.God's grace has been strongly at work on this point because we are so ignorant of His word. But if you look at the New Testament 1 Corinthians 11:27-32. I think you'll take a new perspective on the Communion Service.

Some people are addicted to such things, so they do not enter in to the act freely.
This could reduce the gravity of the offense, and make it a lesser one.
You should probably avoid receiving communion until you can get an official opinion on this matter from a priest (or two).

The bible says not to take communion in an unworthy manner.
Now, what do you think an unworthy manner would be? Are you struggling with wanting to stop looking at porn, or are you indulging yourself, thinking God doesn't care?

in the Catholic sect of Christianity you would would have to confess your sin first and serve a penitence before receiving Communion again.
But that depends on how deep you faith is . If you don't tell the priest first then how is he to know except to ask you before giving it to you.
Other sects do not require telling on your self unless you have a very guilty mind.

When I took catholic instruction, the priest told me that you cannot take communion while you are in sin. That means that you have to ask for forgiveness before you take it. But I see many catholics go up and take communion who shouldn't be. So I don't think it really matters.

I think you mean would you have to go to confession before receiving communion, if you have watched porn.
That really is up to you. Many people do not go to confession as much as they used to, but if it is bothering you and you feel unworthy... then yes, you should go to confession before receiving the blessed body of Christ.

You will need to go to confession. Viewing pornography is a grave sin.
Here is a good guide to examining your conscience in preparation for the sacrament of reconciliation:

Not in my church. God said to honor women. Watching women take off their cloths and preform sex does not honer them It treats them as trash for your pleasure,It is the same for men who star in porn. Theynare just degreading them self. Allfor the love of money.

ageoftvb,
Yes.
You need to partake worthily.
That's an adverb, describing the action, not the actor. Adjectives describe the actor and none are worthy.
If you can discern the Lords body in partaking of Commuion, you can take it properly. You don't need a church or a priest, you are doing it to remember Jesus.
