Dude, jack all week, repent on Sunday. God will love you!
But seriously, if you are looking lustfully at the women or ughh men then yes. No the bible doesn't mention porn exactly, but what happened at Sodom and Gamora? The bible does though give reference to certain acts.

the bible isn't really clear on this. its kind of a gray area. Jesus is very black and white with lust though. I personally think that it depends on how your using it. If porn is getting in your way of seeing Christ and following him, yes its a sin, and if your lusting for the women in the porn, which is most likely what anyone does, then yes it is a sin. Also if this is an ongoing temptation to watch it or look at it, then its wrong also. I'm struggling with the same thing, what I finds to help is to ask the Holy Spirit to help you through this so you dont have temptation to look at it. When you do have temptation, then just pray to him and ask for his strength. another problem would be if your desiring this, and if you really dont want to stop it. Then you need to confront God, and tell him this, ask him for His strength in guiding you, and ask him if this is wrong. Nothing is too big for God. He is bigger than every problem, every desire, and every temptation.

Pornography is addicting and causes many troubles further down the road. Does this constitute a sin? Yes. It results in the loss of precious blessings that would have been there for you had you decided not to. I have suffered many hardships because of this dipelitating problem. STAY AWAY from this it will only harm you in the long run.

Some police or law enforcement officers may view such for the purposes of enforcement of the laws, etc. so watching it is not necessarily a sin.
If you watch it for your pleasure, the most likely it is sin. Most porn probably degrades women or is produced by abuse of children or having the appearances of such.
Confessing includes a remorse for doing wrong and an intention to forsake such sins.
Also, confess to God, and ask His help in your walking in the paths of righteousness.

Yes ...since that Jesus said in Matthew 5:27-28 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28. But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Fornication..is a word describing sexual sin...this can be physical or of the mind it overshadows all sexual sin..or I should say all sexual types of sin can be found in fornication..
The greek word for fornication..is Pornia found in the stongs concordance..consider the first 4 letters PORN...
Porn is mind sex basically ..because ..you are watching the act and not involved in it...by implanting the images in your mind you then in the mind can put yourself in the situation and that causes arousal...so even though you are not with the woman...you are still aroused ..and this causes you to imagine yourself with her..the same lust Jesus said if you lust after her you've already committed adultery...so yes it is sin.and telling a man about won't generate forgiveness..that comes from God ..give it to God..

I don't think so. No one alive can speak for God, but I do not believe that we are punished for such menial and petty things. I do believe that He would like us to respect ourselves and others, and watching porn doesn't exactly abide by that, but He made us the way we are, and the design of our body system creates the desire to do things like that, as well as have sex, eat food, etc.
I see that you must be Catholic if you are going to confession-if you want Catholicisms answer? Yes it's a sin. You will go to hell and burn for an eternity.
I, however, think that teaching is ridiculous.

No, porn isn't mentioned anywhere in the Bible. Photography was not around back when the Bible was written.

Yes, it isn't moral or ethical...what do you think? If you are questioning it than you know it is wrong.
How could you not have lust in your mind if watching it? That is ridiculous.

As long as it is of consenting adults and non-violent and as long as you don't have an obsessive problem with it.
Enjoy, dude.
