I wouldn't call it the root of all evil, but I would say it destroys an intimate act and reduce it to an animal act. Overtime, the viewer will become to think of it as such.

Porn is a lot of things, it can be evil, many people have been used and abused. Mostly it's a business, and a good movie can really be a turn on. I think 99% of them are just boring as hell.

Nothing wrong with porn. The root to all evil is evil itself

Porn is a multi BILLION industry. Today porn stars are household names! Not a person reading my response hasn't heard of Jenna Jameson! As a man I will be honest in saying that yes! I like porn! And I like it even more when I'm watching it with my wife! Of course setting up a webcam and making your own porn is even better! Unless you're a celebrity!

No; it is not the "root of all evil."
First, let's refer to it as erotica. Porn is just a pejorative term, and what I would call the "cheaply made stuff."
Erotica has been around for thousands of years. It began as painting, sculpture and poetry, and eventually evolved into literature, photography, acting, and video.
Erotica is simply an alternative form of sexual arousal; it is harmless fantasy and nothing more.
Regarding fantasy, Helen Fisher ("The First Sex," Ballantine Books, Feb. 2000) says that 71 percent of men and 72 percent of women fantasize while having sex with a partner. Men fantasize about conquest and domination, women about submission and surrender.
Dr. Joyce Brothers says, "It might relieve some of your guilt to know that many happily married individuals who have no thought or intention of ever betraying their spouse have sexual fantasies about someone other than their spouse."
Both men and women (single and in a relationship) have shown a desire to enjoy erotica in some form.
The latest estimates are that Americans now spend somewhere around $10 billion a year on adult entertainment, which is as much as they spend attending professional sporting events, buying music or going out to the movies.
The erotic industry employs in excess of 12,000 people in California. And in California alone, it accounts for $36 million in taxes every year.
Comcast, the nation's largest cable company, pulled in $50 million from adult programming, and an adult spokesperson estimated that DirecTV pulls in a few
hundred million annually.
Hilton, Marriot, Hyatt, Sheraton and Holiday Inn all offer adult films on in-room pay-per-view television systems. And they are purchased by a whopping 50 percent of their guests, accounting for nearly 70 percent of their in-room profits. One hotel owner said, "We have to have it. Our guests demand it.”
There are well over 800 million rentals of adult videotapes and DVDs in video stores across the country, and that's not 800 guys renting a million tapes each.
As long as a partner is taking care of his/her obligations and responsibilities (job, family) and seeing that the other person is being fulfilled sexually, there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with enjoying alternative forms of arousal.

Pornography is bad, sad to say many become addicted to it. Young girls (daughters) get caught up in promiscuous sex and get STDs. Men have less respect for marriage and fidelity and women are becoming more the same as well.
I don't have a problems with nudity as the human form is beautiful. but porn isn't beautiful.
