Here's a few things you didn't list:
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.
Women should take note that there is a very successful series of erotic anthologies called "Herotica." The stories are all written by female authors - not male!
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.
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.

Do not worry about it. All men look at and enjoy porn! It means nothing! Most will not have a problem with it. The asian thing is just like a fantasy for him. My husband had a huge stash before we got married and i told him he needed to get rid of if before i moved in . he did and i let him keep a couple and we watch them together once in a while. My advice is offer to watch with him . Let him know him seeing it often bothers you but once in a while you will see it with him. Do not let it make you feel bad. I did that in my last relationship and it lowered my self esteem. You are beautiful and never feel less than that!

The problem with this is you are mixing two types of porn together...the leagal porn and the illegal porn. Legal porn is fine, consentual and why shouldn't it be? Humans are very sexual creatures by nature.
Child porn is illegal and needs to be reported.
Now children viewing porn is just bad parenting because the parents should know what is going on in their house and on their computers.

What's the question?
Those statistics are disturbing though. Our culture is entirely too sex-obsessed (amongst other things). People are seeking satisfaction through superficial pleasures and distractions (sex, drugs, alcohol, tv, etc) when they should be seeking pleasure by helping others, volunteering, and exploring their spiritual beliefs. That is where true happiness lies.
