Does it have something to do with wasting 2nd chakra energies. When you deplete these energies does the energy body then become unbalanced? And is the point where you feel orgasm where your 2nd chakra is?
Does looking at porn that does not violate the free will of those participating deplete the 2nd chakra? Is there a reason that certain people abstain from porn?
Can one achieve greater spiritual fulfillment if one transcends above these?
In Eastern traditions they believe different thoughts and emotions can be let go off , being in an non-attached state of consciousness. From my understanding and experience this doesn't mean you no longer have the thought/emotion but you aren't affected by it, you view it with full awareness and acceptance. A good metaphor would be clouds in the sky, those clouds being different thoughts and the clear sky being the empty awareness of the mind. Watching the clouds go by without getting caught up in them.
I think watching porn creates some distortion because we are activating an energetic transfer between oneself and the entities in the video. It also creates a type of habit or lust as you put it because the prana is looking to be moved up to the Heart Chakra or green ray but is stuck at orange ray vibration.
