Gemini, to be clear, none of these things are "wrong", but not everything is equally helpful in terms of spiritual progress. A major aim of 3D is to learn to live in the knowledge that all is One Divine Consciousness, to see through and beyond the illusion of the physical. Porn works directly against that; it takes a person, carrying the consciousness of the Infinite Creator within him or her, and transforms them in our perception into an object for our sexual gratification. So, is that wrong? no. But it works directly against our efforts at spiritual progress.
In other words, someone does get hurt, in the only way that really matters - spiritually. That person is the viewer.
That is only if you have the perception that they are an object for your gratification. The mere viewing of porn or any other material doesn't immediately necessitate any particular perception. It seems like you are attributing the characteristics of the perception to the catalyst rather than acknowledging that each individual will perceive and interpret for themselves. What it seems you are saying is someone who perceives porn in a certain way is acting against themselves spiritually, but your words suggest that the mere sight of such a thing causes one to act against themselves and that doesn't make sense to me. The catalyst is catalyst. What the catalyst becomes in the individual depends on that individual.
