Is pornography inherently immoral?

An interesting quote on the functionality of pornography from a feminist perspective: “Pornography breaks cultural and political stereotypes, so that each woman can interpret sex for herself. Anti-feminists tell women to be ashamed of their appetites and urges. Pornography tells them to accept and enjoy them. Pornography can be good therapy. Pornography provides a sexual outlet for those who – for whatever reason – have no sexual partner. Perhaps they are away from home, recently widowed, isolated because of infirmity. Perhaps they simply choose to be alone. Couples also use pornography to enhance their relationship. Sometimes they do so on their own, watching videos and exploring their reactions together. Sometimes, the couples go to a sex therapist who advises them to use pornography as a way of opening up communication on sex. By sharing pornography, the couples are able to experience variety in their sex lives without having to commit adultery.”

If not, what do we have to blame for these perceptions?
If so, how is this idea being popularized.

I’m uncomfortable with the declarations that pornographic material automatically creates rapists and abusers. When it comes to those kinds of things do you think it is sating potentially dangerous lusts for people who automatically have violent urges, or is it just forcing those desires to manifest?

Those of you who think that pornography is inherently immoral… is liberated sexuality an unnatural and negative thing to be avoided? Does it harm or help a relationship. (To avoid the no-sex-before-marriage debate, assume that the individuals are married… to each other.

Please, lets lay off of the simplistic religious debate (its wrong because so-and-so said) and copy-pasting. Citations are fine as long as you explain them and your use of them.
I’d rather have this be a question of human sexuality and not divine doctrine.

Also, there’s really not that much reliable research about this stuff. Most of it comes out of very biased organizations. If you decide to list this and that study, they’re expected to at least be somewhat unbiased.
