Pornography is NEVER part and parcel to an active or healthy sex life. This part of my argument cannot be denied. It's fact.

But, take a look at another issue. That woman you are watching is someone's daughter. Would you want thousands of men to be achieving sexual gratification to your daughter? At some point, men need to be men and it's not by sexually gratifying yourself to a television screen. That girl you are watching is a person, a real life person and you should respect them more than that. THEY should respect themselves more than that. To do otherwise is to simply state that you do not care about that person. That your sexual needs are more important then the worth of that individual or your own marriage.

Before you go off defending your positions here, take a look at the statistics regarding pornography. It is staggering. After you comprehend what it is you just read (statistics) imagine those statistics being about your own daughter. It has to change your viewpoint at least slightly. Pornography is never innocent. Somewhere, somehow, someone is being hurt by your activities. The sad thing is that often times, that someone resides in your own home and you are not even cognitive enough to be aware of it.
