Hi, everybody! Nice to see you again!
Well, this thread is rather long already, so I did not read it all, but I express my opinion about the original question:
Porn definitely has some efect on children as well as adults, as any other information, as any other meme we are exposed to. But the exact nature of this influence varies largely between individuals. So there is no general answer.
What can be a problem is that lot of porn (that comes, for instance, into my email box everyday - against my wish) is not about "healthy sex". This can have some undirect negative impact.
Life has no meaning but itself.
