I found a very shocking but insightful and important article here. As someone who struggles with temptations to look at pornography, knowing this sort of information can help us to overcome what we do by remembering the victims of this evil industry. Some people may find this material hard to read. It goes into some sexual details, but is not anything overly explicit and in meant to convey the degrading treatment of the women who are conned or abused into acting as if they are enjoying this treatment, but what is in reality cleverly edited.

"
Shelley Lubben (left) believed she was ready to shoot her first porn film. She was in for a shock*: ‘When I walked in, it’s like a dark satanic anointing just fell on me*. It was creepy, it was dark, it was eerie, and it was nothing like prostitution. I knew I was in the devil’s territory; this was the final frontier of Satan.’
During the little satanic ritual that followed she hit rock bottom: *‘I sold what was left of my heart, mind and femininity to the porn industry and the woman and person in me died completely on set.’ *
Then something remarkable began to happen; Shelley’s survival instincts kicked in and she re-connected with the Christian God of her childhood and, after taking a long and slow period of rehab to recover from her ordeal, she started on a crusade to expose the reality of porn.
She has marketed herself as a charismatic public figure in the televangelist style, telling her life story in a confessional manner as an entertaining way to deliver her message. The hub of her operation is the Pink Cross, a charity that launches fierce grassroots activism and collects data on the industry.
There is one overriding truth to Shelley’s work; behind whatever thin veil of glamour they might masquerade with: porn stars are prostitutes. Delete any notion in your mind of a glamorous ‘porn star’ now.
Using Shelley’s research, I have written this article with the hope that it will act as a wake up call to men in the western world with an addiction to a quite pathetic act; self-pleasure to film footage of prostitutes at work."

You are right. This is an important article because it dispels the fantasy. The salient feature of pornography is that it involves fantasy. Where do those dollars go when you purchase that magazine, enlist on that website, purchase that DVD? And what is the cost in life and dignity?

So try analyzing the fantasy when the temptation emerges. What assumptions are you making about what you are seeing and who you are in relation to it? Are they real? And if not, then what are you really doing there?
 
I totally agree with you. Porn, internet porn at least, should be illegal. I think it is a big factor in the reason people are having so much casual sex today, and the objectification of women.

I find this ridiculous (about porn star Megan Leigh):

Her body was discovered on June 16, 1990[2] at her home in Solano, California. She had died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.[3] According to former porn performer and message board contributor Brandy Alexandre, an autopsy discovered a lethal dose of Valium in Leigh’s system. Porn historians, including Luke Ford, have said that Leigh had recently entered a lesbian relationship and had moved in with her girlfriend, when her family reportedly denounced her for her decision to enter into a same-sex relationship.
  • so they denounce her gay relationship but were fine with her starring in porn films?! Some parents…
