Why do I have the urge to drown myself after reading all these threads. Only the individual can decide whether porn...masturbation, etc. can have a negative impact on one's life. If you want to take the Biblical route, hey, then do it. It's wrong according to fundamentalist Christians. If you want to view these things as a normal part of human sexuality (within reason), do that. It seems you're asking for approval. You're the only one who can provide that for yourself.
