This is an interesting take on the issue. I agree that many issues usually attributed to porn actually stem from developmental issues, and some people never develop a healthy understanding of human sexuality due to conflicting narratives and marketed fantasies taken literally. However, when people say that porn is dangerous, I do think the claim is justified in the sense that it can be insidious misinformation when a person has no healthy example to counter it - the same way that any form of brainwashing (cults, extremism, conspiracy theorism, etc.) are dangerous. It's a broader cultural problem as much as anything.

Basically agreed. The fog of ignorance pervades everything and makes us weaker.
