Ok, REALLY RANDOM OFF TOPIC NOTE:
Dont ask when, why or how i stumbled upon this website..
http://www.geocities.com/rdoder/page2.html

Uhm...i dont intend on getting into details...but i'd just leave it by saying its well written and proably will bring up a few points/ arguments you probably havent thought of before...Im just going to throw it out there and let it be taken from there..
But i will post part of its content:

" ..in addition, it leads us to an overemphasis on female beauty that skews the way we see and approach all aspects of life. We have become accustomed to focusing mostly on superficial appearance and we miss many other things. In our eyes, multidimensional women are reduced to the one dimension of division into two categories: ugly and beautiful. That is what we mainly focus on when we indulge excessively in porn. Think about the consequences. That leads to relationships based on physical attraction. Such relationships do not last because physical beauty does not last. In addition, that overemphasis lead to cravings for the perceived beautiful women and aversion for the perceived ugly women. Both are suffering, the cravings and the aversions. A better approach to life is to know that forms change and interchange, and all forms are fundamentally the same. They are just arranged differently and look different. In addition, forms are impermanent, they never last, and they interchange over time. Thus, chasing after the perceived beautiful form is like chasing after the wind. One minute the wind is there, the next minute the wind is gone. This approach to life is to see the truth and not be blinded by the superficial. Seeing the fundamental sameness in everyone is the beginning that allows us to love everyone..."
