Modern porn is a problem, firstly it teaches you a lot of wrong things and gives you a bad understanding of how sex should be and what it means to be a respectful participent in a sexual encounter.
Another problem is the disturbing amount of human suffering in the porn industry. So many abused and raped and you can never know which is which, heck you can't even know if that "teen" is a 19 yo or a 15 yo since they will always say 18 but try to get the youngest possible.
There are healthy ways though, there is "ethical porn" (search it) which vets the actors and pays them fairly, it usually also is more soft and presents a much more realistic view of sex.
Just like any extremly rewarding action you should be careful not to get addicted to it.
P.S: don't confuse porn with masturbation, two different subjects with different issues.
As a cis man I watch female friendly porn. I'm disturbed by all the step-porn.
It's disturbingly common! I guess it's just the current trend of "inappropriate relationship", which used to be nurse/patient, teacher/student, boss/secretary, etc. It's more pathetic (to me) to see the cast "acting" as family members than to pretend to be a certified teacher. I've got to assume they roll their eyes whenever the camera stops rolling.
