From Zig Ziglar in See You At The Top:
To build a healthy self-image, there are some things you must avoid. Pornography is the primary one. Literally everything 
that goes into your mind has an effect and is permanently recorded. It either builds and prepares you for the future or it tears down and reduces your accomplishment possibilities for the future.
Psychologists say that three viewings of … 'X-rated' films or television programs have the same psychological, emotional, destructive impact on your minds as one physical experience. These films or programs present mankind at its worst and when you see your fellow man degraded, you, in effect, see yourself degraded.
It is impossible to view mankind at its worst and not feel that your own value has diminished and you can neither be nor do any better than you think you can or are.
John I had thought for awhile that pornography had a bigger effect on people than was traditionally thought. Thanks for bringing this to light. Does Zig expound on it more in his book?
I believe that with the advent of the internet and more and more usage everyday pornography will become an epidemic in our society.
