you'd be hard-pressed to find a lot of medical professionals who are entirely against porn

Not what I said. All I said is that no professional prescribes pornography as any sort of medical advice and the prevailing attitude towards pornography in the medical world is to encourage people to consume it as a little as possible and limit exposure of it from teenagers and young adults. Coincidentally, these are by far the two largest consumer demographics of porn

Ah yes, the all important "prevailing attitude test" considered so important in diagnostic efforts. /s

Never heard of this 'prevailing attitude' and it does not make any sense either. What kind of harm could watching porn do to young adults and teens if it's something almost universally done by them for multiple generations? They mostly tuned out fine anyways, again excluding addicts.
