But I'm not going to get into it here. By no means do I come close to being able to follow perfectly, Catholic sexual ethics. But I try. Is what the Catholic church teaches really as crazy as people make it out to be?

While I do tend agree with the bolded statement, you do realize that masturbation is not the same as masturbation + pornography, right? One of those things can be harmful in the way you describe, and the other is just along for the ride.
I will let you guess which is which.
