lust, pornography, sexuality is like every single other thing in life. It has its benefits, but it also has its downfalls. And like most things that have benefits the downfalls come from it becoming a focal point in your life and taking it to the extreme. Masturbating for hours on end, watching extreme pornography and lusting after every person that walks by you isn't healthy.
If you can't balance your sexual desires then yeah it's not good for the individual or society. I like to look at things less from a moral perspective (because that's endlessly debatable) and more from a mental and societal health perspective. If you are sneaking out to jack off at work you have a problem, if you occasionally like to watch porn that's not illegal or deranged then whatever. Basically anything that's detrimental to your work or social life is bad for you, if you can add it into a balanced lifestyle and it's not hurting anyone then it's not a disorder. As far as it messing up relationships because it messes up expectations yeah that's possible, but sometimes your partner can also just be lazy and unhealthy and they are the ones killing the attraction and they are the ones driving you to the porn so it's really case sensitive.
