It is unhealthy. Not only does it make it so people have unrealistic expectation in bed (due to watching porn and thinking it should be the same) but also there are always victims in porn and the porn industry is full of human trafficking and minors showing up in porn is not uncommon on porn sites. It's just damaging to society and no, pleasure is not objectively a good thing. Just because something gives one pleasure doesn't make it good or even healthy. Life is not all about hedonism.

If you generate expectations from what you see in media they are always going to be unrealistic regardless of what it is. Every industry has its share of scum but you cant throw it all out because of bad people doing bad things. The fault lies within those people not the industry.

Not only does it make it so people have unrealistic expectation in bed That's more due to shitty sex ed. A good instructor will state clearly that porn isn't realistic.

but also there are always victims in porn and the porn industry is full of human trafficking "Always" is a big stretch here. Does it happen? Yes. But not always. And it's better handled through industry regulation than outright banning. All banning would do is drive it underground and make it even more exploitative

The major point of your argument is just an argument against capitalism.

Well, all communist countries have banned porn too. I think you're getting somewhere now. I don't like capitalism either because of its exploitative nature. Pornography is just harmful to society.
