I don’t buy the “revealed a latent fetish” explanation. I don’t think people are born with a fetish baked into their soul.

Like, the people with the “blueberry expansion” one, you really think they were born with that? No, of course not, that would be dumb.

I think the main reason people put forth the “latent fetish” explanation is in order to argue that pornography is harmless.

As for why it harms me?

The purpose of sexuality is for relations with one’s spouse. On average, I expect it to be counterproductive in that regards. Most women wouldn’t find it appealing, and looking for specifically women who would find the idea appealing would substantially restrict the pool to search among. Also, most of the versions of the fantasy I have violated conservation of energy, and therefore cannot be physically achieved. Why would I want to want something impossible?

And, generally, lust promotes lust.
