Is it harmful? Does viewing it make the acts depicted more acceptable? If I (for example) had been photographed as a nubile teen doing things teens apparently do in porn pics and films would it have harmed me and my outlook on life?

I suppose we need a definition. So let's state that pornography is pictures which show the genitals, either in action or not, in company or not, with no consideration of age of the subject, and intended to stimulate the average viewer sexually. Other definitions will vary, but let's be consistent here.
