So you don't think men have a significant problem with pornography addiction, and/or viewing porn has bad effects on relationships between men and women?

Despite it being a conservative claim, and consequently people don't like it, the breakdown of the family is a very big problem.

I agree with you in principle. However, it seems that rape has declined with increasing exposure to pornography: http://jurist.law.pitt.edu/forumy/2006/06/rape-porn-and-crim...
Rape and murder and the like aren't the biggest problems. If you get rid of them by emasculating men and destroying human relationships, I'd say that's a bigger loss.

Why assume that "the family" is perfect as it is? If the freedom to trade money for videos is detrimental to a social structure, to limit freedom to preserve a social structure seems regressive.
