Is it? The porn movie industry is huge, and those tend to be bought by a wide cross-section of "normal" people for the purposes of, er, "pleasure". I don't think the typical porn film "corrupts and depraves" people, does it?
That's why I was asking whether there was a difference between "legal" pornography (which now in the UK covers an extremely wide range of material, sold through licenced sex shops) and erotic literature. They seem to me to be merely two different aspects of the same thing - to bring the reader/viewer a form of pleasure. I certainly don't see them as either corrupt or depraved, but perhaps I've just been so corrupted and depraved through my viewing of such material that I no longer notice
