Manhood is Never X-Rated
According to John Eldredge, author of Wild at Heart, every man is searching for a beautiful woman. And whether married or not, many never give up the search. Why? Because men are not looking for romance, sex or a life-long partner. What we really want is validation or acceptance of our manhood.
And yet pornography only short-circuits that process. We may feel accepted and manly, but only for a moment. And like any addiction, the risks could be catastrophic to our health and families. That's why King Solomon gave this dire warning in Proverbs, chapter 6 - "Do not lust in your heart after her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes, for the prostitute reduces you to a loaf of bread, and the adulteress preys upon your very life."

Ecclsiasties 1:8 says, "The eye is not satisfied with seeing" we as men will NEVER get satisfaction from anything we look at. Yes, it might satify for the moment but were just going to go back to it the next day or night. That's a horrible cycle to be in.
God wishes for us to be satisfied in Him. Like John Piper says, "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him"..........
