However, that verse is meaningless without the one that follows it:

Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done
and what I had toiled to achieve,
everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind;
nothing was gained under the sun.

Is anyone here going to say that pornography is a good thing, a positive development of the past 40 years? Apparrently it causes a lot of damage to people. It's one thing to say you have a "right" to it, but another thing if it takes over your life and ruins your life or marriage.

Nah. Citing Ecclesiastes is tricky; it's not an argument for permissiveness but rather an assertion that everything is meaningless outside the context of God. That book in particular has got to be taken as a whole, not piecemeal.
