Under the first scenario, porn is a moral wrong because first and formost it reduces, debases, depersonalizes, and objectifies human beings in order that they can be made use of by other human beings. This wrongful attitude has given rise throughout history to slavery and even worse, to cannibalism. When one 'uses' porn, he/she is in fact 'using' the objectified body of another human being.

The same critique could be leveled against anyone who "uses" a maid, plumber, doctor, actor, or cook.

When I make use of a cook, he really doesn't mean anything to me beyond satisfying my base need for food. I don't care about his feelings or the total complexity of who he is as a person. His only value to me is how well and how quickly he can make me a taco.

Does that make me an evil person? Is the cook somehow degraded or devalued by the job he does?

You're really stretching to make what isn't a credible point.
