I guess the problem is where is the line drawn.

Exactly. We have a line drawn right now. It's drawn at minors only. Everything else is fair game. There are forces at work to erase even that line--by doing away with age of consent laws, etc.

I think a legitimate line could be drawn at "Playboy" type porn. Everything after that--the stuff that shows a gynocological view of a woman, or an 'excited' man, should be banned, IMHO. The auto-sexual pleasure some derive from it is far outweighed by the damage it inflicts on society at large.

For an anti-porn thread, there sure is a lot of jerking off going on here.

There was a time when a woman's ankles were considered obscene. If all involved in said "pornography" are consenting adults and no laws are broken, live and let live, I say.

I think

Your problem starts there. You have a completely subjective opinion.

How do you know that? Maybe Playboy porn is already too much for men to take? Or maybe not?

Everything after that--the stuff that shows a gynocological view of a woman,

Such as gynecological textbooks? Should only gynecologists see them? Would you trust someone who looked at gynecological textbooks and was so fascinated by it (including women) that they went into that line of work to get near your wife (or you if you're a woman)? Suppose they're getting their jolly while conducting exams? Why are they considered immune to being corrupted by it?

or an 'excited' man, should be banned, IMHO.

Good grief.

The auto-sexual pleasure some derive from it is far outweighed by the damage it inflicts on society at large.

And you got this from what? How about the damage that arbitrary bans based on personal taste and getting into other people's business does to personal liberty and free expression?

See your hypocrisy? It's okay to publish pictures of women's attributes that make you horny (breasts, pubic hair, butts) but not pictures that might make women horny (erections).
With you, it really comes down to my way or the highway, doesn't it?
