Question

Is Pornography a Form of Degeneracy?

Yeah, it is. Just because "most people" enjoy it, doesn't make it any less true. Just like smoking and alcohol is destructive to your body, regardless if "most people" enjoy one of those, too.

To be a better human being, is to try to rid yourself of these vices (and "sin," if you're also religious.) But people nowadays would rather lean into their vices and be proud losers and f*ck-ups, than work on self-improvement, like quitting the porn, fast food, weed, and booze. And no, I'm no perfect myself, nor do I judge people for watching porn. What I judge people on, is not admitting they have a problem and working to improve themselves, instead preferring to be a victim or "be proud" of their loser traits.

But yeah, watching or engaging in porn, is degeneracy to me. We just happen to currently live in a society that celebrates degeneracy.

So much evidence says it's overall unhealthy, harmful, and negative for men and women  For sometimes different reasons but overall bad nonetheless.

If all your doing is staring at your phone all day wanking into a crispy old sock then yes. But I don't think most guys are like that and a little porn can be  inspirational, even educational.

Porn has technically been around for ages just in print form and later on with videos and there are a bunch of arguments for and against porn just as how it has its pros and cons

There's too many different kinds of porn to be able to answer that. I think some porn is cool and other types of porn isn't very respectful in my personal opinion.

Porn is just the modern iteraton of cave paintings - something men show each other to motivate themselves to hunt. It can certianly be misused but of course that isn't its purpose.
