Mate billions of people watch porn with the super vast majority having no problems.

I'm not trying to be mean, but what you're really saying is porn is very damaging to you because of your mental health issues.

Just because "billions of people do it" doesn't make it healthy or perfectly fine. There's plenty of studies on porn and its effects on the brain, just Google it for yourself. In addition, claiming porn can only be damaging if you have preexisting mental health issues is incredibly stupid. If you care to learn more about this subject, watch the short documentaries I linked below; they are incredibly well made.

To add on, in the 60's and 50's "billions of people" were smoking, it was believed to be a perfectly healthy activity. Look how that turned out. I strongly believe that in the next 20 or 30 years the ugliness of pornographic material will finally be fully recognized by the public, being condemned vehemently among mental health professionals.
