There are certain things which are less controlled by laws and more controlled by our taste,culture and judgement and it's surely one of such things!
So it is our responsibility to decide whether to see or not.Keep away ourself is better.
It is totally based on an individual.He has to decide whether it is lawful or unlawful. :) :)
"THINGS ARE NEITHER GOOD NOR BAD BUT THINKING MAKES IT SO."-William Shakespeare. So legislation apart, its us and circumstances that make it good or bad by the way we use it or the way it occurs
An apt quote,Rajesh!Thanks for quoting it in an appropriate context!
Being far as much as it is possible is better with such things.
I also think that when some feels it is lawful he /she can see them privately.

Ravi you comment is same as ABid ..please change it..

I completely agree that avoiding is better.
I too agree that it is the choice of an individual and there is no doubt that it is a pernicious habit!
We can only forbid someone to watch pornography so far as they are minors and under our responsibility ! For thes res, it is simply a matter of personal choice and taste!

Ravi, I have found you are repeating others' comments on other threads too, Kindly refrain from doing so and state what you personally feel!
This is really a said decision on the part of the court
@Rajesh,
I liked the quote by William.S you shared here. :) :) :)

The decision by court is not sad. this is apt. Noting is vulgar in private. Is anything between a hsuband and wife vulgar? similarly, what one does while alone or not at a public place, is private and not unlawful. This is what court decided.
Watching porn not unlawful but will you wish to be addicted by daily practising its not good

I do not like porn and there is no question of visiting such sites. This is not desirable. But as this is lawful in private, those who like this may enjoy but not in public.
