There's a lot of bad opinions in this thread, mostly, i suspect from people who cannot nofap.

To summarize, as far as I know there is no scientific consensus on the use of porn, (or fapping). But there is a very good argument that being exposed to extremely atractive prospective mates (porn, or a qt3.14) was a rather rare experience for our ancestors. For millions of years.
We exist in a tiny sliver of a couple of generations that have access to porn, cigarettes, junk food, entertainment, etc..
Most of which will destroy your body if consumed indiscriminately.
I would posit that regular consumption of porn represents an over-stimulation to several mental, psychological etc.. mechanisms.
Getting such a strong neurochemical blast (as one does when fapping to pron) is not normal.

I don't pretend to know what is good or not, but you should consider how this behavior could affect your brain's reward system, and thus other aspects of your life.
