Maybe so, but is this something that can be considered so casually? Jesus said that if a man would even LOOK on another woman to lust after her, he has committed adultery. Why would pornography NOT be considered adultery, according to the Lord's standard?
I believe this should be dealt with just like if the man were actually having a sexual relationship with another woman - because in his heart he has. There can be forgiveness and healing and restoration, but the heart needs to be changed first, and there needs to be a commitment to faithfulness that includes making a covenant with his eyes. This is just as much marital infidelity as an actual affair (IMO).
