Is pornography moral?

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

I do think internet porn is damaging to people in ways we don't yet quite understand

I definitely agree with this. I think people have too blase and naive a view of pornography and the effect it has on people, especially on children and teenagers. Internet pornography and the huge and instant access to video pornography especially is an entirely new and unprecedented thing, and I'd be surprised if there aren't at least some harmful psychological, social, etc. aspects to it.

I still wouldn't call pornography immoral though.

There's already evidence that it's very harmful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSF82AwSDiU

What's wrong with Objectification anyway?

Would someone explain this me without trying to psychoanalyze porn consumers.

Objectification is fine while thinking about sexual impulses but the modern medium that pornography rests on has the potential to make this objectification a compulsive behavior that transcends sex and becomes omnipresent in social interactions between genders. If you're in a room with average college age American males, the danger of pornography to exacerbate already established gender norms becomes apparent.
