As for who needs it, I couldn't give you a psychological breakdown. I know there are a lot of single people out there, people who are not getting sex in their marriage, or even people who do have someone and enjoy the stimulation of watching porn with their partner. I know that billions of dollars of it are sold every year. Hotels, cable networks, and newstands carry it for a reason. Cell phone porn is expected to do over $3 billion by 2011 and companies like Girls Gone Wild somehow continue to profit from running late night commercials.
So you can continue to say people don't need it, or there is little desire by the public for it, but the people and companies who have made millions and will continue to make millions would disagree.

Even if you are correct in the estimated 40 million Americans view pornograpy regularly...this would represent approximately something over 13%...which is still a relatively small percentage of Americans. The study showed that 9% regularly view pornography. Four percent more would not be much of a difference between your figure and the study's figure...and that would indicate that "normal" well adjusted people do not have a need nor the desire to spend their time viewing porn...now wouldn't it?
