Are you using "porn" to mean superstimulus?

That seems kind of an odd terminology, considering that porn isn't necessarily a superstimulus. They may not have had realistic depictions of nude people in the ancestral environment, but they did have actual nude people.

Perfectly beautiful nude people, on demand, with infinite rapid novelty is a superstimulus.

Even the plausible, heavily watered down version of your statement is sufficient:

Attractive nude people, easily accessed, with a large amount of variety, is a super-stimulus.
