Pro-porn, anti-porn or in between?

Vincent stated that he had scientific proof of it being unhealthy. And he didnt.

Of course he doesn't. That would be like having scientific proof of sex being unhealthy.

There's actually a bit of controversy over the meaning of pornea. It's not clear anymore what it means exactly. The best translation of it I've heard is simply "sexual immorality."

That's not a good translation. It's a loose translation and completely wrong. Pornea does not mean anything to do with "morality" it has to do with sex acts, not with morals. "sexual deviants" would be closer to the meaning than "sexual immorality". Pornea would certainly not even include viewing pornography, because it doesn't concern itself with morality.

What sex acts are you thinking of? I'm not saying it means to include masturbation. It's a vague term that doesn't specify anything specifically apart from its immediate context. "Sexual immorality" could mean many things. Porneia literally means prostitution but its use suggests a less literal intent. In the way it's used, the word is best understood to be "doing something bad in a sexual sense" (whatever "bad" means).

Same with the word that has been traditional translated as homosexual. That word isn't clear to many scholars anymore either.

And what word would that be exactly?

Two words actually: malakoi and arsenokoitai. The meaning of these words seems to be unclear and there are arguments that they don't have to do with homosexuality, at least in the way we think of homosexuality. Robert M. Price gives an overview of the debate among critical scholars over what the bible says on homosexuality at 23:10 here: http://www.thehumanbible.net/episode_007/
