Darwin cooncept of propogating the species, NOT God, or Religion, but because sex with someone else spreads the distribution of Genes, porn is the modern equivilant of this, as marriage was and is invented by the concept of god., makes no sense genetically

Genetically what is required for success is for your offspring to make it to reproductive age: eats, roots and leaves doesn't achieve this in a species that has as large a period of dependence as Homo sapiens.
It separates the person from a sexual encounter and there is safety in that distance. It enables the viewer or reader to escape the shame, the sin vs virtue morality associated with an actual sexual encounter. The victims in literary or visual porn are not hurt, they come back for more and more, similar to De Sade's victims.
Emotions in porn are typically simple and direct. When they are not, such as in Anias Nin , DH Lawrence, Henry Miller or the Cocky Boys, and the performance art of Marina Abramović et al it become erotica.

Because people don't normally get the women or man they want, so they are left to please themselves. Males get off by sight more than females do.

I believe it is popular because it is easy to NOT think while watching it. It's easy to not think of your dignity. It's easy to not think about the feelings of your significant other. However it is easy to indulge in your self gratification. I don't care for the stuff myself but I get why some would.
