And obviously “making use” of it. Daily? Weekly? Twice X month?
When it affects work or personal relationships.

While I’m just a wage slave
That’s why WFH
Is done in a goon caveOr bathing and self care
IMO personal relationships kind of depend. Some people have unrealistic beliefs and expectations such that any consumption of pornography would be perceived as harmful. That’s pretty often the case with people that are religious fundamentalists.
I mean, I don’t usually talk about my porn viewing with friends. There’s only a handful of people I would talk about it with. As far as fundamentalists goes, while I do have friends who identify as Christian, I would have a hard time being around someone under the fundamentalist label. For reasons that don’t specifically have anything to do with porn.

The general measures of things like this are: is it causing a negative effect on you or others?
In a similar vein to pooping some people do every day, some twice or more, some a couple times per week. There’s a range of normal. If it’s not bothering you or anyone else it’s probably fine. (Though see your Dr if you only poop once a week, something’s weird there).
I’m gonna go with the blanket statement of:
If it’s getting in the way of your executive functions then it’s too much. If it takes any precedent over other things that you deem are your responsibility, then you need to take a step back.
If you’re thinking about it when you don’t have it, then it’s an addiction and it’s too much. If you reach the point of trying to watch it in places you shouldn’t be, it’s probably crossed that threshold.
If it’s interfering with other parts of your life like working, bathing, eating or paying bills most definitely a problem. A few times a day, week, month I don’t see a problem, however I like watching porn so there’s that.
