You are strawmanning me all through the first part of your post, accusing me of ridiculous things and just carrying on with the same, so I don't see the point of endlessly trying to answer you.
Song of Solomon is supposed to be stimulating and is admitted as such by many, so I don't even know where you get off claiming it is never stimulating.
Look if it suffices as porn for you, that's your business. I find the imagery to be rather odd to be intended for erotic purposes.
BUT overall porn is massively male-dominated and male-oriented and the women play roles suited to the male fantasies.

Okay, and what exactly is wrong with that? If the majority of buyers are something and so the market reflects that majority... is that bad?
Oh come ON. An unrestrained market-driven society is only going to bring out the absolute worst in everybody.
It depends on whether it is good or bad or neutral. I have been arguing all along here that it is bad for relationships, bad for women, bad for marriages etc.
But it isn't bad for all relationships, women, marriages. My guess is it is only bad for bad relationships, insecure women, and bad marriages.
Uh huh, well that sure does take care of all the complaints, doesn't it, just relegate them to inferior people. Also, when discussing a TREND the information that not *all* fit the trend is a bit superfluous wouldn't you say?
It has actually can help all three which is why it has been popular throughout history and cultures and is growing in popularity now.
Um, no that is most certainly not the reason for the growth of popularity of porn. It's a lot more primitive than that, kinda like the opening of Pandora's box I'd say, or just more like the popularity of junk food -- it's certainly not desired for its supposed "helpfulness." That's a laugh. Just exactly WHO is being benefited and to what extent is the sense of benefit is shared by others or the partner? There are better routes to improvement than introducing sexual scenarios from outside the relationship.
Understanding??? Understanding??? Grow???
Yes. Or are you uncertain what the definition of those words are? The question I raise is if a thing (X) leads to a person liking something they had not realized they might like, is that bad or growth?
Again, it depends on whether the something is good, bad or neutral. For the sake of illustration would you say it is a good thing to "grow" in appreciation of the many ways to kill, copulate with, dismember, store, prepare, flavor and consume the body of a human being? Not everything people learn to like is good. By a long shot. We being fallen and all. I believe there's nothing inherently good about porn of any type, it's all exploitative.
I would just like to keep the point simple and focused: Male oriented porn often promotes a dehumanizing and demeaning image of women which may have many degrees of exploitative and violent expressions, and is a form of infidelity as experienced by many women.
...insecure women will be unable to differentiate between a man's fantasizing with real infidelity.
I believe that objectively speaking fantasizing is a form of infidelity whether the woman is insecure or not or even notices it, as it takes your mind away from your partner to something more attractive to you.
