i don't like porn. whenever i see it, it always seems so very fake and weird- two people who barely know each other just start doing something that needs a certain level of intimacy (in my opinion)
it's like synthetic sex.

you're right. what your brother said is very disturbing - but I heard many grown men say the same.
The idea of keeping people away doesn't seem real. I'd say the problem is not porn itself - but how it is today and what interests it has been serving.
It's also not real because porn is everywhere - from doll factories, to mainstream pop songs and advertising.
the other day I got the chance to look at some "erotic" book from the 40s in an antique shop. It looks almost like poetry compared to the porn we see today. But, above all, it looked very REAL. Real bodies, real faces, situations. Also, these "caracthers" seemed to have a personality and preferences of their own.
You could say it almost estimulated imagination rather than killing it.
baudrillard had predicted that one day the "unreal" or "above real" would become more important than reality.
Hyperreality, porn is hypersex.
