Answer

Yes, if “porn” means sexual content meant for arousal, that would generally be misleading from a Jain point of view.

Explanation

In Jain Dharma, the ideal of brahmacharya means restraint, purity, and control of the senses. Pornography usually increases attachment, lust, and mental agitation, which goes against that principle.

If your guru literally said you can watch porn, it is worth gently asking for clarification, because:

• maybe they meant something else,
• maybe there was a misunderstanding,
• or maybe the guidance was given for a very specific personal reason.

But in ordinary Jain ethics, pornography is not considered supportive of spiritual progress.

Spiritual Understanding

Jain practice aims to reduce kashayas like desire and attachment. Sexual media usually strengthens exactly those tendencies. For a Jain seeker, what we watch affects the mind, and the mind affects karma.

So from a Jain spiritual perspective, avoiding such content is wiser and more in harmony with restraint.

Takeaway

If the word was meant literally, then yes, it sounds inconsistent with Jain brahmacharya. A respectful clarification with your guru would be the best next step.
