The interesting thing about a taboo, the more something is "forbidden", the more people tend to want to do a thing because its "naughty".

Add to the mix that people are inherently sexual creatures by nature, (Nearly everything we do in biology can pretty much be boiled down to sex or liver). People enjoy sex and enjoy looking at other people... so porn is something of a meeting place for those two interests.
