sexuality - Which prohibition does one commit when viewing pornography?


Excluding wasting one's seed (hotzas zera l'vatelah) and Bittul Torah (wasting one's time by not learning Torah), which Jewish commandment or law (Biblical or Rabbinic) is one breaking when viewing pornography?


When someone chas v'shalom eats not kosher food it's easy to say exactly which issur they are committing. However, in this case, is it so clear cut? Can it easily be pointed to a negative commandment that the person is neglecting?


Note: I realize that viewing pornography is not in the "spirit" of the law. My question, though, pertains to the letter of the law.
