Is it permissible to watch pornographic films out of curiosity, with the intention of stopping once the curiosity is gone?

Watching pornographic films is forbidden because it violates Allah's command to lower the gaze. It is one of the steps of Satan to beautify evil under the pretext of making it easier to abandon, and this is false. Looking affects the heart and corrupts it, and it is an arrow from the arrows of Iblis.
