As far as i know, consumption, distribution, and production of it is prohibited. Is the prohibition based on a new proletarian morality/ethic or is there a materialist basis for the complete ban?

Porn is exploitative under capitalism because it's capitalism. I do think, however, that drawing arbitrary lines to keep eroticism private while socializing every other aspect of human life is, in fact, arbitrary and not rooted in any Marxist understanding. Communism will also orient eroticism, just like every other factor of human life, outwards, not inwards.
