I understand completely
And I don't think you need a professional to know why you feel that way.

What I worry about...
...is whether or not you can afford professional counseling or have access to low-cost counseling.
I feel you have every right to be upset. I was taught that it is a violation of the commandment prohibiting adultery to look at porn. Yes, men do feel differently, but the fact is that many conservative Christians in particular discourage the viewing of all forms of porn, believing that doing so is looking upon a woman to lust after her, considered a violation of the commandment prohibiting adultery by Jesus. (I forget which Gospel that comes from, though.)

I guess it's something women don't understand.
We don't feel the way men do about it, either. Emotions and reasons are totally different. Maybe a professional will help you.
Maybe a shift in perception. If you have a cat and you look at pictures of other cats, have a poster of a cat, or a calendar, does it mean you are unfaithful to your cat?
Is it only 'porn' or is it art, too? Does any naked image upset you, or is it only the ones you perceive to be for sexual pleasure? Is it because they're dirty, or is it because they make you feel dirty? Examine your perceptions and it may afford you insight on yourself that will be valuable.
