I would say no. Pornography, generally, is not illegal. Of course, all pornographic films or tapes that are to be released to the public require a licence. That licence is determined by the Executive (or the Administrative, depending on the location), and strict regulations apply to gain such a licence. Those regulations, to my mind, would include sanitary evaluations and necessary sexual health checks. The safety of the actors would obviously play a big part in the securing of such licences, and certain health staff and the like would need to be present in case something goes wrong, depending on the type of pornographic film. Nevertheless, whilst you need a permit to produce pornographic films, you don't need a licence to view them. You can generally be sure you're not going to get into any trouble watching self-harm pornography. However, I don't have much legal knowledge of the US porn industry, or US media in general, so take what I've said with a grain of salt and do some investigating of your own (there are always exceptions to the First Amendment).

No, it is not illegal. Pretty much anything goes in the world of porn except for minors (people under 18 years old) and bestiality. Those are classified as child pornography and animal abuse respectively and can get distributors and viewers in serious legal trouble in the US. Also, the fact that people are crazy enough to do those things is horrible imo.
Also, I'm pretty sure that companies that produce porn have to get the consent of everyone involved and have to keep records demonstrating that and that everyone is over the age of 18, and filming is legal in only some states. They also require STD testing and other safety measures.

I don't think that this type of pornography is illegal. As long as everyone involved was of age and consented to what they are doing, there's nothing wrong with it.
