Porn and culture

Here is a recent article from Newsweek: http://www.newsweek.com/id/162792/output/print
I appreciate the writer’s desire to expose the effect that pornography is having on popular culture, but I believe they are victims of the same seduction. They seem confused by whether or not porn really has a place in our culture. Of course, I do not believe it has a place. I believe it miseducates and distorts and destroys healthy sexuality, men, women, and intimacy. Read it for yourself and decide what you think!

I agree with you completely. Porn is Satan’s work to cause us to feel ugly inside, to hurt our GOD-sanctified relationships by mentally and visually engaging in sex acts with total strangers, (whether or not they are aware of it at the time- as they left their likeness on film or camera on purpose to sexually influence those who would see it) and by causing our bodies to react to a visual stimulus in powerful and shameful ways. In its purest form, love (and/or marriage) combined with the act of hetero-sexual togetherness is a beautiful and pure thing, possibly and most likely connected to procreation- it is a creative experience brought forth by singular exposure to only the one you love or have a sanctified relationship with, in faith that s/he loves you,and you both desire magnificent closeness. It is private and modest and sweet, regardless if its relaxed or energetic, same in youth or in old-age. It is earned by the faith in GOD and adherence to HIS laws. -Now, smear some ugly and powerful pornography on that, and you now have a physically-and mentally-powerful result that very often causes voyeurism, a casting-about for other people to participate with, even strangers(yes, -even if it is just their likeness they purposefully left on film for one to use for that purpose) and involves an intense loss of morality. Children, or the spouse of another, can often become the target of release for the porno-ridden mind, or whomever is readily available. There is nothing tender, pure, or sweet about it. There is no concern for another partner, or for procreation and family, or of moral sanction. It is empty of all that is good and moral and pure about marriage and intimacy. Its very voidness is ugly, and brings all mankind involved right down to animal-status. Pornography induces those involved to lose any sense of decency or modesty, or rightousness. Indeed; these things no longer exist during the time of involvement, and the guilt that people feel after their behavior is ended for the time being, is usually transferred into resentment for those that the porn-user is responsible to, such as a spouse or children, or even other family. I believe that deep-down, everyone who participates in pornography feels guilt, although many are angry aboout that, and blame others instead of themselves, and they try to change morality itself to accomodate them, thinking that will fix the problem. It will not. We are all created with a sends of higher right and deeper wrong, and when we are out of synch with those subconscious understandings, we are in internal conflict.
