This is an interesting debate. In watching it, I am definitely reminded of how the world sees things *so much differently* (John 17, I John 2:15-16), but again, there wouldn’t be XXXChurch.com is there weren’t people who, at least secretly, agree with the “carpal tunnel chick” (peep how frustrated *and rude* she is-SMH).
It is a little over nine minutes long, but it’s chocked full of info so it goes by pretty fast.
As for me, I’ll say this: I read earlier this week that 1 in 3 singles would prefer food over sex. In a study a couple of years back, it was cited that 63% of married women preferred sleeping, seeing a movie and reading over sex. And yet, interestingly enough, it was reported today that 9 out of 10 British women admitted that they are aroused by porn and in an article that was written about American women, it stated that 76% of women (in a particular poll) stated that they enjoyed x-rated entertainment.
Desire for *real sex* is dropping while porn is on the rise? Hmph.
Yet, it should be no shocker that LiveScience.com published an article entitled, “Men’s Porn Use Linked to Unhappy Relationships” (uh, because it is) and in the article about the married women who like to do so many other things than have sex, one of the therapists in the piece stated this: “I kind of look at this as sort of bad news. You may say you’re happy with your sex life, but in the end, if night after night you’re consistently picking a book, TV, Facebook, digital networking, any distraction that’s out there over intimacy with your partner, in the long run, your relationship could become vulnerable to things like infidelity. So you have to put sex at the center of your relationship.”
And that’s kind of where I am with it. There’s a whole lot of ways for the thief to “steal, kill and destroy” (John 10:10) and if we’re seeing that more women are opting out of *actual physical intimacy with another person* to watch porn online…*is that not another reason why porn isn’t good for us?* Because the fantasy is becoming more and more preferred to the reality?
It’s something to think about (and comment below on).
Oh and as far as “Does watching porn make you a slut?” which is the title of the video, honestly, I think it makes you more of a john (or jonetta-LOL). You use it, it uses you, no healthy connection is made, but plenty of unhealthy seeds are planted. And before you know it, you’re on some televised interview talking about how much you love to “love yourself” with no reference to a man being anywhere in sight.
Toys over people. Porn over intimacy. Definitely not what God had in mind for sex. *Of this I’m sure*.
Sound off…
