5 Reasons Satan loves pornography
https://aleteia.org ^ | 05/22/2017 | Tom Hoopes

"...Each year the pornography problem grows worse. The latest: The two most popular online video streaming services are featuring pornography-friendly marquee programs — a documentary and a biopic.

I haven’t (and won’t) watch either one, but speaking to exorcists recently (after writing about them before) has made me realize something about this phenomenon: Satan is pornography’s biggest fan. Why?

First, Satan loves pornography because he hates freedom.

When we renew our baptismal promises the Church asks: “Do you reject Satan, so as to live in the freedom of God’s children?”

To use pornography is to say: “I do not.” Pornography militates against freedom. The science of it is well known: The human brain, when aroused by erotic images, dumps chemicals into the bloodstream that push the throttle of the viewer to full-speed “give me more” mode. Idle online curiosity quickly becomes addictive obsession.

Dabbling with pornography is like opening the window of a pressurized airplane at a high altitude. It pulls you in and spits you out.

The same thing happens to women involved in the pornography industry. Women seeking modeling careers, or a brief injection of cash in tough times, quickly find themselves in the clutches of a degrading industry, with images of themselves that they regret circulating forever online.

A recent pornography scam is not unlike what happens anyway to “legitimate” pornographic actresses: Lured by money, they find themselves in the clutches of men who only want to use them.

Which is a second reason Satan loves pornography: It is the ultimate structure of sin.

When we lie, or cheat, or steal, we commit a sin that implicates each of us, alone. When we involve others in our sin, that’s worse. But what about a sin that helps create, perpetuate and supercharge international syndicates of sin?..."

Yes, Satan loves porn. And alcoholism, drug addiction....anything that steals our freedom, distorts our lives, and makes us slaves

He loves suicide the most. I highly recommend The Nefarious Plot by Steve Deace.

Oh no, not at all!

Pornography involves a camera.

That makes it “art”, not prostitution.

(I’ve actually heard that point of view expressed here on FR)

Thanks for sharing that. We need to hear it everyday.

“When the apostles argue who is the greatest in the 18th Chapter of Matthew, Jesus places a child in their midst. Then, a few verses later, he adds that anyone who causes a child to sin would be better off thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck.
The demons have already chosen the millstone. Now they want to cause as many children to sin as possible.”

If I hire a Prostitute to have Sex with a man I hire, its illegal. If I hire a Prostitute to have Sex with a man and I film and sell it, its all perfectly legal. OK, someone explain that to me.

When they start writing pieces with the same disdain for womens romance erotic novels/films they fantasy masturbate to, and the ubiquitous female vibrators, perhaps there will be some balance here.

Better than adultery with another person. Or nonconsentual relations.

Aparently because in one case you are making an entertainment product to sell to others.

It seems to me at least one big difference between written porn and actual video porn with real people is the exploitation factor. Real people will never be exploited to create written porn, while a lot of terrible exploitation occurs in the industry/creation of video porn with actual people.

Porn use is on the rise among women apparently, but the primary audience is still men and as a man, I can particularly comment on male dignity.

Growing up, the men I was conditioned to admire were tough, strong, principled, reliable, upstanding, honest. Cowboys, George Washington, my great-grandfather in a black and white photo with his silver star pinned to his uniform, etc. When you consider the sheer vulgarity of the consumption of pornography, a man reduced to a sweating, lusting animal, secretively, furtively watching two humans rut like beasts...It is so utterly antithetical to the admirable qualities of good men. It shreds and ruins their dignity as men, who are supposed to rise up as protectors and providers, not sink down to their lowest impulses.

The client of the prostitute is also being entertained.

Is entertainment of one somehow bad and entertainment of several good?

Nobody really understands the effects of free instantly available porn on society that technology now allows, at least to my understanding. It’s something that hasn’t happened before, at least the ease and convenience part on this simply massive scale. I have a hard time imagining it is a good thing for society.

“...furtively watching two humans rut like beasts...”

Seems like we are way beyond ‘furtively watching’, the younger crown are taking video and sharing it around, sending each other this stuff. I am glad these capabilities weren’t around in my younger days for sure.

Number one reason...porn is the ultimate addictive drug.

Addictive to sin, of course.

Sin is Sin, there is no better or worse, it’s just sin.
