Pornography is a Trojan Horse sin, because it opens the door to many other sexual sins.

Like dancing.

Love is selfless and all human beings need Love (true Love)——the Christian ideal is being erased-—and porn reduces people to objects to be used and discarded. It normalizes evil ways to “see” the other and self. It is degrading and dehumanizing-—reduces male/female to sexual objects to be used and discarded....it normalizes that attitude and makes sex meaningless.

This whole porn culture (much like the homosexual Weimar Republic) makes people cynical,and without the ability to trust. It is superficial and dehumanizing——removes Mind/Soul from body.

Males/Females who are true Christians would sacrifice for their spouse and children always. Selfish, unloving people are evil.

I will say controlling sex is a go-to for women who want to control the relationship, and sometimes the guy will demonstrate “I don’t need you anyway” by turning to porn and not hiding it. Then it can be a tug of war ending up each getting too comfortable living on opposite sides of the wire.

Or at least that’s the story the women told you.

No the men freely admit it.

“Men have figured out the game, and are no longer playing”

You’re so right about that. However, women too have stopped “playing” as you describe it. They no longer have to depend on men.

That’s why there are no homes for America’s children anymore. There are no more men for them to look up to as a father and a role model. The women who used to take pride in homemaking in every sense of the word now lie to themselves as they trundle their kids off to daycare or school every day and then rush to their real job. There are no more men to make it possible for them to be what they were created to be. It was women’s choice to become something other than what their divine calling equips them to be. Now they wonder why they just don’t feel “fulfilled.”

Yes, men and women have “stopped playing the game”. Now, the sex urge that brings them together is a means to an end, which is just sexual, nothing more. No marriage, no home, no mother or father figure, no stability, no roots, and no dependable knowledge of ancestry is going to be the legacy for the majority of today’s children. Soon, one could be having sex with a sibling or even a parent and have no way of knowing it.

If one leaves out the moral implications for society in general, the real genetic results of such depravity will be unthinkable.

Eventually, technology will allow for a full blown, on-demand sex simulation, which will be indistinguishable from the real thing. When that happens, watch out. Could conceivable lead to the extinction of the human race.

OK, I'm just gonna jump in, head first. (no pun intended) We can't defeat ISIS if Obama won't say "radical Islamic terrorists"..we can't counter porn if we can't talk openly about it.

1.Practically all porn features sexual acts that the vast majority of people will not do....hence the "fantasy element" involved.

2. As there are only so many orifices and people that can be "interconnected" porn is thus evolving to become more extreme, more deviant. It has to, in order to survive..otherwise, people become, well, bored. And that's what's scary today. Where does it stop?

But how do you stop the distribution without violating constitutional freedoms. We've outlawed drugs...that hasn't stopped people from using them. Porn is a drug..and a free on at that.

Lastly, I have one question. As has been pointed out here..the amount of FREE porn on the net is staggering. But how do they make $$$? What pays the bills? If it's free..who's gonna pay anything? So why is it then exploding?

Not everything that is possible is desirable, moral or right.

Be interesting to see who funds the porn on the web. Might explain a lot.

In Japan, men and masculinity in general have been beaten down to the point that males have quit even trying to win a woman's favor, prefering hypersexualized cartoon images of teenyboppers for chrissakes. This is the result of a multi generational trend which is now occurring here, only through a western filter.

Remember the old saw "When men were men and women loved them"? Sorry, that's been rendered non operative by the left for decades, and generations, now.

I have no data on which to base this, just my observation, but I think the drop in the divorce rate might also be because of porn - and not in a good way. A lot of young people are just not getting married. Much easier to find gratification via porn and also easier for men to find women willing to have sex outside of marriage.

That means that the smaller number of people who do get married are much likelier to be committed.

JMO.

Bigg Red, you have hit the nail on the head.

You reap what you sow. If a many marries primarily in order to have access to sex, he should not be surprised that his wife married primarily to have access to money. Neither one is a particularly admirable motivation. But at least it was workable in the past where women were dependent on men for financial support to raise their children. The tradeoff was fairly equitable.

Now that women have expanded opportunities in the workplace, they are less dependent on a husband for money. Now that men have expanded opportunities for porn, casual sex, and other gratification, they are less dependent on a wife for sex. Couples should think carefully and discuss what it is they expect from a marriage and from each other. Few people will honestly admit what it is, even to themselves.

Agree. People get squirmy, snarky or embarrassed.

1.Practically all porn features sexual acts that the vast majority of people will not do....hence the “fantasy element” involved..
_______________

I think that this is true, but there is also the easy element. Easier to masturbate than initiate and complete a live physical encounter.

2. As there are only so many orifices and people that can be “interconnected” porn is thus evolving to become more extreme, more deviant. It has to, in order to survive..otherwise, people become, well, bored. And that’s what’s scary today. Where does it stop?

__________________

I am not sure it is going to stop if permitted to continue. Snuff films are old hat and a horrific sexual exciter to a certain deviant group. There are sexual perversities out there in porn land one can not really imagine. Human depravity know no bounds, frankly.

But how do you stop the distribution without violating constitutional freedoms. We’ve outlawed drugs...that hasn’t stopped people from using them. Porn is a drug..and a free on at that.
____________________________

There always has been porn and there will always be porn, but marginalizing it at very fringes of society would help considerably.

Porn is actually mainstream among certain groups and interestingly one can walk into their houses and find porn on the screen with children present. Many teenage girls watch porn with their boyfriends and if you look at most of the teen girl fb pages they pose in porn star positions. It is accepted among many younger people as being the norm. When there is no moral value system, people have no moral governors.

Lastly, I have one question. As has been pointed out here..the amount of FREE porn on the net is staggering. But how do they make $$$? What pays the bills? If it’s free..who’s gonna pay anything? So why is it then exploding?

I cannot see how the industry sustains itself with its current financial plan. Who finances this?

America has lost it moral compass because we don’t feel we can suggest that looking at porn can be unhealthy because we have tasted the forbidden fruit.

We don't "taste" it; we get it shoved into our mouths in the form of advertising. Effectively, porn is force-fed.

Please help me make sure I got this straight. You have had men tell you that they would prefer to masturbate to porn than have sex with their wives, even when the wife was ready and willing? As opposed to using porn when she has one of her headaches?

Anytime any content on the net is free, you can assume the income is derived from advertising.
