It seems sort of weird that he’s associating it with porn.

I wondered about that too, Girl... as the bible does state that sex sins are “against the body” in a way that other sins aren’t. Meaning, I take it, that they misuse the body. Mammon mania will not, of itself, do that. Though it could lead into other acts that do that.

There could however be a broad figurative sense in which it applies, like we might talk figuratively about “being prostituted to money.”

In a way it is a burning lust. The love of money is like a cancer to the soul. The money itself is not the problem. We need that to take care of our daily needs. When we compare our financial/social status with others, we start to covet. It can become obsessive like porn.

And yet... for what it’s worth, C. S. Lewis believed at least some sex sins to be less risky than sins of more direct pride, in that someone in sex sin can more easily see that he is in trouble than someone in a sin of pride.
