Speaking as an artist myself, the difference between pornography and artistic nude figures in sculpture and painting are obvious to most people. Granted, some artists get too close to the line...particularly in “artistic” photography and video.
The Bible itself talks about sex and mentions that Adam and Eve were “naked and not ashamed”. But it never goes into titillating details.
That is the difference. Pornography is designed to arouse the sexual urge. Good art and writing is designed to showcase truth and beauty.
It takes two.
If the women are expected to be enthusiastically sexual for the husband, then the husband needs to continue court his wife like he did when they dated.
He meets her emotional needs and he won’t have any problem getting sex as long as there’s no mitigating factor in her background (like abuse or rape) and at that point, they need to go for good, solid, Christian counseling to deal with those issues.
It takes two, and somebody needs to start, and it needs to be clear that “If you start delivering A, then you WILL have the expectation of starting to receive B”, with it being very clear, up front, what A and B are.
