What a person does to himself is his own business. I do not want others interfering in my life, therefore I will not interfere in theirs.
(I do have one small criticism of your post: Snuff films are an urban legend. There's no evidence that one has ever been made. This is a small point, however, since those who want to interfere in the free speech rights of others would be loath to argue the point.)
Great libertarian point of view, to which I agree.
Reality calling... Adults have sex. Children shouldn't... Nor do most adults think it's good for kids to watch it, talk about it or even learn about it till later.
Hey we disagree. There's nothing unrealistic about what I said. If a father doesn't want his son watching porn, he shouldn't watch it either. It's called being an example and a role model. I would not marry a man that watches porn because I don't want porn in my house.
In reality, sex wasn't meant for recreation, it was meant for Procreation. It was also made enjoyable between partners that are married. So, should children have sex, mine will when they are married..(unless there is something I don't know about yet) So yes, sex is good for my children too (adult children)
If you don't want your mother to hear it repeated, don't say it.
If you don't want your mother to see it, don't watch it
Oh yeah, one more... If you don't want your mom to read it, don't post it.
And I don't advocate that all marriages can be saved. You sound like you actually tried to work through the problems by at least showing her the respect she deserved as your wife, instead of running naked to your monitor. Ha!!
It was clearly meant for both.
It was also made enjoyable between partners that are married.
Why? Sex doesn't need to be enjoyable in order to procreate....
I try to live by the one an old priest told me, if you want to know whether something is right or not then live as if you have to account to Jesus Christ that same day. Porn is a vice and should have stayed that way but it's now gone mainstream.
Just pointing out the fallacy of your post. There are many things parents do that may not be good for children to do. That's why we have laws against minors driving, owning hand guns, etc. Parents have sex, doesn't mean that children should.
We have to disagree.
Well I've been reading this for quite a while and this is what I know about porn.
Watching it or not watching it is a moral issue.And where you stand on those morals dictates the action a person will take
Gods word is absolute and there is no gray area in it. He basically says its wrong.
Christians are more addicted to porn than anything else even drugs or alchocol.
It has destroyed more Christian marriages and ruined more Ministries than any other sin, in modern Evangelical church life.
Did the porn destroy the marriage or the ministry?
Well technically the answer is NO.
But the ease of getting porn and the nature of it is to entice.And the enticement will cause you to add to the sin of lust. By lying,or being decietful and those sins will destroy a marriage or a ministry.
Let me have it I can take it.

I could care less about porn one way or the other. I'm not going to act like it's this great threat, nor great treasure. I think while it's been amusing under very rare moods, it's boring after about ten minutes.
I wouldn't want it on all the time, and I don't think I'd be amused or aroused by my husband playing it. He doesn't. I have no need to lay down some rule about it like I am his guardian. To me, it's sortof like anything else that should be personal... If you aren't doing it with me, don't get caught doing it. ;~D
Wait a minute. . .
It was okay when you looked at it -- and either you were never caught or nover molested anyone, I don't know which -- but now it's not okay for anyone else to look at? Am I reading that right?
If you looked at porn and survived without raping someone, why can't everyone else make the same choice? Why did you look at porn? Were you married at the time?
Ordinarily I would never ask these questions, but you set yourself up a a moral arbiter and I think that we are due an explanation.
Disagree about what? Owning hand guns, driving, drinking wine, reading or watching porn, parents having sex?
geez, I'm addicted to David Drake, Eric Flint, Caleb Carr, Orson Scott Card, Victor Davis Hanson, and Tom Clancy, then ;)
