Not everyone is ashamed of watching porn.

I was actually looking for anyone to advance this argument, but so far no one has. I am actually a little surprised. The argument seems to be that there is no problem with people keeping the things they are ashamed of private.

That response really surprises me.

Shalom.

Well, I think that if the assumption that if someone who partakes knowing that watching porn is wrong, then there is not really a need to point out the wrong in them hiding it. I know what you are saying though, the fact that most who partake in porn do so in a secret hidden manner should make it obvious that they are doing wrong an know it, thier shame condemns them and they need to take a hard look at that. BUT there are those who are not ashamed of thier participation in porn, either as producers or consumers. They may not be as open because of obvious reasons which others have pointed out. Not everyone approves and they aren't interested in being constantly provocative or inviting a moral lecture, or being thrown in jail for public indecency.

SO the argument isn't that they participate in private because they feel ashamed, rather they participate in private out of respect for you and to avoid offending you.
