I dont hear any hint of Dennis looking down on Evangelicals.... (full disclosure it is we Orthodox and “ultra” Orthodox who, though morally and civilly are very similar to religious Christians, we categorically disagree with the theology of the Trinity)

The mission of the Jews is to reveal G-d in the world. Nothing less.

Pretty good analogy. And note that many acknowledged leaders of Orthodox Judaism won’t call out Prager just as the Catholic Establishment won’t call out Biden. Celebrity uber alles, I guess.

"Much of the “romance novel” industry is “chick porn”."

That is true. I've perused some of my wife's "romantic novels" and they can get very specific.

The problem as I see it and has been mostly universally understood, is non-skank normal women prefer a romantic lead up to sex. Men are more visual regarding sex and just the sight of a shapely woman in a bikini can lead to arousal or impure thoughts. Remember Jimmy Carter's admission?

Much of the difference lies in the testosterone levels in men AND women, their upbringing, religious beliefs, and the diminishing lack of desire in a couples' relationship for whatever reason. Age plays a big part, also.

That said, I don't believe in breaking the bonds of a committed relationship. Still, if a man (or woman) looks at ADULT actors on occasion, I see no foul as long as they don't play out their fantasies.

And like the fallacy that Escorts (not street walkers) are manipulated/forced into their services, so are not mainstream porn actors. Yes, some videos go places that are perverse and sickening, but the majority of porn is just a visual of what most married/committed couples do behind their closed doors. Think about it.

Last thought: If you base your sexual behavior on religion, why did god give men/boys the relentless desire, starting from puberty? He was wise in delaying the same desire for some years in girls. Of course, there are exceptions for all I've said.

Okay, I'm a perve and have always loved everything about the female body, yes including their heart and sensitivity. The times I've seen well-made basic porn, it makes me think of my wife. It's actually made for some interesting times. Call or think of me what you will. Sex in all its normal possibilities when combined with affection is a wondrous part of being a human being.

"if men want variety- why the hell do they get married?"

Because they love the woman and satisfied in bed with her, until things get same ole same ole, and then their initial urges return?

And you knew the plumber was coming to replace the garbage disposal. Something smelled rotten when she said it was alright for you to stop off at the tavern to hoist a few with your buddies. That’s a dead giveaway. But we all have to play our parts.

From Christianity.com:

Mary Magdalene, as it seems according to Scripture, was likely not a prostitute. Some people associate her with the prostitute who washes Jesus’ feet (Luke 7:36-50), but no biblical verse ties the two.

Some have also suggested Mary Magdalene is the women caught in adultery, but again, Scripture does not give that woman a name (John 8:1-11).

Why Do so Many Christians Claim She Was a Prostitute?

If no Scriptural evidence directly ties her to this role, where did the prostitute affiliation come from?

In the 6th century Pope Gregory the Great authoritatively pronounced that the sinful woman mentioned in Luke 7:36-50 was the same person as Mary Magdalene. He even asserted that Mary Magdalene and Mary of Bethany were the same person. The Eastern Orthodox Church never linked Mary Magdalene’s identity with the sinful woman in Luke 7.

“Although Gregory did not actually call her a prostitute, he interpreted the ‘seven demons’ of which she had been exorcised as the totality of vices, and asserted that the ointment she used to anoint Jesus’ feet had previously been used by her to perfume her body for sensual purposes.

Subsequently, the legend of Mary Magdalene, the sister of Martha and Lazarus, as a beautiful, vain, and lustful young woman saved from a life of sin by her devotion to Jesus became dominant in western (Catholic) Christianity, although the eastern (Orthodox) church continued to regard Mary Magdalene and Mary of Bethany as distinct saints, and identified neither with Luke’s sinner.”

Wow! Holy cow. I’m speechless. I truly was taught that she was a prostitute. I guess catholic school which you mention. There’s so much inconsistency between different studies on the topic. Thank you for this.

Marriage is a bad deal for both men and women. Women want multiple BBC’s in general and men get tired too after awhile.

I’m gladly never married, had plenty of sex, and that’s that. Nobody needs kids or marriage anymore. And in this world, procreating is a stupid person’s thing anyway. And if you aren’t going to have a family, why the hell not screw around as long as it’s with just 1 person at a time so nobody is hurt?
