Just curious - would video of a married couples sexual activity be pornographic in your mind, if only they watched it? Or does it only become "porn" when it's distributed for public use? Is it the medium, the act, the participants, or the viewer that makes it porn?

Would it be a sin to use such tapes in sex therapy to improve a marital sexual relationship?

If a married couple should watch each other in the mirror and enjoy it, is that un-Christian?

I would NOT allow myself to be videotaped at all. Also, if my husband asks I'd wonder where his mind is at. That's leaving open a big gateway. Plus tapes can be LOST and get in the hands of other people. Vulgarity so YES I think it's just another compromise and is part of the whole lure of pornography.

Don't patronize me.

Lust is "the inordinate craving for, or indulgence of, the carnal pleasure which is experienced in the human organs of generation," and can occur even within marriage, when a spouse is considered simply as a means of gratifying one's sexual impulses. This contradicts the purpose of the marital act, which is two-fold: the unity of the couple and procreation.

This information is sufficient to answer your sophistries.
