Don't patronize me.
- 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?
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.
Oh, hey, thanks for the enlightenment, your eminence.
Lust is not at issue, which should be obvious, had you taken the time to read my post, rather than dismiss it as sophistry.
It must be possible to have marital sex without lust, otherwise any sex would be "inordinate craving" by your definition. So, is videotaped, lust-free sex, still porn?
Looking forward to your patronizing response.
Sanctimonious posturing aside, you've done a noteworthy job painting yourself into the "sex is dirty" corner.
