Now if you'll excuse me, my wife of fourteen years requires something of me.

An old video of deep throat?

[Luke21]

I came up in the early and mid 70's, when porn was rampant and its values spreading like wildfire. The times were so libertine that we fourteen year olds could routinely stand at the newsstands for hours and look and buy. It was very easy to get, just like alcohol was at the time.

Men that want to look at the stuff should be allowed to. It is their right to do so in a free country. But that doesn't make it wholesome, moral, or desirable. A married man who spends his time looking at computer porn, which is the "in" type these days, is depriving his wife of romantic attention and wrecking her self esteem. At some point, their relationship will ultimately suffer. Women hate being compared to airbrushed pictures.

The women in porn are tragic victims. They are someone's daughters. Many are addicted to drugs and have been sexually abused. The best solution to porn is to employ the same tactic that has ravaged the abortion industry, where finding doctors, nurses, and customers gets more and more difficult. Simply teach and LIVE the right way. Stress the family and how love between a husband and wife is a beautiful thing. Just as motherhood and childraising is regarded by young women far differently today than in the early 70's, young men can be shown that pornography is an alluring but very poor substitute for female companionship.

Even on the liberal talkshows like "The View", the female hosts and guests fawn and gush over each other's children. Though abortion remains legal, it is a nuisance that its vociferous supporters defend in principle only, a relic of the "sexual revolution," and radical feminism. In reality, almost no one wants their female children to grow up and have abortions or go to work in the porn industry. And like someone here said, we don't exactly want our sons sitting with Kleenex in hand at their computer screens either. Teach them how precious a woman is inside, and what makes them so delightful as people and partners. My mother went absolutely insane anytime I was curious around the neighborhood little girls, and her repression and punishments ultimately created a curiosity that made me embrace porn as a teenager.

The porn beast is dying a slow death, just like abortion. It is also the price we pay for an open society. Some people visit dirty websites and bookstores, but I get to read my Bible. Not a bad tradeoff.
