I got into a discussion on a city website here in my town, and it turned crazy! There is a Hustler Hollywood store here in town, just down the street from my church. The local papers wrote an article about it being the 5th anniversary of Hustler, but that no one was upset, or thought that it did the community any harm.

I responded to a post from the moderator who said he thought it did cause harm. He and I agreed. But then other people said nothing was wrong with it, it didn't hurt the community. I told them it did and cited scriptures to back it up, but the people turned them into what THEY wanted them to mean, saying that what a man and woman do to spice up their marriage is a good thing. I don't think supporting the porn industry is a good thing, but I just don't know what to tell them to help them understand.

The scary thing is, one member quoted the scriptures back to me, and told me that she and her husband go there all the time,and attend church all the time, but there's nothing wrong with it. That God says that sex is good. It's insane. What are people's thoughts on this matter? :confused:

Just quickly, I would say that the purpose these people watch these things is to get aroused. If you are getting aroused then obviously you are ' lusting '. Jesus said that to even look at another woman and to ' lust ' after her/him in your heart is committing adultery. Our conscience alone should tell us that. So these people are adulterers and are abusing the liberty we have in Christ making it an excuse for ' license'.

Believe it or not I've run into that problem on this very forum.

A non-Christian posted the question "why is porn wrong" in the Questions by Non-Christians section of CF, and a "Christian" told him that porn actually wasn't wrong and that the Bible had nothing to say about it.

I PM'd this "Christian" a couple of Scriptures that address sexual immorality and Christ's words on adultery, and he sent me a PM back stating that it wasn't his fault that my faith wasn't strong enough to allow me to look at porn.

In the end, I reported his post telling the non-Christian that the Bible teaches that porn is ok to the moderators, but they never deleted the post or did anything about it.

It makes me wonder what some of the CF mods believe about porn ... :scratch:

Anyway, there's a reason that Christ refers to the Christian path as the narrow road and the wordly path as the wide road. Not everyone who claims to be a disciple of Christ actually is.

When you think about it porn is quite sinister. You've got two or more people who are ACTORS (not married to each other), perhaps married to someone else, maybe not. They are doing what God commands should only be done in marriage because it is a special, holy God-ordained gift for us. There is a film crew watching/directing this activity. A production company making money off this sin. It is recorded and sent out to the public where a huge majority who view it are actually engaging in the same or similar activity while watching. Most of the viewers are committing acts of immorality while viewing it; lustful thoughts, pre-marital sex, depriving spouse, not taking thoughts captive to the obedience of Christ, enticing minors with that which was meant for adults in marriage only, destroying marriage relationships. UGH

Any Christian who thinks there is nothing wrong w/porn and can't see any contradictions w/the Word of God does not know his Bible very well and/or is not over the age of about 15.

Frame, I think the key words to your post is "but people turned them into what THEY wanted them to mean". That's the world, they are accepting more sin everyday. I get into conversations with non-Christians all the time, and they won't see what they do is wrong, they justify their sin. Was I any different? No. That's why we need to be spreading the gospel of Christ, and bringing people into the Kingdom, they are lost.

Its a tough thing...Listening to people defend their wrong positions. This store is not just a adult movie store, but also into various other methods of selling sex. The argument I got was the worldly view that whatever you do in your own home is your business...But my argument is, you still have to answer to God!

Anway, I believe that the only thing I can do for these people who believe this way is pray that God will reach them somehow. And unfortunately, these were adults, with families who were saying this!

When you tell people about God, and quote God's word to non-christians, a lot of times you'll get a very visceral reaction. But, I keep telling myself, as the bible tells us, that we should be glad that we are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, and persecuted for Christ. In the end, I have found solace in that.

One of the 10 commandments said do not commit adultry, and Jesus said that any man who looks at a woman with lust in his eye has already commited adultry with that woman with his heart. I don't know exactly where he said that, but I know he said it. So looking at porn is looking at a woman for sexual pleasure, and that is considered adultry, which is against the 10 commandments.

But I checked over the rules and technically I don't know what you could do. A rule against expressing one's screwy interpretation of the bible would be unmanagable. I guess they just leave it up to the Christians that post there to show their error.

Pauls letter to the Romans explains the use of the womans body and the mans body, and that of its un natural usage. "He has turned their minds to be reprebates". They see nothing wrong because these are the things that they chose to follow. Maybe citing some Romans to them will help, but as cited by Paul, probably not.

I personally couldn't justify bringing porn into my (hypothetical) marraige even to spice it up. It damages relationships and people, plus it would just be bringing back something I have longed to be free from for so long.

The fact is, this store doesn't cater only to married couples for that purpose. They are in the market to make money, and they know that titillation sells. They don't care who buys their stuff as long as someone buys it.

I would pray for them. Let God bless or punish them as He sees fit. He can punish them harsher than you ever could, and He knows what's up in their hearts. What they do within their marraige doesn't affect you at all.

Jesus said that any man who looks at a woman with lust in his eye has already commited adultry with that woman with his heart.

This may be a little off the discussion on this thread, and I certainly don't want to be accused of hijacking this thread, but I have often had a problem with understanding the exact meaning of what Jesus was getting at in this statement. It just seems to me that one could commit adultery with one's own spouse, under the context given. Maybe it depends on how you'd define lust as to whether your normal sexual desire towards your spouse would constitute committing adultery.

I think there's a line to be drawn between items sold in these stores (disclaimer: LIKE I'D KNOW!) - porn and "marital aids"

I think what y'all have said about porn is dead on.

I think though, that if someone wants to buy his wife a feather and blindfold her and tickle her, that's their business. At some point, though, you may cross a line. I don't know if that's dressing up, etc...and I would suggest that the line might be different for different people.

God does say that sex is good.... within marriage. God says lust is very bad. The end. Right?


My hubby did porn while we were dating and during the first part of our marriage before he became a Christian. Porn is evil. It breeds discontent, lust, and makes women feel inadequate. Besides the misacarriage I had, I would say that porn and lustful feelings directed at other women was the wost things that have happened in my life.

My marriage is a 100 times better than when I was participating in porn with my hubby. I ended up on anti-depressants back then.

My hubby does no porn whatsoever, and he turns and loooks into my eyes to lock on my gaze instead of looking at mags in the checkout line. He turns his head away from girls bending over etc., and he is way happier with our relationship. Very fulfilled and content.

My marriage is much more than "just sex". But sex is really, very important. It is actually like the "main meal". I think it is kinda goofy how people down play the role of sex in marriage. The sex part should be like the top priority in a good marriage. I do not know anyone who has a better marriage than I do, and I have been married over 9 and a half years, and in a relationship with the same guy for over ten and a half years.
Sex is not some treat you get on the side in a marriage. That would be a messed up marriage if you ask me.

Ity makes me mad when some of the women over in the marriage section on CF act like sex is some little treat they reward their husband with every so often. Then there are all these ladies in there complaining about how their husband does porn......

I haven't read much in the marriage section as yet, so I guess this is why I post this question, Mrs.E. Do you think, based on what those ladies have written, that there is a causal relationship between those ladies using sex as a reward (or treat) with their husbands, and their husband's use of porn?

I guess what I'm driving at is that even good things, if misused can have negative results.

Well, I can't say for sure, but in the marriage section and the women's section you keep seeing women upset about their hubby using porn and also women saying they don't like to have sex, that their hubby should just "not need any" until the woman feels like it, and that the guy does not ask for it cuz he can tell she will say no, etc. etc.

The men's section is full of porn trouble. It is not all because of this, but if the woman thinks that sex is some side iussue in marriage, a treat for if you are deserving, etc. then she is just asking for trouble.

I mean, I feel like I get so frustrated at them. They are like some kind of bratty kids. They have something they know their husband wants, but he can't have it. Some one was saying that if the hubby tried anything when the wife is asleep, then he would be raping her. I mean, come on, who is taking advatage of who. I think sex should be on the top of the list when it comes to a healthy marriage.
I know, lots of the women have issues from their pasts that make them want to have complete (and totally selfish) control over their sexuality.

I think that treating sex lightly, or saying that it is not one of the most important aspects of a healthy marriage is the type of statement a lot of these women love to hear. They take that kinda stuff and run. I don't know why they even bother to get married, unless it was because they hoped to torture someone.

Like a few women in the women's section, also. They are all super mad at some guy because after like I don't know, 4 or 6 weeks of nothing he was feeling down. But his wife who gave birth like 4 or 6 weeks ago refuses to do anything at all for the guy. She flat out refuses. She is the poor hero, and he is an evil rapist for even suggesting that she should help him out. It just makes me mad and sick. I can't imagine that the marriage is gonna last.

1 Corinthians 7

1Now for the matters you wrote about: It is good for a man not to marry.[a (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%207&version=31#fen-NIV-28473a)] 2But since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband. 3The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4The wife's body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband's body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife. 5Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. 6I say this as a concession, not as a command. 7I wish that all men were as I am. But each man has his own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that.


8Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I am. 9But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.


This information taken from an interesting website puts it plain:

Wrong ideas and expectations about sex:

Porn is not real sex. Porn has only one purpose, to make money for those who produce it. For this reason the pornographers produce something that has only the most visually powerful aspects of sexuality - the faster and stronger the turn on, the more likely a man will come back and pay for more. This results in porn being very different from real sex:



Things like love, respect, romance, and commitment are not found in pornography.


Spontaneous sex with someone not known is common.


Oral sex is extremely common in pornography since it's easier to get camera close ups and therefore more visually arousing than intercourse.


The more common positions used for intercourse do not film well, so porn is full of strange and impossible positions.


A lot of action and movement is more arousing than soft, slow, gentle sex, so only the fast and hard kind is shown.


Men want "proof" of orgasm, so most male climaxes in porn are done in a way that allows the ejaculation to be seen. And most female climaxes are accompanied by an exaggerated amount of screaming and thrashing.


In porn videos the women do not need foreplay - either they are ready at the drop of a pair of pants, or they need only a few seconds of stimulation.


The women are insatiable, they climax repeatedly, and they are so desperate for sex they will do anything with anyone.


Illicit sex arouses, so porn is full of fornication, adultery, lesbianism, threesomes, orgies, rape, and other things that we will not even mention!It is impossible for someone to repeatedly view this kind of thing and not be affected by it. Normal sex acts start to seem boring, and a man who has been happy with his sex life can become frustrated that it's not like the porn. A man may start to think there is something wrong with his wife, or get mad at her for not being like the women in the porn. The man may also start to question his own sexuality, since the men in porn are much "better endowed" than most men, and seem to be able to have an erection at will and last as long as they choose. No real man can do the things men in porn seem to do.


Women can also be affected negatively by viewing porn. They may feel ugly or think they can not turn their husband on because the don't look like the women they see. They may start to doubt their sexuality because they can't do, or don't want to do, the things they see.


This change of ideas and expectations is a slow, subtle process, but it's extremely destructive. It's also very difficult to correct - a man who has stopped viewing porn still has the wrong ideas and expectations in his head, and getting them out is not easy. Many men who have used porn prior to marriage say they have no idea what real sex should be like

I won't go into any huge details, since this is not the forum for that...but my wife is somewhat like the women you mentioned in your post, and it becomes very discouraging. Sex is not just about pleasure, though it is pleasant...but in my mind it's mostly about intimacy and closeness. And after several weeks of it's absence, I begin to feel disconnected from her (and from myself, I might add). It can be a horrible feeling to be in the same room with someone, and feel lonely at the same time.

Hello. This is my first post so please bear with me.

I have to say that from my own past experiences (which I do not wish to disclose and from which the Lord has rescued me), the porn industry is without question a work of satan. The actors, the strippers, the poor misguided young women, they are all being used by satan as instruments to gain control over the minds of His children. Porn is one of satan's most powerful instruments against God. It turns decent men to adultery and perversion - sometimes with their own wives. It turns innocent young women to prostitute themselves with the false pretense of gaining fame and fortune as actresses. It ends up destroying their lives instead. Many of the women, if not all of those involved in porn are habitual drug users and have lost the ability to love or feel loved. I have known some of them. The porn industry itself was started by the mob back in the 1970's and the mob, with its connections to drugs and prostitution is still very much running the porn industry of today. satan was once described as holding a bag of overflowing gold coins. The porn industry is a perfect example of shameful men getting rich off of the exploitation and disgrace of God's once obedient children, and also off of those who fall into its shameful trap as I once did.

All you need to say to them (those in the city council) is:
"Who among you would you let your own beloved daughter(s) work at that store!"

Praise be to God.

Hi Gabriel -

In my spare time, I study women's clothing history. Unfortunately, one thing that is very difficult to find is pictures of women's underclothes, especially before the time of the Sears Catalog. I can assure you that for about 500 years there has been a booming business of scandalous photographs, pictures, stories, and accounts, because I have scanned many of them looking for a better understanding of clothing. (Scandalous! Constance!)

I have ZERO exposure to the twentieth century industry, though, and I can only imagine what the drug cartels and mafia did...

It turns innocent young women to prostitute themselves with the false pretense of gaining fame and fortune as actresses. It ends up destroying their lives instead. Many of the women, if not all of those involved in porn are habitual drug users and have lost the ability to love or feel loved. I have known some of them. The porn industry itself was started by the mob back in the 1970's and the mob, with its connections to drugs and prostitution is still very much running the porn industry of today. satan was once described as holding a bag of overflowing gold coins. The porn industry is a perfect example of shameful men getting rich off of the exploitation and disgrace of God's once obedient children, and also off of those who fall into its shameful trap as I once did.

All you need to say to them (those in the city council) is:
"Who among you would you let your own beloved daughter(s) work at that store!"

Praise be to God.

Lets remember that Sexuall Immorality is a sin. It talks about that in both 1 Corinthians as well as Galations. Also lets remember that the citys of Sodom and Gamorah(spelling) were destroyed because of lawless acts and it speceifically states sexual immorality as one of the lawless acts.

As far as sex goes it is good in Gods eyes as long as it is between a husband and wife. Looking at porn is bad because that creates lust another sin. Talks in Mathew than lusting after someone is commiting adultry in the heart.

I Would Tell Them That Porn Is Dangerous And Is Addicting As Crack Cocaine. Porn Will Alter Your Brain Chemistry And Snare Your Soul. It Will Destroy Your Relationship With God And Destroys Marriages. Porn Also Objectifies Women.
