It has been so long since I started to write this string of posts on the subject I wish to touch on today that I had to refer back to the posts of one year ago. But that is OK we are going to explore our manhood just a bit and we are also going to explore our sins and how to get rid of them. I hope that you my three faithful readers will ride along with me and comment often! So here we go!!
I left off with this subject on the point of trying to tie together the sin of pornography to the sin of masturbation. (May 16 2006) Both of these particular sins are about one thing, the genitals. There is nothing wrong with sex between a man and a woman within the bonds of holy matrimony and the exploration of one an other’s bodies is to be expected and encouraged. But the porn industry focuses so much on the body that they miss the point of what real eroticism is. Is pornography sexually exciting? Yes. Is porn an sexual visual aphrodisiac? Yes. Is porn realistic? No. Why not? Pornography is a complete lie. Women are not seduced in less than five minutes by complete strangers. They are not ready and willing to get it on as soon as some man smiles nice at them or even talks dirty to them.
I read this some where but cannot remember where. In a survey of both men and women on a college campus found that there is a bigger difference in the sexes than feminists would have us believe. Men were asked by a woman who was complete stranger to them if they would meet them in fifteen minutes for sex. Women were asked by a very good looking man the same question. 75% of the men said yes. 0% of the women said yes. Not one woman was ready at the drop of a hat to engage in the sexual union. So this alone should tell us all that young women of “legal” “porn” age are not as easy as the industry would have us believe.
Masturbation is also only about the genitals but with a very sadistic twist. To become sexually excited enough to make masturbation possible takes fantisisation. What are we fantisizing about? Our spouse and the encounter that we experienced just recently? Not hardly. We are thinking about the little honey in the tight dress we saw yesterday or at work. Or we are thinking about the elicit movie we watched last night or last month. It does not even have to be a pornographic. It could just be a movie that has a steamy love sceen that shows a beautiful woman’s back and a simulated sex act that causes the required stimulation. What ever gets you going it is most likely not the woman to whom you have pledged your life. This is the adultery that Jesus was speaking of when He said to lust with the eye is to commit adultery in the heart.
Porn causes adultery. Does it cause ALL adultery? No. But I am a firm believer in the theory that porn causes sexual sin to be committed both bodily and spiritually.
More later.
