THE PROBLEM OF PORNO

image from http://www.cleancutmedia.com
AT PUBLIC LIBRARIES,

...so I'm sitting here @ B Library working on a project and the table I'm at happens to be right behind a public computer and a guy looking at pic after pic of naked or near-naked women and also various sexual images.....its clear as day from where I'm sitting...

now I'm a heterosexual man  myself and like woman, but I'm also a Christian and don't like to see  women exploited for their bodies only, and am also concerned about the  effect that non-stop porno viewing has on people such as this  fellow...and what about kids in the library ? this is a serious issue..  not to say the body is bad,,,in fact the body is GOOD, God made Adam  & Eve and said it was "good"...

The problem isn't the body, nor the  naked body, nor is the problem sexuality or sex in general (and since  he's not looking at homosexual images I don't need to discuss that  here)...the problem is just the "raw" gazing upon anonymous images,

...one  after another, looking them up & down and all around without any  shame..and also if it takes young men away from reality..from the  healthy desire for the REAL THING Rather than pics of it.

Of course in  liberal society today if women, as well, are afraid of the REAL THING  its a "vicious spiral"...and when I speak of the real thing I mean in a  committed relationship...

that's what is pleasing to God..."go and  cleave" to another ( i.e. a person of the opposite sex)

"...a man shall  leave his
father and mother ...

...and shall cleave to his wife, and they shall  become one flesh...

Of course, I don't like libraries that have internet so  obsessively triggered to block any & all websites that MIGHT contain  "adult images" (but might not; at one library they block youtube and  also a site named scribd which is mostly written documents, not a video  site, and definitely not aimed towards adult content) ..so the body is  good & sex is good, but lusting and adulterey in the heart is  bad..but what about when u r still single and searching ? is it ok then  ? I'm still not so sure its healthy. I don't even think a quality  relationship should begin based solely on physical qualities. Maybe  that's why we have a divorce problem in the USA . ..anyways, I also  posted a video of me at a library facetiously being "tempted" by adult  material on the website ("I confess..." ..with the point being to raise  this matter as an issue of concern and to talk about it, online, and to  give my theological viewpoint(s) as I also continue to grow and  learn...and still, occassionally, yearn for a committed relationship  with the right person of the opposite sex. God bless you all. Pray for  those who are afflicted with demons of addiction...

...to porn or other material(s) (drugs, etc)...that  keeps them constanly "pumped up" but not in touch with reality ...and  not participating as citizens in trying to make this world a better  place for everybody..ultimately, the incessant viewing or pornography  (and especially those who "get off" on it, I.e. masturbate)...

STOP JERKING OFF
is simply a  problem of being SELFISH...

STOP USING THE VIBRATOR

...and it causes other social problems..if you  are trapped in a cycle of addiction, there are ways to BREAK FREE...AND BE REAL !

...and  of course I always talk about Jesus Christ as the Way...

..and ultimately  the only way, but if that's not your cup of tea (coming to Christ  involves commitment and work) there are other forms of treatment for  addiction..
