Pornography: Are there good sides to it?

Don’t get tired of me writing about this ‘issue’. This may as well be the last article I write on this topic- at least until I’m instructed to write again anyway.

I have always had this question: what of married couples who watch porn? Are they married? What’s the harm? Then in the course of writing these articles, I read this:

“Irrespective of the legal or social view of pornography, it has been used in a number of contexts. It is used, for example, at fertility clinics to stimulate sperm donors. Some couples use pornography at times for variety and to create a sexual interest or as part of foreplay. There is also some evidence that pornography can be used to treat voyeurism”

And I thought, okaaayyyyy…

To answer my question, I weighed it on ‘THE’ Standard. By that, I mean the WORD of GOD. That is the mirror through which we should dissect our decisions and choices, and my answer is: NO! Pornography has NO positive side.

I’m not making a statement of opinion on sperm donation here. However, let’s stop to consider: Life should be about MEANs and ENDs both! Not just MEANs, and not just ENDs.

We have established that sex should be a sacred act between two people who are married. A private show! Pleasure should be derived by two people from themselves, not from others. True, there may be couples who need help in their sexual relations with each other, but pornography isn’t the right way to get that help because pornography itself is the negation of God’s plan, hence it is a sinful act. In short, IT IS SIN.

Sex between a husband and a wife is of worship to GOD. And you can’t use ‘sin’ to worship GOD in your sexual relationship with your husband or wife. And what is the joy when, after using pornography to arouse themselves, yet in their minds, have sex with the porn artist they just watched while actually having sex with their spouse? That is a very potent prescription for dissatisfaction down the road.

There are counselors who can help couples achieve fulfilling sexual relations the right way.

With respect to voyeurism, hoping to cure ‘this’ abnormality with pornography is like seeking to cure a persistent headache with the sound of scraping irons. It’s an exercise in futility which will only deepen the problem and make deliverance much ‘difficult’.

May our eyes be opened by the Light of GOD.
