What I Wish I Would Have Known Before Watching P0rn

Recommended Posts

What you do after watching porn in your fault. The way you treat people in and outside of the bedroom is completely your choice.

But the things it does to your [i]head [/i]-- like ruin your idea of dignity, self-giving, and gentleness -- is greatly influenced by pr0nz. And the more you watch, the more it erodes your ability to see clearly re: sexuality.

Considering what I've been called in the past, I'm considering this a compliment. :|

Also, please pass on word to Boozer and Red. Please AND thank you. ;)

warning: some profane language. I saw this on my FB feed today, about a porn actress who announces that she is quitting the business. It's a good reminder of the brokenness these men and women face. Of course Catholics are going to make a natural law/religious argument. Our disgust with pornography, as well as other sins against chastity is wrought out of a benevolent concern for the other. People are meant to be loved, not used.

I don't understand why you posted that video exactly. She said she has respect for the industry and all in it. Clue me in.

I'd much rather see what you have to say about the subject than your criticism of how other people think.

I did say what I have to say. I think Christians are part of the problem. They are as uncritical about media as the rest of society. Christians want to create "Christian media" rather than questioning the media. They question the CONTENT of the media (pornography, violent movies, etc.) but they don't question the media itself. People in a movie theater are in as much a trance as people in their home watching pornography. Electronic media is very different from, say, live theater, or liturgy. Pornography is just another aspect of a society that is flooded with images. The old Christian concept of "custody of the eyes" no longer exists in Western society. We have embarked on a society where everything is commercialized...the eye has to be constantly busy, constantly consuming new advertising, new media, new diversions. The modern flood of imagery has nothing to do with the old Christian culture of iconography. Christians today put a bunch of pixels on a computer screen and call it "online adoration." Personally I think that's blasphemous. But it's part and parcel with the online image worship of pornography. The old Christian iconography was something real, permanent, incarnational. Modern "icons" are pixels on a screen, fleeting, seductive, idolatrous.

I'm critical of Christians because they're supposed to be the salt of the earth. I could be critical of the ungodly, but what for? "[size=4][color=#000000][font='Times New Roman']For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?[/font][/color][color=#000000][font='Times New Roman'] For we are not, like so many, peddlers of God's word; but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ." (2Corinthians 2:15-17).[/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font='Times New Roman']If Christians have nothing to say except to be petty moralizers, they'll make a lot of noise, but their word falls on deaf ears. The world isn't listening. And neither are Christians themselves (one reason among others why Christianity has become irrelevant in Western society).[/font][/color][/size]

So you want to do away with the Internet? You use it. What's the reasoning behind that? Shouldn't you start the movement by no longer using it?

The internet causes billions of images to appear on millions of computer monitors around the planet. From this galaxy of sight and sound will the face of Christ emerge and the voice of Christ be heard?
--Pope John Paul II, Message for World Communications Day, 2002

I'd rather stay plugged into the century I'm in and make a difference with the mediums popular now.
