I received a comment today from a visitor which I think deserves discussion.

The visitor writes:
Well I am a 17 years old male and looking at porn isn’t a bad thing. Porn is some times just expressing your feeling and not having people know that you are sexually active. I grew up without a family and I’m pretty happy with what I do. I don’t look at porn often but sometimes at a young age it’s good. Because when you have sex for the first time you will never want to stop. I’m happy with looking at it because then I know that I’m not out getting girls pregnant.

If you read the rest of my blog you will know that I believe there is nothing good that can come from pornography. I just started a book called I Surrender All by Clay Crosse. His marriage and career were being destroyed by pornography .. here is an excerpt from his book:

“I was so out of touch with God that I was able to convince myself that He was okay with my using pornography because it provided me with a “safe” release for my lust. But pornography works as a catalyst on the body. Pictures of naked women or images of people having sex on a screen ignite a fire inside that has to be satisfied. They kick the natural sex drive into hyperdrive. The sex drive itself isn’t a bad thing. God designed this drive to work inside a marriage to draw a husband and wife closer to one another in love as they become one flesh. But porn revs up this drive and excites lust, not love. God’s gift of sex within marriage leads both partners to give themselves to one another. But lust does just the opposite. It moves the focus entirely upon one’s self, so rather than wanting to give of yourself, you want to take. You want satisfaction. And because the other party in this false romance is nothing more than an image on a screen or in a magazine, the desire for satisfaction leads to masturbation. My body became conditioned to this cycle, and I began to think about sex so much that I could hardly think about anything else. I liked the feeling lust built up inside of me, and I could get it quickly with porn. All the while I told myself, ‘Well, at least Renee and I aren’t sleeping together’.”

So if you think that pornography is not so bad and that once you are married it will be easy to stop, take some advice from Clay’s words above and from me — it doesn’t stop. There is no good side to pornography.
