I don't agree with Christianity painting sex as bad. Many of them do. Sex is NOT bad in and of itself and when young teens are made to be very self conscious and feel ashamed when they have base biological urges, that creates very confused people. Losty's post summarizes this.
I don't think my Christianity has anything to do it Jenny. I felt this way before I became a Christian at 18.
That's pretty much what I guessed about you.
My suspicion is that the reason Christians tend to use more porn than others is that some brands of Christianity put so many kinds of sex off limits, that porn becomes the only outlet. And I do mean some brands. Not all forms of Christianity are inherently anti-sex.
No you are absolutely right. They make something that is a natural thing and paint it as something awful. Or restrict it so much as you say, they turn to any outlet that's readily available.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
