your views on modern day porn consumption

[Catholic_Lady]

That's good that you normally don't use porn while you have a girlfriend. 

I know there's been women here who have said their husbands look at it and they don't care, but it's very different for me. I would feel devastated and betrayed if my husband had any sort of porn habit. It would make me feel inadequate and like a violation of something sacred and special that is supposed to be shared exclusively between us. But then again, that comes with the territory of having very different views of sexuality.

This is just how far I've gotten so far.  Stopping to check out recommended videos is really slowing me down.  [j/k]

I think hearts and flowers kind of sex may be insufficient for men in the long run.  Pretty sure it doesn't do it for all women either.  But so long as you don't see the just-for-fun aspect of sex, you wouldn't know.  There is something sacred about sex but that's really because of its being a kind of intimacy.  Sex is more than that and if after some number of years you find your husbands physiological response flagging hopefully you'll be willing to explore ways to resurrect him even if that takes you beyond the bounds of sex-as-intimacy.

Here is a reflection question for all the theists in the house: do you think that, to the degree that God created anything, He also created fun on purpose?  If so, for what purpose?

Of course! Sacred and special doesn't mean it can't be fun, it means it should be! It wouldn't be a special thing if it were meant to be boring.
