Why is it these things are considered so bad according to religion? Or at least the Abrahamic ones? I don't see as long as it's not hurting one, then why is it really such a big deal?
Porn is bad because it desensitizes the male in most relationships.
Remember when boobs were a very big deal? if you grew up outside a big city in the 70s or 80s as a kid boobs were like the holy grail. to even see a pair semi coherently drawn was a big deal because we as kids did not know what that stuff looklike. Now remember seeing your first playboy and the perfect air brushed set in there? Now do you remember seeing jenny from down the block's set of boobs? Unless her last name was lopez I doubt they came anywhere near that perfect playboy set. Jenny's one torpedo boob bigger than the other kinda freaked people out, when they knew what perfection looked like... Now imagine if you never saw that playboy and jenny's boob was the only one you ever saw. Do you think you could be happy with that? (if she were otherwise a good kind of freak but not crazy?) Now imagine you both starting off on the same level? Seeing her stuff was awesome and her not knowing of your 'short comings' was also equally awesome for her as well. Imagine how simple and wonderful it would be to figure stuff out as you go together.... It's like you start out in grammer school, move to jr high to senior high to collage together and work on each other to become masters or Dr. of love....
But enter porn all the innocence gone. all the little quaint curiosity gone. all the exploration and sexual sharing gone... why? because at @13 when I and my buddies were trying to figure out what shape a boob should be, kids today are working on how to rebuild Sodom and Gomorrah with each other. So Imagine being on of the few porn hasn't destroyed sexually and then meeting a nice person your age, but he/she is a "level 30 shade of grey..." How long can a relationship like that last?
Not to mention Porn is all about exploring the taboo. what happens when all the legal taboos have been explored?
It's like what I say happened in the garden... God placed Adam and eve in a garden 2/3 the size of north America, and yet the story in Gen 2 has them in the center of the garden next to the tree of knowledge... Why? because I postulate that as big as the garden was, they were in it soooo long (as long as evolution needed to catch up outside the garden) that the forbidden fruit was the only mystery left.
What are society's current forbidden fruit? incest and children.
We can already see incest in just about every movie or show.. may not be a main theme but there is always a joke or reference in some way shape or form. Then what is left Children. We have already sexualized high school aged girls in society... how much more porn will it take??? because it never stays static. Sexual desire always has to change always has to grow into something more.
Porn is bad because it over matures the watcher sexually. Which can isolate the watcher and alienate potential mates. if enough people get in this mind set society shifts and you gotta wait in traiffic for "another pride" parade to sasche past your intersection down town.
