Sorry for getting personal, but just to drive the point home, my husband and I sext, send each other naked pictures, make "videos" together, use "play things", have sexy talk, use lingerie (just me), and pretty much anything else any healthy, happy couple does.
...All after we were married of course. 
Lol, same here. Lover's Lane and Victoria's Secret are some of our favorite shops. Though my wife has put a temporary ban on me going in to VS with her because last time I want in I asked the poor young girl working to measure my bra size and asked for a dressing room to try on some lingerie. I was only doing it to embarass the poor girl and have a little fun, but my wife wasn't happy.

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.

I've done similar, but the intent was not to mortify the sales girl, but to embarrass my guy. As I said, my sexual ID is a little off. It requires rather more communication. The guy in question appreciated it. My husband would not. But I'm rather careful of the sales people. They deserve a little consideration.

Porn is fun, I just don't take it too seriously. It's only problematic when people see it as an accurate representation of real sex, which it rarely (if ever) is.
Can't fake those giant porn hogs though!
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

I worked at VS for a while, I would have found it hysterical lol.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Whoops, probably my fault. Sorry.

Wonder how Islam feels about this? I wonder if dudes talk about breaking in their 11 yo wifes over a coffee. Fucking hypocritical animals!
