Porn and Christians

Porn is not a replacement for actual sex, nor should it be, but rather it's a form of entertainment. The goal of watching porn is more often than not, self pleasure, whereas the goal of sex is about pleasuring your partner (and being pleasured in return). I haven't completely caught up on the thread, so this may have been addressed already... but I wanted to say that while I have libertine views about other people's chosen methods of sexuality, I am fairly "traditional" in that respect. On the other hand, I've done almost everything it's possible for a straight guy to enjoy, since I'm not averse to a "try it to see if you like it" philosophy. While I won't say that I'm not turned on by porn, I tend not to enjoy it for its own sake; watching strangers having sex (knowing it is for money and is often exploitive, I'm especially turned off if I see elements in it that make my brain call BS) does very little for me. To me, it is about intimacy and connection, and there's very little of that in porn. I have found some erotic literature that does it for me, since that more commonly has story and a sense of interpersonal connection. I think that what you said about artistic nudes is a good point. We see sexual arousal in things more easily if we consider them taboo, something which has that element of danger/excitement to it, which might account for the higher rates of religious types engaging in those activities. I have a friend who used to run a swingers' club, and I joked about hippies with him, one time, and he quickly corrected me: his main customers, by far, were the ultra-conservative types. He joked in return that his club's parking lot on a Saturday night had so many Republican bumper stickers that it looked like a GOP/CPAC convention.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.  (October 5, 2015 at 10:49 pm)Exian Wrote: I'm with you, MTL. I really don't go for the obviously fake. Not that it's bad if its your thing, but my take on it is- if you look exactly the same naked as you do dressed, then you're really not offering up any vulnerability, and it's exactly that trusting exposure that I find incredibly sexy and intimate. Nothing turns me on more than trusting me with your flaws. Interesting. Does the same apply if a partner trusts you enough to tell you a fantasy she's never shared? Or something new that she had to work up the nerve to ask you to try? What if the thing that she wants to do, specifically, doesn't turn you on ....but the fact that she trusted you enough to ask, in the first place....does?

I find him amazing and so well played, but not attractive. I think it's because I used to know this guy in school who looked like him, who I ended up hating. I love the irony that Neville's actor ended up the hottest as an adult though. Epic puberty win.

I love alan rickman. I loved the dark, complex, tragic character of Snape. and I dig the intelligent, witheringly sarcastic, badass authority-figure thing. You're right...in the face, he isn't physically attractive at all. It all comes from within. ...and yes, Neville grew up to be the hottest, lol.

Nothing turns me on more than trusting me with your flaws. Yes! Definitely. The biggest turn off in the world to me is being judgmental. Little things like this show me that you aren't judgmental, and I'm likely to try anything with/for you, even if I wouldn't particularly be into it otherwise. It probably stems from my own insecurities. I know I can let them go when a partner is willing to show me their insecurities. Once insecurities are thrown out for both parties, everything gets a lot more relaxed and exciting at the same time. Little graphic story: I enjoy the company of old folks for the same reason. Yeah, there's the bigotry stereotype with old people, but you also find the ones that have seen it all, and just don't judge a god damned thing. They're easy to be around.
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  RE: Porn and Christians

Oh, wow:
Christian porn gif Google image that. I was just trying to find a meme. Quite interesting that Christian porn is so gay.

I'm really not susprised, they're secretly fascinated.

I managed an adult video store for six years. If you want to think I'm lying because I'm saying it does nothing for me, that's your business. But believe me, when you see it 50 hours a week for six years, it rather loses its, uh, charms. |
