Porn and Christians

[Catholic_Lady]

Care to clarify the rubby-snubby episode with a little boy?

Yes. These were the days when I was deepak-chopra fan and into Hinduism and New Age bullshit. I was already a fully confessesed Bisexual and tried to hide that from my conservative Christian parents who would beat the crap out of me if they did know.

I was fifteen at the time and the little boy was nine. We were really good friends and we liked each other's looks a lot. It started with innocent and awkward holding-hands a little too often. Then it came to the point where we would both touch each other secretly in certain *places* in the body when people weren't looking especially when we went swimming. I think the whole thing was strange because I thought nine years olds haven't gone through puberty yet?

(WARNING: Religious talk below)

Well anyways, I was a nasty pedophile, a big hypocrite, and a bi and I couldn't bare the guilt of my perverse life. Then two years ago, I cried a lot, repented and gave my life to Jesus and asked Him to change me from the evil pervert that I was and God did just that. That's why I'm such a conservative dude and you see my as an extreme anti-sex kinda guy. I am the very opposite of what I was before and this is one of the many reasons why I believe Jesus is real and God exists because of his changing powers in my life.

LOL!!!

Careful though. You're gonna get yourself banned with the pedophilia talk, even though you are joking. I wouldn't want to see you banned. You're too much fun.

btw, even if it were true (which im sure it isnt, mind you), this wouldn't make you a pedophile because at 15 you'd be a kid yourself.

There's a specialist term for men who say, that while there's nothing wrong with porn, they themselves don't find it stimulating - "liars".
Don't get me wrong - I used to say the same thing, back when I gave a sh*t about what people think of me and when I thought I was fooling anyone.

Men are incredibly easy to excite - a rudely shaped vegetable is often enough, let alone audio-visuals of people having sex.
Sure - we've been taught that such reactions to indirect sexual stimuli is shallow, immature and unbecoming of a gentleman, but just because we can supress those instincts - that doesn't mean we don't have them.

Sure - many people abstain from erotic entertainment, at least to a certain degree (since we apparently have to have a f***-scene in pretty much every movie directed at adults), but that's just adherence to cultural norms, which have been forced on us since childhood.

That's exactly what I was thinking as I read people's statements that porn doesn't excite them.  Not just men, but women as well.  When I was a Christian I used to say the same thing, but whenever I would see porn or sexual images, even unintentionally, I could not control the instinctual (and almost reflex) reactions my body and mind had, which was to be turned on.  

I now gladly enjoy those instinctual reactions instead of feeling ashamed and in denial about them.

Believe it or not, not everyone is the same with the same turn on's. Some people are just not into porn.

Meh that last post wasn't funny. Go back to talking about wheelchair buttsex please

Explain that shit soon, or else it's getting reported.

Yes.

Also, hard to stifle my hypocrisy detector when we've got a guy who calls sex between consenting unmarried adults "evil", but talks about playing with a little boy.

Its ok man. I am a hypocrite, a judgemental idiot, and pervert. I'm a sinner, and I'm a disgusting, sick wad of a man. That's why Jesus said "I have come to heal the sick. I came to call the sick, not the righteous, to repentance."

Come on this is not hypocrisy. Obvious Poe is obvious, and amusing

Perhaps. It's been my experience that people online who ask what a Poe is after being called one usually are one but there are linguistic and cultural gaps here too ... perhaps.

Bambi, the only reason the church hasn't banned sex between husband and wife is because if they banned it, then      they lose the next generation of clientele! The beemers aren't gonna pay themselves off you know! If they were able to get around that aspect of reality, they would've. But I am surprised that the church doesn't tax Christians for every child born. I mean babies are God's property and the church would be collecting on his behalf, right!

I'm not Catholic brow. So I'm not part of that kind of an organized Church. I just have different views on sex because of my conscience and the Bible . I mean, come on, don't tell me you didn't feel guilty banging your girlfriend outside of wedlock? Or masturbating at some whore in a magazine?

I think that's the problem. Masturbation is practicly a dirty word in my culture because A) it's a sin against God (although i don't know why he'd care) and B) because it gives off the impresion that you cant go find a woman to have sex with. At least that is what it seemed to me.
This idea is absurd . It hurts no one and makes no unwanted babies.

marriage is NOT a requirement to have sex. Never has been. However the xtains want it to be a requirement so they push their idea of feeling guilty if you do have sex outside of marriage on the adjacent culture.
I think that is shameful thing to do.

The power of sex should be respected but in no way should one be made to feel guilty without logical cause.

Then perhaps you'd ought to act on that awareness, and keep your own foibles in mind before you go castigating others?

Just a thought.

Your intelligent use of complex vocabulary left me confused. But yeah, I get you.

Bad quoting is bad. I don't want that quote I didn't say it.
