Porn, porn and more porn!
December 18, 2017 at 10:36 am
Now that I have your attention, time to address the elephant in the room. I have always just wondered why religion is so interested in controlling what people do with their bodies. I mean, how is masturbating or watching porn such a bad thing? Where does this concept stem from? Things like this to me just give more evidence that religion is more of a mechanism for control. I know in some religious circles watching porn or touching yourself is highly frowned upon and you will be treated like you just murdered hundreds of people.
What's the motive behind all this control?

It has many origins, not a single one, and it developed over time not as a single thought.
Off the top of my head...
1. Mysogyny. Scripture makes clear that women are to be treated as property. Which scripture? Pretty much all of them.
2. Wealth. Celibacy is simply a means of ensuring that the priests have no progeny to whom they may will their effects and thus dilute the churches wealth.
3. Control. Taking ownership of the most physical act one can do with another is a level of mind control that is difficult to fathom.
4. Subverting the basic humanity of the gullible. If one can somehow exercise control over the most basic of human urges, one can do and claim anything and get away with it.
Start with those basics, embed them into a doctrine, and now one has a religion which controls it's followers. Then it gets worse. Having imposed these simple doctrines, new "thinkers" arise who add to it and embellish it and so forth. It is about politics, control, wealth and power over the unwitting believers. Nothing more.

If you control sexuality of your flock, you can sell sex back to them.

Porn and masturbation is considered one of the gateway drugs to moral turpitude.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

It's due to a combination of sexual repression and some stupid shit said in a moldy old book.

"Moldy old book"? I like that one! Can I stash that away for the future?

Exploitation everyone should be against. Labor, even outside sex, can be very abusive and cause all sorts of health problems and physical harm to workers. Sex is no different.
But, when we are talking about ADULT actors whom are regulated and consent, and you choose to whack off watching it, then it is nobody's business.
