I am sure God and Jesus would like it if you didn't. They probably don't approve of watching porn.

Is it really possible? You still lust after, I believe that is the whole appeal to porn.


This should be a filter for Christians in everything:

Philippians 4:8
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

If Jesus was in the room would you do it? (Sure, it doesn't work for all things, but a lot of things it does.)

Dude, the human body is nothing to be ashamed of. Nothing sinful with looking at David, or any other nude art or model.

It's lust that's the problem.

Yes, it's always better to close your eyes in the shower. Or in art museums. Down with nudity!

Regarding the original topic, I suppose it depends on what you mean by "just watch." I guess if you were writing some scholarly paper on the history of pornography or human sexuality or something...though beyond something like that, I don't really see what purpose one would have in watching porn beyond getting off.

If it's for aesthetic purposes only, sure. The key problem with it is lust.

Weren't people supposed to be naked, until Adam and Eve sinned? And what about doctors? Educators? Parents? It's not looking, It's lusting.

Yes it is wrong! It is an image that will never leave your mind. Watching porn does mess with you more than you can imagine. It is not good in any way.

There is generally a difference between nudity in art and pornography. nudity in art is focused on the beauty of the human body, but pornography is meant to stimulate sexuality. This is what I consider the difference in action, let's say in still photography. In pornography, the models are acting seductive and sexually inviting by using expressions and body language that communicates that. In artistic n***s, the models are acting more casual and not so inviting and the body language tends to be more neutral. But even what that being said, there is not a very clear line between artistic and pornographic.

But here's another thing to think about, whether you are looking at artful n***s or "just watching" porn, does it give sin a foothold in your heart (Ephesian 4:27, although the context is talking about letting go of bitterness, the same idea can be true for other areas too)? Sure, it is possible to watch that stuff and not give into lustful thoughts then, but that exposure could affect how you think and what you desire. I think this is the more important question, not "Is it okay?" but "does it cause a foothold?"

This is what I would go with. And...why would you want to look at porn in the first place? That's something you should honestly ask yourself. I mean, it's not right, and the bible...in some ways even if you're not looking at it like it's yourself.

Okay I'm only going to say one response and that's it. So if someone responds to my answer, I'm most likely not going to see it again.


In technicality ANYTHING is okay as long as it doesn't cause you to SIN

If you can watch porn without having issues with lust or sinful thoughts of premarital sex then you should be good to go. If you do then I'd stop watching it.

Its the same thing with masturbation. If it causes you to sin in lust and or causes your foot to STUMBLE then you need to stop doing it.

"You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.' But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
--Matthew 5:27-28.

You should check what your Bible says. If it says nothing you should get a student Bible it'll answer alot of qustions. But yes it is wrong. And you shouldn't watch it. It poisons too and is hard to keep out of your head. (I would know)
