But don’t you think that the availability, quantity, choice, and expense of consuming it makes the current era way different from anything of the past? Given a certain level of technology, there just aren’t any comparable limits like there was in the past. Not saying the desire wasn’t there, just the technical limitations tended to act as a governor. Now people can watch on their phones.

Marital aids.
I know this isn’t the point the thread — which strikes me as perfectly valid — but when I first heard Mayer sing that song in that creepy, droning whisper I said to the radio, “if someone like you ever got near my daughter, I’d make sure he never did again” — that’s a) how good my instincts as a father are and b) how transparently smarmy he is. Have never like him and he’s overhyped as a guitar player on top of it.
If a person works at work and watches [legal] porn at home, they are perfectly safe. If a person watches porn at work, they are asking to be fired at least because they don't do what they are supposed to do.
All things considered, even a terabyte of porn at home cannot get you fired. However a "wrong" joke at work can cost you your job. Or a Presidential nomination, as it happened to one Herman Cain.
My impression is that the increase in media and the migration to large cities is causing this.
Back in the olden days, the boy at the farm two miles away that was close to the age of the girl was judged to be a good match for the daughter. He might not have been matinee idol handsome, but he was a good worker from a good family.
My impression now is that young women are all after the same couple of hundred guys. They want the guy in the band or in the movie. They are not going to lower their sights and accept somebody less. They shouldn’t have to.
This allows the guys who look right to the young ladies to then use them. They are the goal and they know it. This then sours the young ladies on all men. They then want wealth. We may have talked a lot about love in the 1960s, but our daughters are way more financially sophisticated.
Beautiful children or big money. If you can’t provide those, then write all the poetry you want because the girls are waiting for someone who can provide those.
I think the fact that an accidental pregnancy can make a young man a slave to the government for 20 years or so could have something to do with it. The laws in this country are now set up to screw men in every aspect of relationships with women. The feminists did that, now they are unhappy when men decide to opt out.
Congratulations! You have moved into a place most will never find.
I have been married for 23 years.
My intimacy with my wife grows better every day.
If you will trust in the Lord Jesus Christs righteousness he will give you satisfaction beyond anything immorality has to offer. You can be hers and she can be yours.
ummmm.....
I would not agree, for the same reasoning that lung cancer is all due to smoking..
I believe they said the same thing about nudist colonies and Playboy fifty years ago.
Yet marriage is the picture that God gives of His relationship to the Church. A relationship where the husband loves his wife enough to give His life for her, and the wife respects her husband enough to give up her control for Him.
It’s not a business arrangement. It’s not a “what’s in it for me?” For men and women it’s a chance to learn where they are still immature brats and be forced to grow up. Growing up is worth that pain, and what is born out of it all is the ability to love without thought of what you get back. “Fireproof” is a fantastic movie that really addresses what real love is. It doesn’t just happen in marriage, but marriage is a place where it is tested beyond most other relationships.
I understand men being afraid, but love is worth it. The trick is to find a spouse who is ALSO willing to be filled with Jesus’ love and to spend a lifetime passing on that love and growing out of their own selfishness. If both people are doing that, it’s a totally different ballgame than what you’ve described, which is truly a scary prospect.
The West is dead. Fleeing to Russia looks really good now. Their civilization is not ay a risk of collapse unlike ours.
Soap operas are basically porn for women, and they can be just as damaging as male porn, for the same reasons.
Point made, and accepted.
Oddly, a week ago, I read that men are turning to porn more because they can’t be bothered with the games women play between who’ll Theyll date and who they want to be with and what they say they want and what they seem to want....
Algore invented the Internet and barack Obama is destroying the Internet with his FCC getting control of the Internet
Unless you’re the son of an upper management type and a minority to boot. Stay on the payroll, get an office, and a promotion, presumably out of the way.
Well, let’s see what happens when Planned Parenthood finds out!!!
I think I’m turning Japanese, I really think so.
Is Real Doll business booming?
