Originally posted by RobinFinderson View PostI have a legit question that just might give this thread some legs again. What is pornography? When does the depiction of human sexuality cross the line and become something that most of you consider to be verboten and harmful?
I ask in all sincerity. We have many fans of The Wire, True Blood, Entourage, Quentin T., etc. There are graphic depictions of human sexuality in a lot of media that many of us enjoy. What is it about actually 'seeing something go in' that makes it more inherently harmful than simulacra? And when does simulacra cause harm?
For the orthodox members, these questions aren't such a big deal, but what about everyone else? What about the True Blood fans?"Yeah, but never trust a Ph.D who has an MBA as well. The PhD symbolizes intelligence and discipline. The MBA symbolizes lust for power." -- Katy Lied

I wondered how long it would take for someone to finally crush that softball. It has been hovering over the plate for nearly 2 weeks.Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss
There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

If you care about the Holy Ghost, and watching, reading or hearing something makes you feels the Holy Ghost's absence, then don't do it. If it makes you uncomfortable to watch or read or hear something, don't do it.

Porn and whoring are very close: you normally pay (not always w porn) for the convenience of not being nagged after the deed is done.
I know a couple of people who have struggled with porn addictions. I know a couple of people who have struggled with drug addictions; same with alcohol. I consider none of them as dangerous or problematic.
I don't like porn simply because it's not really my thing. Sitting around watching nasty, disease-ridden individuals perform contrived sex acts is pretty stupid, in my opinion.

This brings up a broader question of differentiating between leaving your comfort zone and actually leaving the Holy Ghost. I don't have this distinction down, and based on what I've observed in others, I'm not convinced they do either.At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah
