We live in such a twisted world. Instagram is basically porn if you swipe through and look at all the women and men who post completely inappropriate images. The internet is so easy to access and has so much in it. Movies these days have scenes that are not necessary but are put in so that you want to keep coming back over and over again.
The world wants to cover up and think that women dont have a problem and arent visual like men are when there are such a large portion of women who are dealing with the lust issue. And it starts with this. Pornography is a seed that grows or it can become a way to satisfy the flesh in an emotionally unavailable way so that you dont have to have contact with another person. It can be escapism.
So instead of dealing with our issues we are doing a quickie at home where no one sees, except the one who it matters the most- God. He sees all those secret sins that we cover up and call “little”. I mean everyone in our sodom and gomorah society are doing it anyways, so why should I worry about it? Its normal.
Plus when I get married it wont matter anyways.
Until it does…
We need to bring these issues to the front and start talking about them at church and in the environments we are apart of as if they matter. Because they do.
There are children that are on pornography sites that may not have ever been paid because they were trafficked. There are women and men who never learned to value themselves so they allow you to consume them for free on an internet site and deem them worthy of a few minutes of your time. There are so many morally wrong issues with continuing to visit porn sites and masturbation just allows you to break the commandments that talk about fantasizing and how its like adultery.
And yet we still do it, because no one is talking about it. Everyones hiding it and everyone does it.
But that still doesnt make it right.
