Yes, as it leads to lust and, like Light drugs lead to harder driugs, will elad to ahrder core porn.

It leads only to the devaluing of women and of th sex act while promoting fornicaitona dn evert kind of perversion.

No not Evil i think that it should only be seen by people over 21. it's healthy in some ways it helps some peoples sex lives. and also men are men there going to look. is'nt it better to look at it on the internet than going to strip clubs spending your familys mony?

Let's read a short passage or two, from the book of Kings, chapter 11:

''. . . It happened that David arose from his bed after noon and walked upon the roof of his [the king's] house; and he saw from the roof a woman washing herself . . . and the woman was very beautiful . . . the king sent and inquired who the woman was. He was told that she was Bethsabee (Bathsheba) daughter of Eliam, the wife of Urias the Hethite.

David sent messengers and took her, and she came in to him, and he slept with her. And presently she was purified from her uncleanness, and she returned to her house, having conceived. She sent and told David, and said; I have conceived.''

In the passages that follow, (read later) we see how David, in order to cover up his adultery, had Bethsabee's husband sent into mortal combat so he'd be killed. --Which he did deliberately. And he married Urias' wife. The two grave sins he committed: adultery and murder.

David would never have committed these sins; except that he spied on a beautiful woman -- a married woman taking a bath in her own house. His eyes led him into two mortal sins; and David was a good man! He loved God with all his heart!

If you're a man you have to control your eyes around women. Most of all beautiful women, Greg. That means in the flesh, in films, in a photo, no matter. If you cannot control your eyes, you won't be able to control your hormones or your hands or anything about your sex drive, which God commands us to keep for MARRIAGE alone.

If you're a man your sex drive is so powerful it drags you into sin, like a team of wild horses. To live like a man, and not a dog in heat, you must keep strict control of that sex drive every day. Every night and every moment. Above all, by avoiding temptation through the eyes. A true MAN has eyes only for his spouse; the woman he marries. The mother of his children. Whoever breaks God's commandments doesn't deserve to be a man. It would have been better if he'd been born a dumb animal. Try to remember that-- so that if you sin, it will help bring you to repentence.

chris, there are two errors in your post...

1) men are men and there[sic] going to to look.

no, in todays society "men" are generally boys. to be a man requires virtue, self control, stoic nature, honorable and courageous. it is precisely the emotional/spiritual immaturity forming in our society which promotes the false belief that we have no control over our own urges.

2) Looking at pornographic materials on the internet is better than going to strip club and spending money.

NO, NO, NO. this is a lesser of two evils arguement that is unnacceptable. there is ALWAYS one path which produces no evil whatsoever, and that path is sometimes difficult to take. in this case that path is to avoid the stain of sin at all. we are bound, as creatures of God, to rightiousness, not to limited evil.

I think Jesus made it pretty clear when He said : "I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart." (Matt 5:28)
