    Certainly those who create pornography are committing a sin if they are having sex with someone they are not married to. Is it then a sin to watch pornography? You do not appear to be hurting anyone by watching. I suppose you are supporting it and therefore causing more creation of it but other than that angle is it wrong? I guess it depends on how you define lust. Is lust looking at something and desiring it or does it require more than that is it scheming and planning on how you are going to obtain it or is it being obsessed with it?

    if you don't condone the act, then being a consumer of it is bad. just think of kiddie porn. watching it doesn't actually hurt anybody, but it creates a market for the stuff which causes the problem.

    I was kinda hoping HB would chime in. I am not trying to start a thread to rail against it. I was just curious about what some of you thought.

    If you watch it and think it's bad (degrading to women and all that crap)...then you shouldnt be watching it. If you watch it and find yourself coveting one of the actors...that's bad and you shouldnt be watching it. Try gouging out your eyes as an incentive not to watch.

    I, personally, watch it and dont think it's bad. I've actually just added a new flick to my collection.

    This is all I have time for right now...

    "But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
