You Didn't Evolve To View Porn

Capitalism has brought a lot. The great availability of basically EVERYTHING being available means that we must have personal responsibility. The porn is available for all who want it but the wise among us will simply cut it out, as hard as it may be to do so.

The horror of being a fapper is followed by repentance and the self chosen path to salvation. The path is NoFap and the reason that this forum exists is, of course... the same capitalism that put the porn there in the first place.

Isn't life fascinating?

 

Yep

Fuck porn!!! Who needs it anyway

 

Spare us the worthless socialist propaganda. Porn is bad and it has nothing to do with a society's economic model. The west was capitalistic for hundreds of years and porn was never an issue. One could make a stronger case for atheism and loose morals contributing to the proliferation of porn before you could a society's economy.

 

Our brokenness is the answer. Lust is simply a drive that promises more than it can deliver to help us deal with our brokenness. Sex in the right context is great. But it's bot the sex alone that nurtures us. Rape is also sex. Sex in the context of a loving, nurturing, growing relationship (best found in the security and commitment of marriage) is awesome. But sex is only a part of that healthy relationship, an aspect of it.

Lust, like the OP means it, is the idea that sexual behavior, in and of itself, including even twisted forms of sexual behavior, will somehow touch our inner needs. It disappoints bec it fails to, every time, even though it always looks so promising at the beginning.

Capitalism isn't the problem here. High speed internet isn't the problem here. People's lust simply capitalizes upon new technologies, thinking that the latest advance will bring us that much closer to enabling our lust-driven (not love-driven) actions to meeting our deeper needs. But they won't, as we have all learned here. If it wasn't high speed internet it will be something else. VR and robots are next. We can try to closely approximate humans, or we can actually develop meaningful relationships with real humans... the choice is ours, and it's so simple.

But our brokeness still remains on some level, and only God can deal with that. The economy, politics, science, lust, sex, & relationships can only do so much. There is inner spul work that needs to be done.

 

Yes, Neither do God.
