A while back I was trying to think of a name for a Christian porn magazine. I know; it’s a weird way to spend a Sunday.
I was making fun of myself for starting a pitch to a Christian magazine with this sentence: “I slept with the prophetess.” (I actually just spent the night at her house.) At the time I hadn’t heard back from the magazine and figured that the opening would have probably been better suited for a Christian porn magazine. That’s why my mind went there. As it turns out, they published the story I pitched a few months later.
I eventually settled on Porn-Again Christian as the title for my fake magazine, but not before stumbling upon some sites advocating for Christian porn. Apparently it exists. I did a post mocking Christian porn and, as of today, 12,808 people have searched for “christian porn” and found my site.
Lord, held me.
To me christian porn (porn with married couples with wedding rings visible) seems pretty hypocritical and shouldn’t be blended together. I joked in the original post: “What do Christians and Larry Flint have in common? They are both offended by Christian Porn.”
The consensus among the commenters of the post seemed to be that Christian porn kinda went against the whole “covet thy neighbor’s wife” and lust is a deadly sin things. A few commenters have left interesting comments, defending Christian sex, but not defending Christian porn. (Note: I wasn’t attacking Christians having of the sex and I’m sorry if that was inferred.) But few of them actually came to the defense of porn.
Until this week when the post received this comment:
-
I can not believe their is no christian porn. People need it in context of marriage instead of watching the trash from the secular community. Me and my husband like to watch each other on a video and would like to watch other detailed video of other people. There has to be a place for this. This is just not right. I fully believe that Jesus died for me and that is enough. I do not have to live in sexual immorality to watch some porn. All things are ok to do to those who walk in faith but to do but some things are not beneficial. Porn is very beneficial to me and my husband as a christian.
One question…
Should I delete all of my Christian Porn posts including this one? I like generating traffic and pulling new people into my conversations around here, but not all visitors are created equal.
