Marriage Bed Perversion for November

Yes, as a public service, each month Malott's Blog describes one perverted act that is, well... Just wrong, even in the marriage bed. Who better to make these judgements?

Pornography in the Bedroom

I went to a Christian School... Milligan College... and one day in Humanities Class the philosophy professor said that any act in the Marriage Bed that went beyond simple sexual intercourse, was perversion.

Poor Mrs. Professor.

However, twice in my adult life I have been shocked to learn that church-going married couples that I knew and respected used X-Rated Movies in their bedroom to inflame their desire for each other and enhance their love-making.

"But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Matthew 5:28

Case closed. I don't know what it is like for women, but men should avoid porn as if it were plague... Because it is. Marriage doesn't make pornography OK any more than it makes getting drunk with your spouse OK. And ladies, if your man takes you after watching porn, he isn't making love with you.

Q&A... Where the venerable Malott warmly responds to the questions of young couples.

Stan asks: "Mr Malott, if porn brings my wife and me closer together, isn't that a good thing?"

Malott answers: Stan, you make a good point. When you get to Hell, send me a post card.

Julie asks: "Mr Malott, I have trouble feeling amorous. But watching pornography makes me feel uninhibited and daring."

Malott answers: That's because you're a slut, Julie. Get some therapy.

I hope this was helpful!

The soul of pornography is selfishness and exploitation of the weak and broken. If you can't convince yourself that it's harmful to you, think about and pray for the souls of the people performing in pornographic materials and the soul-less world they live in. What kind of damage and lack of dignity does it take to get someone to go there? How would a good father feel about his daughter being a porn performer?

Grammy,

Well said.

It's not a victimless endeavor if you're giving money to a predatory industry that destroys lives.

I must tell you Chris, I love your public service posts.

Thank you for posting the issues ordinary bloggers won't!

Janice,

Thanks. It's true that I have an almost heroic sense of civic duty.

Grammy,

You're so right. My heart breaks for the pain the porn-star women have gone through that drove them into that industry. For a large number of them, it was their fathers who did those things to them first. (No, I'm not talking about me!)

Wow...I'm impressed Malott.

Pornography does appeal to lust. There's no love in it. There's no self-respect; there's no respect period. I'm surprised N.O.W. and others haven't had a huge outcry against the victimization of women (and men, btw)against the porn industry.

Love is more than a simple biological function. Love is reaching beyond selfishness. Love looks out for the other person, the inner person. The person with thoughts and feelings and emotional needs. This is the difference between lust and love. Love seeks the spiritual connection that happens when two truly become one.

That's something the porn industry can never, ever, give to anyone. But it can keep people from experiencing that marriage gift G-d gives.

Oh, yeah...Malott? Your SNL-esque Q & A is getting a little too much like Jane Curtin and Dan Akryoid skits. It's almost scary! Talk about some R-E-S-P-E-C-T needed???? Maybe????

Think about it??? SMILE



You did good.
