RE: Why companies are trying to normalize pornography And how it dehumanizes people in the process
The way I see it, it's all just a matter of perspective.
Does someone necessarily debase themselves when watching or making porn? Couldn't it be the other way round, that they are actually worshiping our divine bodies? If we're made in God's image, than this deity certainly must have huge pendulous boobs and a curvy hourglass figure, as much as broad shoulders, massive biceps, and a six-pack abdomen. All of those features just invite one to touch, to caress, to squeeze, to kiss, right? And I haven't even touched on the sexual parts...
In my opinion, one can certainly find fulfillment in enjoying our bodies, each others bodies, or even in watching each other enjoy each other's bodies on a screen. Certainly, it's a far cry from intellectual stimulation, lasting love, or other more meaningful activities. But it is what it is: momentary satisfaction of our carnal lust, which by its nature of coming from our body, must be from God, so it can't be wrong.
This is just my view, by the way, and I do not intend to impose it onto others. Though I'm a bit sorry to see so much misunderstanding regarding the physical pleasures of our existence. Since this is an age-old problem, I'm also glad to see that it is finally getting resolved, gradually, bit by bit, but hopefully in a lasting way.
