Bringing Home a Porn Star
A female commenter on Salon.com wrote in 2012:
“…and, yes, I’m one of those mythic women who actually like porn (but for
the record, we make up an estimated one-third of visits to adult sites)."
You’re not the only one. A conservative Christian group commented a few
years ago:
“Perhaps we should call it the Intercoursenet instead, as an estimated
28,258 people every second, mostly men (72%) but also women (28%) view
pornography. Every 39 minutes a new pornographic video is being created in
the United States.
Christians Aren’t Immune
“Christians aren’t immune. When surveyed, 53% of men who attended Promise
Keeper said they viewed pornography that week. More than 45% of Christians
admit that pornography is a major problem in their home.
“An anonymous survey conducted recently by Pastors.com reported that 54% of
pastors admitted viewing porn within the last year.
“In an online newsletter, 34% of female readers of Today’s Christian Woman
admitted to intentionally accessing Internet porn. One out of every six
women who read Today’s Christian Woman say they struggle with addiction to
pornography (Today’s Christian Woman, Fall 2003).
“If only virtual infidelity were limited to viewing strangers copulate in
what was once considered a sacred act just a few decades ago.
“In order to save, heal and protect our marriages from porn, we need to
adopt a broader understanding of this pernicious and slippery world, an
understanding that currently and unfairly pins most virtual infidelity on
husbands.
“The fact remains that electronic media, which includes the Internet, hunts
both genders. More and more women are not just viewing porn, they are
entering anonymous chat rooms and are more likely to act out in real life
what others just type about.
“And as marketers know…women…have fantasized about relationships with men
other than their husbands through soap operas, not to mention romance novels
and magazines such as Cosmopolitan and other little sisters of porn of
another kind.”

I really don’t have an issue with Christians viewing porn, fornicating, etc.
But why do they have to insist they “believe” ? Why can’t they just admit
they’re really *secular*, like everyone else?
