The dangers of porn
Porn is like smoking. The bible doesnt address it because it didnt exist a the time the bible was written. The bible is meant to be followed and not policed. What a person does in the comfort and privacy of heir own home is nobodys business. That being said, what effect does watching porn have on a person? Beside the fact that some people watch porn and commit sex crimes, porn glorifies the sex act without preparing a person to deal with the realities of dealing with being in a relationship. There are no smells in porn. Porn may be the reason strangers are having sex. It was not always like this. At one time people didnt have sex until there were married. At one time a female who had sex with multiple partners was shunned by society. Now whores are glorified. Self respect is an outdated concept. The act of sex is being glorified while the realities of life are being ignored, People want to have sex because it feels good but dont wish to endure the trials and tribulations that come with being in a relationship. Watching porn does not prepare you to deal with a relationship. In fact, it does not prepare you for marriage, it does prepare you to find another partner after the breakup.

And, while I'm at it, people have "smoked" something since around 5,000 BCE.
How can you be so positive that you're right, when anyone with any knowledge of how to search the Internet, continually proves you wrong? Your ability to deny the obvious truth to any particular subject is totally mind-boggling. How many branches did your head hit as you fell rom the tree? Sir, you must be drain-bramaged. There's no other rational explanation to the degree of ignorance you display on this site.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_smoking"The history of smoking dates back to as early as 5000 BC in the Americas in shamanistic rituals. With the arrivals of the Europeans in the 16th century, the consumption, cultivation, and trading of tobacco quickly spread. With the modernization of farm equipment and manufacturing bore the cigarette following reconstruction in the United States. This method of consumption quickly expanded the scope of consumption, which grew until the scientific controversies of the 1960s, and condemnation in the 1980s.
Cannibis common in the Middle East before the arrival of tobacco, and is known to have existed in at least 2000 BC. Early consumption of cannabis was a common social activity involving the type of water pipe called a hookah.
Previously eaten for its medicinal properties, opium smoking became widespread during the 19th century from British trade with China. This spawned the many infamous Opium dens. In the latter half of the century, opium smoking became popular in the artistic communities of Europe. While Opium dens continued to exist throughout the world, the trend among the Europeans abated during the First World War, and among the Chinese during the cultural revolution.
Modernization of cigarette consumption and increased life expectancy during the 1920s made adverse health effects more noticeable. In 1929, Fritz Lickint of Dresden, Germany, published formal statistical evidence of a lung cancertobacco link, which subsequently led a strong anti-smoking movement in Nazi Germany. The subject remained largely taboo until 1954 with the British Doctors Study, and in 1964 United States Surgeon General's report. Tobacco became stigmatized, which led to the largest civil settlement in United States history, the Tobacco Master Settlement (MSA).
