Example of pornography:

{{etymology|[[Greek]] πορνή (''porné'') a prostitute and γράΦω (''grapho'') I write}}[[Image:Pornography.jpg|200px|right]]

 

'''Pornography''' is the explicit representation of the human body or sexual activity used for the intent of stimulation.  As an [[addiction]] it depends on patterns, comparable to addictions to [[gambling]] and televised [[football]].  These [[addiction]]s can be overcome by taking an interest in healthy patterns: geometric games such as online [[chess]] (which millions play regularly), military history, visuals as found in [[architecture]] or the outdoors, and more challenging intellectual activity such as [[mathematical]] [[topology]].

Pornography usually consists of images depicting the satisfaction of the sort of "unnatural lust" which leads to damnation. ({{Bible ref|book=Jude|chap=1|verses=6-7}})  It destroys the mind as [[gambling]] does and, even worse, '''pornography''' leads to terrible crimes against women, men (especially young ones) and children.<ref>https://www.un.org/rights/dpi1772e.htm</ref><ref>http://www.forerunner.com/forerunner/X0388_Effects_of_Pornograp.html</ref> Pornography has also been shown to cause erectile dysfunction, even in young men. <ref>https://www.yourbrainonporn.com/erectile-dysfunction-question</ref> The Greek word πορνεία (''porneía'') appears several times in the [[New Testament]] as a sin that, unless repented of, will prevent one from entering heaven; however, such a word in Ancient Greek mostly referred to [[sexual immorality|illicit sexual relationships]] (such as adultery and incest), prostitution, and also, in a broader sense, idolatry.

* When Christ said "any man who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart," He made it clear that chastity—and unchastity—does not begin with what we do, but rather in what we think. Therefore, deliberately seeking such stimulation outside a committed marriage, even via the imagination, constitutes a sin against [[chastity]].<ref>[http://www.catholiceducation.org/articles/sexuality/se0051.html Banishing Unchaste Thoughts]</ref>

Christ makes clear in the above passage that there is no such thing as "safe, healthy use of pornography."  Any viewing of pornography is neither safe nor healthy.  There is no such thing as "manageable viewing of pornography" or viewing of pornography that is "normal development."  Rather, the viewing of pornography is a sinful act that dishonors God and transgresses His Word.

Pornographic images have been proliferating at a remarkable rate. What was a $5 million-a-year enterprise merely 25 years ago has boomed to a $7 billion to $10 billion-a-year industry today... the fastest growing sectors of the industry are pornographic DVDs, cable television, and phone sex. Pornography is no longer confined to the seedier sections of town. With the advent of the Internet, it has become readily available to all, including children, and in the privacy of our own homes.<ref>[http://www.religion-online.org/showarticle.asp?title=759 Censorship or Education?]</ref>
