Love and lust are not the same thing, nor are they related. Love is spiritual and emotional, lust is purely of the flesh. Don't conflate the two, unless you're trying to excuse some lustful ways as being wholesome.

Lust the use of the word and action is without heart.

The word is never used in a positive context; rather, it is always seen in a negative light, relating primarily either to a strong desire for sexual immorality or idolatrous worship. ...

Lets stop trying to make sex and lust dirty...it's not a dirty thing when done decently and in order... It's only dirty when the person makes it dirty...a thief always thinks someone else is a thief...lol

That's because we let the world take something good from God and contaminate it....lets take sex back and give it to it's rightful owners....married folks...man and woman..plus lust makes a pretty good night....lol

I have a married Christian coworker who has not been in the mood to have intercourse with their spouse.. Of course the spouse started to become frustated because of the lack of intimacy..So in order to get in the mood the coworker told me that they watched an erotic movie and it did the trick and the spouse was satisfied..so I pose the question to watch or not to watch to ask Can or should a Christian that is married watch an erotic movie? Why or why not?
It's called voyeurism, You have to watch other people do the deed in order for you to the deed and it is not of God.

Pornography is just as addictive as crack cocaine if not worse. If you can't perform your marriage duties with out it. then somethings bad, bad wrong. It will probably wreck your marriage.

@depleted I have never given any advice to this couple..I have only posed a question to my Christian family..that's what's wrong with us as the church..we can talk about everything except the real struggles and issues of believers..this is a needed conversation..we never know who else could be helped.
You're listening to way too much info though. What a couple does isn't something that should be talked about to anyone but the spouse, a doctor or a pastor.

Certainly not a water cooler, like this.

Pffft, and this is why.

Let's all tell our sexual preferences based on how we feel.

Shall we go back to the days of missionary position only too? Have we yet hit whether sex should only be done for procreation? Did we stick the old contraceptive question up for grabs? And, for Pete's sake, no one should ever, EVER eat pork.

We're going back to ye old Puritan standards, because we must -- MUST I TELL YOU -- control everything about other people's lives!

This is nothing but going back to clean vs. unclean, and damning anyone who might dare to disagree!

Carry on. You're going to anyway.

For those lurking, feel free to not be condemned by Other People's New-Rules List.

@Depleted.. If that were true the bible or the stories of the bible would have never been public view...because all the stories of the bible were used for us to learn from..besides no-one knows whom I'm speaking of..and I would never say...this is to help the body not to hurt......we all need help that may reach beyond our resources...this is only a discussion....how do you know that they didn't ask me to post this...this may not be the route that you would take but lets respect others decisions to do things differently than us...Talking about our struggles is not unbiblical...actually not talking about them is...The bible says confess your faults one to another...this has actually helped this person...

You do what ever you want to do in your bedroom, kitchen, laundry room, swimming pool. But, the what is being discussed is watching other people in their bedroom, Kitchen, laundry room, swimming pool.

To me intimacy starts with everyday life and I am speaking of my spouse only.... It is the raised eyebrow....that quirky look, the smile, the kiss on the forehead, reaching out to hold my hand as we are walking anywhere. It is paying attention to the small details of caring for the other person, as in fond thoughts of hubby as I fold the laundry and he takes the basket upstairs for me and puts the clothes away as I can't carry things up and down the stairs.

Then there are the little love notes left here or there.... a post it on the computer....making that phone call home letting hubby know I'm on my way home after doing errands, being thoughtful toward each other over so many little things... Truly caring about each other.... Listening to each other....shutting the computer to eat a meal together... Praying together and having family worship.... Talking with each other about the issues we struggle with....open honest communication.

Take care of the little things everyday and there won't be any problems in the bedroom....

Sounds as though this couple has forgotten what attracted them to each other and the reason they wanted each other to start with...no porn needed at all....forget looking at it as most of it is pure trash.

Its also the perverted music that most listen to because it is all it talks about. Marriage and loving someone is more than sex.
