Another concept - PORN!

I put that in the title so you'd read it ha ha gotcha! Yesterday we had our friend Anjie and her boys Alex, Dylan and William at church with us. Gospel Doctrine was about the whole armor of God and really focused on the law of Castity. But really it was about Sex. So i though I'd post on a part of that law that has been on my mind ;)... well sort of.

So anyway it is about porn.

So what's porn? Does it have to be nudity? Does it have to be titillating? Who knows?. I heard a good definition. "It's not what you look at, it's what you see" So to me that's pretty broad, also it's tough to be honest with yourself on what your looking at. I think topless men could be porn, although its very socially acceptable (in other countries topless women are too). Right because it's not what you look at its what you see... do you see "sex" when you see a topless guy? Or do you see a kid with good muscles. I don't know each person's different. There is classic art that is nudity but we don't see it as porn right? The David is a good example, naked yes, sexy... no. But what about movies...hmmm. Ok I like certain actresses I do. But I'm not sure I'd like them naked. I like the way they look and enjoy them but I prefer them dressed. But is it Porn? I'm looking at them dressed and enjoying their appearance, shape whatever. so since I notice certain, shall I say "features" does it mean that I'm seeing porn? maybe I guess. It's a fine line that has more gray then black and white (to me). Like I said it's a concept that is different for everyone. The hardest part is being honest about what you are looking at and what you are seeing. It's amazing how two people can look at one thing and see two different things. I notice things my wife doesn't. But sometimes she'll notice things that I am not even paying attention to. So we are looking at the same thing, but seeing different things. I guess we see it and act on it or "dwell" on it is the danger. I know that we are to avoid all evils. I know that there is no way in the world to day to be perfect. I guess we should do our best to be in the right and stay out of the gray area all the time. I just think that sometimes we are thinking we are doing whats right or OK when we could be doing better. (I'm speaking to myself as if I'm writing to my self, it's just your fault for or privilege to read what I'm saying).
