Here's a direct quote from the Dr. Phil website.  Also below is a link from same for controlling jealousy.  "Pornography isn't real, it's a fantasy. It's makeup, beauty lenses, hair extensions, camera angles, lighting and silicone! It's also somebody's daughter who has taken a really, really wrong turn. She's demeaning herself, debasing herself, humiliating herself and she's being exploited by people who are funded by you. It is a sick, demented, twisted world. It's not healthy, it's not natural and it's not normal."  This is why you feel this way.

Porn is like shoplifting.  It's the something for nothing mentality.\n\nAll the adrenaline without any risk or vulnerability or even having to consider the wants and needs of another human being.  It's completely selfish.\n\nIt sets men up to have an unrealistic expectations of what women want and what we're like.  It makes them insensitive as lovers.\n\n“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.  Matthew 5:27-28\n\nSounds like cheating to me.

Whenever you answer a question about whether something is morally correct or right, you have to identify the criteria you have for making moral judgments.  If it is just one person's opinion versus another opinion, then there is no right or wrong answer.  If we all make up our own rules as to what is right and what is wrong, then who is to say that my rules aren't as good as your rules?  If rules only apply to the one who makes them up, well then that makes it easy to be perfect.  I'll just make up whatever rules I want that make me look perfect and you look bad.\n\nI believe that we don't have the moral right to make up our own rules about what is right and what is wrong.  You are free to make up your own rules, but you will still be wrong.  Do I have the moral right to make up rules for you?  No, I do not.  But God has the right to make up the rules, or reveal to us what the rules are.  It is the only real standard of truth.  The rest is wishful thinking.  If you say that you do not believe in God, does that change anything?  No, it does not.  God is there, or he is not there, no matter what you think, feel, or believe.\n\nSo, to answer your question, God said that homosexual behavior was wrong.  It doesn't matter whether you think that is a good judgment or not.  There is absolutely no reason for anyone to accept the rules you make up as being valid for anyone.  You have to go outside of yourself to find the true standard.\n\nYes, I've had many conversations with those who practice homosexuality.  I do not believe God made them homosexuals.  They may have had a same sex attraction, but that is not the same thing as choosing to engage in homosexual acts or thoughts.

Conservatives, believe that sex outside of marriage is a sin, even thinking about sex outside of a marriage is considered a sin. Most modern religions are OK with enjoying sex, as long as it's in a marriage. Some more traditional religions sill believe that sex is only for procreation. But most of them even say you can enjoy it. \n\nSome old fashion people were taught that sex is something to be ashamed of.\n\nBut i think the biggest thing with porn is that it's a sin or it represents sins being acted on. Even religions that have nothing against masturbation, still believe that sex is something that should only be practiced with your spouse or by yourself, behind closed doors. Not with any items that represent sinful sex.

Porn is a form of entertainment, and like almost anything, it can be addictive for some people. Most sex researchers and therapists agree that for many people porn can be a healthy, normal aspect of erotic life. It is easy to make simplistic and judgmental statements about porn, and the people who enjoy it. Take buttercup’s response, for example. She says “it puts you in the gutter.” Notice that she in answering on behalf of the human race, but she has no actual knowledge of the issue. She does not know me, for example, so how does she know what effect porn has on me? We currently do not have reliable laws of psychology like we do for physics or chemistry. She talks as if the effects of porn are as predictable as the laws of gravity. She is simply wrong. Anyone with a background in science and even a little knowledge of psychology will tell you that statements of that sort belie blatant ignorance and deep prejudice. She cannot rationally say that porn makes me feel “dirty and sleazy” because she does not know me, and she cannot draw on any legitimate scientific theory or credible philosophical tradition to make such blanket claims.\n\nSorry, buttercup, I don’t mean to rag on you so intensely and I don’t really blame you for your beliefs – the majority of people would probably agree with you. But this same old song and dance is found ad nauseam in American culture and I think it takes a bit of drama to slap the majority out of their stupor. People need to start thinking for themselves rather than simply parroting majority views. Biological nature is fundamentally diverse. VARIATION is the law in biology. Different people are different and you cannot reasonably or ethically proclaim what is best for others in matters where there are no accepted scientific theories to guide us. Sex is a powerful drive, and is deeply entrenched in our emotional lives, so it is not surprising that porn can be addictive or compulsive for many people. And we all know that too much of anything can be problematic. Nevertheless, there is no reason to think that porn in moderation is necessarily harmful. I would even suspect that for some people, porn might be just what they need to find healthy mental and spiritual balance in their lives.\n\nIf you do a web search you will find plenty of sites warning us about the devastating effects of porn on individuals and society, but if you pay attention, you will notice that these pages are produced primarily by religious groups or anti-porn feminists. They do NOT represent the views of psychologists, sex researchers, or sex therapists. And, by the way, there are also a great many pro-sex feminists who disagree with the anti-porn folks. Christian-based groups in particular are flooding the media with anti-porn hype, but this is driven by religious doctrine, not logic, science, or even common sense. Below I offer a few links showing alternative views:

Morality is relative.  Keep in mind that it was acceptable for Roman men to have sex with young, teen boys.  Slavery used to be morally acceptable.  My point is, only you can decide if smoking weed is morally wrong.  Personally, I think if more people smoked pot, this planet would be a much better place.

Porn is a sin against God (Lusting after a woman is just the same as having sex with her hence the sin of adultery or fornication)  and it also provokes un realistic expectations in the people watching it.  Example if their wife is not like the porn queen then a man is not satisfied with her.  It is also a form of prostitucion, in that women are selling pictures of themselves.  It is degrading to the women in that it isn't important who or what they are, the person just wants to see them naked.  People who do this eventually get to the point that the whole focus of their lives is sex and they are never satisfied with what they have.  It also carries with it the danger of demonic spirits that will ruin your life.  And at the end of your life here on earth you can look forward to eternity without God.  If we were governed by the Bible in our sex lives then AIDS would just disappear on its own.  God means for us to be happy and his rules lead to health and happiness in our lives.

I would support the restrictions on screaming fire, etc. in a crowded theater. Such language does not really communicate any idea, but is only meant to hurt. It is basically an assault with words. It has no place in my ideal government.\nAs far as offending religions i think we should have the right to do that. It may be hurtful, but not all speech is flattering. We should have the right to make offensive cartoons. How people react to such speech is what should be dealt with, but the speech itself is not the problem.\nAlthough questioning tragedies like the holocaust seems insane, its not something we should regulate. Who knows how far it could be taken. It could evolve into not questioning the politics of a particular president. We should always have the right to evaluate history even if we're not very good at it.\nPornographic images are not pleasing to all people, but it mostly boils down to a moral question that is highly subjective. People who enjoy pornography should have every right to enjoy it. We can't make judgment on what type of media is "good" and what is "bad." pornography would be welcome in my ideal government.\nFinally, hate speech. That's a tough one because like shouting out "fire", hate speech only strives to hurt and offend. Does it also mean to communicate? to spread ideas? i'm not sure. I don't really completely understand the intentions of those who make hate speech. I know i disagree with them, but that's not where i stop my analysis. This issue is more ambiguous to me than the others, but still my gut tells me that i would allow it in my own government. I think most of society doesn't really have an open ear to hate speech anyways. If people must make hateful comments they can go ahead and do it. Society will probably ostracize them anyways.

There are a lot of things going on here, I think.\n\nFirst off is the Judeo-Christian belief that sex (especially premarital sex) is somehow evil and corrupting(though this belief is certainly shared with other religions). There are no reasons to believe this other than religious ones. Yet, we, as a culture (Western culture) are so ashamed of sex that we've become ashamed of ourselves and do terrible things to avoid having sexual desires.\n\nSecondly, there's a belief that teaching teenagers about sex will cause them to go crazy and start humping like mad. Of course, they already are, but never mind that. It's kind of the ostrich and the sand syndrome. What people don't realize is that teaching about sex, reinforcing the positive aspects while teaching about safety, is utterly necessary. Abstinence only works on paper. And I also think that abstinence just makes one more loathesome of one's own body and natural physical desires. I mean, if we didn't have physical desires and act on them, how would our species continue?
