Re: A different thought
It's a special case because degradation is the main theme. In the mainstream movie genre, there are many themes.
There are many movies in which one could find degradation to be the main theme without any other themes existing alongside it. "Theme" is a subjective attribute that can be found in just about any instance of symbolic communication and exists solely in the perceptions of the viewer.

Re: Porn good bad or neutral
There isn't the slightest pornographic image in the Bible. It describes many sexual situations but there is nothing pornographic -- erotically stimulating -- about any of them.
I found many of the sexual situations in the Bible to be erotically stimulating in my youth.

Re: Porn good bad or neutral
Well, if the mere briefly worded information that David lusted after Bathsheba or Amnon seduced Tamar or an earlier Tamar seduced Judah etc etc etc is enough to do it, who needs the elaborate explicit scenarios of porn?
'cause they are also erotically stimulating and being erotically stimulated is as pleasing and valid to me as any other emotional stimulation from an art form can be. (For instance, being scared by a movie)

Re: Porn good bad or neutral
This post is OT. Do not respond
I find my relationship with my wife stimulating enough.
Good for you. So then why did you post the quote from the Bible?
