What's Really Wrong With Pornography?

I’ve never heard it described this way before.... but what you have said makes so much sense. Thank you for your wisdom

[@oliveinsat566]

This is the deepest explanation I've ever heard on this subject! Amazing!

[@coldpepper3175]

Thank you, Manis!!! I've always struggled with pornography, and when you said it's because when a man is afraid to deal with real people, he resorts to porn, I was able to relate. I, unfortunately, don't do well with people. But I am improving myself.

[@heavenisonearth]

You don't need to improve, you are wonderful the way you are! You made a big step already by noticing the delusion, becoming aware of it. Will you be able to just see it again for what is if it arises without judgement, if so the answers will reveal. Blessings to you & to the amazing speaker 🙏

EVERYTHING ABOUT PORNOGRAPHY IS WRONG. SINCE THE 50'S AND 60'S PHYSCOLOGIST HAVE RECOMMENDED PORNOGRAPHY AND SAY ITS OK......NOW WE HAVE THEIR CREATED FINANCIAL EMPIRE & ADDICTION FOR THEM TO TREAT.

[@InnerIntegration]

Wow that is very insightful. “The eye is capable of seeing things but not seeing people... there’s no one else involved. Just the things you’re seeing.” Pornography has created a serious sickness in the men who watch it, disturbing how they approach women and sex. This is particularly true of the younger generations who got their sexual education and programming through porn. I’m not sure if it’s reversible at this point.

Something that is not widely spoken about, but should be: pornography eventually causes inability to have have real sexual relations. I tried to post something about this on a social media platform recently and I cannot tell you how quickly it was taken down.

[@SaintCharbelMiracleworker]

Pornography is dehumanizing not only to those involved in the act, filming it, selling it, showing it and watching it. Not all of the participants are consenting adults either but nobody wants to talk about that.

[@CoIdestMoments]

YO KZbin algorithm is doing its magic. I'm not even jewish and ended up here somehow, I suffer a massive porn addiction and this TEDtalk was pretty interesting. I'm not into the "provider to feel like a man" mindset but the objectifying/dehumanizing/emasculative parts of pornography I can only agree on. Peace

[@foolfether]

The "telos" of providing is not "feeling like a man". The masculine provides for the feminine because that's the way things are: a question needs an answer, destruction needs repairing, a plan needs to be put in action, etc. The "feeling good as a man" comes after completion without confusion, not as the purpose but as the satisfaction of the feminine.

[@Lgalitz]

Not into providing to feel like a man. You're not a man then. Someday when you reach manhood you'll understand what you were created for. Thank heavens my daughter won't have to support you. Whew ! :)

Soloman had 700 wives an 300+ concubines. Objectification was going on a long time before TV. Feel like it's more about concoring than anything else. Some have to conconcor businesses, some Cities, some countries. Some have to concor women's hearts. It's more about seeking adoration. Been the object these lady's want. Vanity and ego. Saying men are givers reduces us to slaves. Men kept on low wages can't give and provide. This emasculates men more than porn I would say. Problem with porn is that you can get a physical reward/payoff without applying yourself an doing any work to earn it. When men realise they can have infinite pleasure without earning it. They are robbed of motivation. Problem with porn and casual sex culture is you can be consumed by hedonistic tenancies and forget to contribute.

[@eliphaslevizahed5820]

Thank you Rabbi🌺

[@YoungMommy14]

Yeah. I'm generally in agreement. I watch every once in a while. Not much, though. I have a relatively low libido. I HAVE seen various studies that suggest that Men who watch frequently develop difficulties in becoming aroused. Much of them have to resort to Viagra, and often that doesn't even work. Mind you, were talking about 'frequent watchers' here. I'm quite Liberal in ideology. I boeve people should be able to do what they want so long as their not hurting anyone. That being said, I do believe that for most people, The Industry 'promises alot, but it cannot deliver'. These days, it's very common to hear people espouce the notion that Pornography is very 'empowering for women'. I surmise that it COULD BE for some, but I believe that The Industry causes the girls more harm than good. I know a girl who works in The Industry. Prior to her working in The Industry she had some rather serious issues. Anorexia and Depression primarily. I don't know her very well, but I don't think her profession is 'helping'. If something 'Big' happens, she'll enjoy the temporary Dopamine Rush, but that only lasts so long, and then she's invariably 'back to (excuse my language) feeling like shit'. I think she's become addicted to the 'Attention', though. I know better than most, that when you're constantly 'chasing a hit of Dopamine or Seratonin, etc. by any means whether it be through 'Praise', 'Drugs', 'Gambling'... whatever. You will never be Truly Content. All the best! Shalom!

Thank you so much Rabbi. If a non Jew is interested in learning about Judaism what books would you recommend him to read. At least recommend three books. If any one wants to respond to this question please feel free to do so.

[@unibrowsheepZ]

I recently read "The Lost Art of Scripture" by Karen Armstrong. Its not 100% about judaism (it goes into the history of Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, and islam as well as Judaism) but it does go into the history of the torah and how it was created, as well as how the jews and pre-reformation christians would have viewed god. Its a good read if your interested in the history of various religions, and it really opened my mind to new ways of thinking about god and the bible. Its kinda thicc tho, so it might take a while to get through if you tend to be a slow reader like me.

Don’t look. It is wrong and has done some serious damage to family. It has distorted the perception men have of women and what women perceive men want. Yes it is the terrible emasculator.

[@timothya.olmeda7299]

Your allowed to look. What matters is, what was the outcome? You cannot deny something that is there, or hide from it, because you are already aware that the visual is present and what entices you. Virtue is only possible when sin is alluring. Evil exists so that we may change our ways. You recognize beauty, and God made each of us the way that we are physically. God permits man to become enraptured with false religions for the same reason He permits a married man to be attracted to women other than his wife. Freewill is within your grasp. Again, virtue is only possible when sin is alluring. Therefore, God instructs is to choose wisely. Shalom

Instructed by "Our Father" to place this message on your platform. You've been following the progression with varying degrees of skepticism for quite a while now, but you're listening. The last "Proper Message" is as follows: The Father in Heaven is not a duality. He's tired. His son is a fine man who will take office in the "instant" of spiritual transfer. Those to whom he has been speaking are sad that they can never be in his actual physical presence, but he has just, this minute, explained why. You know why because it is scripturally available for your scholarship. His "Natural" son's wife was drawn from the Divine Family by the Phenomenal Being ~ she has no mother. She did not come from the womb of a mother. She has a father ~ Our Father in Heaven. Please explain where the emasculation lies in this truth.

I am so glad I stayed away from porn my whole life. I feel and always felt repelled. I saw some ads pop up here and there, that s enough to understand where it goes.

Women have their part to play. I went on a 6 month period of fasting and prayer to remove all desire for any woman's image other than my wife because ive always been drawn to monogamy...however, she agress im the only one she knows with such a strong desire for monogamy in all things, places, and times, without exception. So she still lusts for Aquaman and Skarsgarrd or whoever while ive only got eyes for her now. It goes both ways lady. When you ladies get honest with all the men that you are attracted to we men will be more likely to do the things that will cause us to only have eyes for you. From now on intimacy comes directly from God and is used to blow my wife's mind in the bedroom- but as for me even tho ive got a sex drive stronger than most young men i wish sex was never invented. God brings us together every time i feel this way and its amazing anyway even though I absolutely hate what the invention of sex has done to relationships- i just wish women were more responsible for pair bonding- you all act like its only the men whos eyes go astray- and we men KNOW you have fantasies outside of your husband. Time to go talk to all the wives you know about this one husband on the internet who is mastering having an eye for his wife only and would master it completely if she could fully do the same for me.
