By far, the most searched for terms on the internet are related to pornography. Pornography is rampant in the world today. Perhaps more than anything else, Satan has succeeded in twisting and perverting sex. He has taken what is good and right (loving sex between a husband and wife) and replaced it with lust, pornography, adultery, rape, and homosexuality. Pornography is simply the first step on a very slippery slope of ever-increasing wickedness and immorality (Romans 6:19). Just as a drug user is led to consume greater and more powerful quantities of drugs, so pornography drags a person into hard-core sexual addictions and ungodly desires.
The three main categories of sin are: the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life (1 John 2:16). Pornography definitely causes us to lust after flesh, and it undeniably is a lust for our eyes. Pornography definitely does not qualify as one of the things we are to think about, “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things” (Philippians 4:8). Pornography is addictive (1 Corinthians 6:12; 2 Peter 2:19), destructive (Proverbs 6:25-28; Ezekiel 20:30; Ephesians 4:19), and leads to ever-increasing wickedness (Romans 6:19). Lusting after other people in our minds (the essence of pornography) is offensive to God (Matthew 5:28). When habitual devotion to pornography characterizes a person’s being, that demonstrates the person is not saved (1 Corinthians 6:9).
If there was one thing I could change about my life prior to becoming a Christian, it would be my involvement with pornography. Thanks be to God - He can and will give the victory. Are you involved with pornography and desire freedom from it? Here are some steps to victory: (1) Confess your sin to God (1 John 1:9). (2) Pray for God to cleanse, renew, and transform your mind (Romans 12:2). (3) Ask God to fill your mind with Philippians 4:8. (4) Learn to possess your body in holiness (1 Thessalonians 4:3-4). (5) Understand the proper meaning of sex and rely on your spouse to meet that need alone (1 Corinthians 7:1-5). (6) Realize that if you walk in the Spirit, you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh (Galatians 5:16). (7) Take practical steps to reduce your exposure to graphic images (i.e. install pornography blockers on your computer, limit television and video usage, find another Christian who will pray for you and help keep you accountable—your spouse, if you are married).

Pornography can be the first step on a very slippery slope of ever-increasing wickedness and immorality (Romans 6:19). The addictive nature of pornography is well documented. Just as a drug user must consume greater and more powerful quantities of drugs to achieve the same “high,” pornography drags a person deeper and deeper into hard-core sexual addictions and ungodly desires.
Yes, the Bible says to flee from fornication. The Greek word translated 'fornication' is 'pornea', and denotes any sexual act existing outside of marriage, including acts of a sexual nature that are not technically intercourse. If you are to flee from such things, would you watch them for fun? Interestingly, the word 'pornea' is the root word in pornography.
Pornography is wrong. It hurts people. It will damage you, deep inside. Look at the men who become purveyors of that seedy underworld. Not very nice people. Get sunk into perversions, and can't even get correct wonderful normal sex anymore.
read some of these sites and think about it , okay?
According to Islam, pornography is one of the doors to adultery and thus spreading various diseases like AIDS and others and thus ruining the whole society.
I condemn pornography, and that's good enough. I don't need or want God involved on this issue because he's always been capricious and misogynistic and I'm afraid he might change his mind and endorse it.

Did you mean command or condemn pornography?
Either way I do not know and no one else does either.

Read this article along with your personal bible to get your answer. Hope this is helpful.
Ignore the ones that only look for opportunities to make fun of a type-o.
I condemn pornography, and that's good enough. I don't need or want God involved on this issue because he's always been capricious and misogynistic and I'm afraid he might change his mind and endorse it.
Yes. If you look lustfully at a woman you have already committed adultery. Why wouldn't porn women be included in that?
I don't believe that God condemns. He watches. She observes.
Condemnation is a human trait.
