6. Can pornography be an innocent way to heighten married sexual pleasure or provide sexual release for a young person not ready for marriage?

Pornography is a powerful, addictive instrument in debasing manhood and womanhood to a mere sex object. Because sexual self-gratification becomes the main goal of sexual activity in pornography, sexuality becomes a matter of fantasy rather than mutual connection based on emotional, spiritual, and physical communication and intimacy.JTL19 8.1

Christians will not only reject all forms of pornography, but they will also act and speak decisively against its use, while pointing to Jesus as the power that enables us to gain victory over all inherited and cultivated sinful temptations.JTL19 8.2
