Flourishing in Our Faith: One Bible Verse at a Time-NUDITY, PORN & STRESS #13

In a time of high stress and tension, what about porn?

Obviously there are no Bible verses on pornography although there are implicit references to nudity throughout scripture if you know where to look. It is interesting to wonder if it is possible that the Bible is not as hung up about the sexual body as we are? This video primarily focuses on our tension or shame about nudity or self-pleasure could prevent us from considering a possible use of porn during times of high stress and tension. Pornography is a big topic for shame-based and fear-based religions so stay tuned for additional videos on the subject.

There are several meditations about pornography in my new book, Who Told You That You Were Naked? Meditations on the Sexual Body (Pilgrim Press, 2024). These ideas come from one of the meditations titled Porn: Helpful or Harmful. Every meditation also includes personal exercises to help you discern your sexual ethics and to enhance healing from any religiously-based sexual guilt, body shame, or fear of judgment.
