Pornography and Disability
Paul says we will judge angels in the world to come and also not to take church matters to civil court. How do we judge someone who is physically disabled and unable to engage in physical intimacy? Is pornagraphy acceptable for a physically disabled person? I personally would not condemn such a person.

Hey, maybe DM has a legit question. You never know who else does.
This is an overflow from yesterday's "Sex Thread." Perhaps the subject of pornography or masturbation has caused questions to surface. I would not want to laugh at what may be very sincere from another man. So... let's talk about it.

Re: Pornagraphy and Disability
Well, let's think this through. What is harmful with pornography in the first place? For the man who is married or unmarried (though not disabled)? Does it violate anything that God has provided for us to live full lives?
What about giving ourselves over to lust? Fantasized sex with other people?
I'm going to get in here and ask the questions with you.... if what makes pornography sinful (something to be avoided or otherwise "not expedient" to the believer's list) and that reason has nothing to do with disability versus ability, then why would that change?

Re: Pornagraphy and Disability
I wouldn't condemn a person for pornography at all. Whether it's acceptable or not is a different question entirely.

Right. And acceptable to whom? Socially acceptable? Or acceptable to God's plan for us? And remove pornography and put any sin and I would not condemn either. Good call
