They will never know the true pleasure ... that which is found in another outside of self!

True.

It is just another popular activity that our world grasps that is from Satan.

Yes it is very sad...God wants us to love each other and it is never loving to objectify another human being in any way ,shape or form.The enemy comes to steal ,kill and destroy and this is just one more thing he uses.

It is a bold way to destroy life's by Satan . To put this into young People hands so there mind is warp and darkened.  This also takes them further away from God. Thay become seekers of pleasures instead of seekers of God.

I get the feeling that most men feel like porn is just another bad habit and not a serious sin. Is this true?

Porn is not a bad habit.  It is fornication.   Both words, pornography and fornication come from the same word in Greek.   It is still sexual immorality.   Pornography is, arguably, more damaging to marriages than drugs and alcohol. It really is the kiss of death to marriage.  If a married man is watching porn, he is committing adultery. If an unmarried man is watching porn, he is committing sexual immorality or fornication.

Pornography makes up roughly 15% of the Internet, but reportedly gets something like 70 -80% of the Internet traffic.   Porn is as old as time.  They have uncovered a pretty substantial portion of the city of ancient Pompeii and it was painted on the walls and there was all kinds of pornographic sculptures in public.  You could not walk down the street without seeing it.  Pompeii was a grossly over-sexed community and we are, evidently, headed in that direction as a nation.

Despite what liberals say, I personally do not believe that pornography is protected by the 1st Amendment of the US Constitution.  I don't see that it qualifies as "speech."  Porn falls into the category of conduct and conduct can be regulated.

Did you read the article that was with the OP?  Porn is as destructive as stated above.

Oh I believe all of that is very true. But my husband shrugs it off like it was a bad idea. And I stated that it was biblically adultery. He didn't want to agree on that. So I get the idea that men don't think, that when they watch porn, that they are really doing anything "that" bad. Which says to me, what I find important about marriage (relationship) is not really that important to a man. And through my research, from secular to religious, I have found that a mans number one reason to get married is sex. Which really angered me. Not that sex is wrong. Sex is fine. But that sex should never be the foundation of a marriage. If it is than that marriage is very shallow, because sex, just like beauty, is fading. Leaving my number one question: why do men get married in the first place? I got married because I wanted to love and care for, what at that time, was my best friend . Have children, build a home with my man, dream together about our future, and just plain grow old together. But through my research the number one thing a man would change about their marriage was more sex. Never once was what really matters( what you take with you when you die) ever mentioned. This gave me a whole new perspective on men, and I'm sorely disappointed. I would have rather stayed single then get caught up in this mess if I would have known then what I know now. What an empty existence men must live.
