Men should aim to be like Jesus, and women should aim to be like Mary.
We don't have two teachers.
Jesus is the Teacher. He says to follow HIm.
Mary did not teach anything, Jesus did.
Men should aim to be like Jesus, and women should aim to be like Mary.
Yes, both examples there are sinful, human nature. A wife who withholds sexual favours and a husband who turns to porn as a solution. Why does a wife do that? What other issues in the marriage could make her feel the need to do so? A whole can of worms that opens up for sure.
I posted earlier...
The quickest way to get
your husband into pornography
is to use sex as a manipulation
strategy in your marriage.
Many women do it, and the
strategy always backfires.
If you don't take care of
business, your husband will
look elsewhere. It is human
nature.

It's almost a predictable thing among many marriages that a woman will demand commitment, get what she wants, lose interest in sex, and eventually leave.
Many men has this problem and you blame women for it?
People have sexual urges, and one of the things about marriage being so important to the human race is so those urges are contained between husband and wife.

So you advocate sinning because of this urge.
Self control is one the spirit we must learn to posses.

It's a self evident truth, and when sex is withheld, the relationship can become disturbed rather quickly. What real difference is it if a man masturbates in the shower or looks at porn? The women becomes jealous with one and not the other? All of a sudden she's the victim..
If his wife is not letting him release his urges for weeks, even months on end, then she is affronting the holy rite of marriage; destroying it, causing the problem.
Because of course lack of commitment can never have anything to do with that, somehow whatever sin some men commit, its a womans fault.
Funny thing though, Jesus said if you look at another woman with lust you have committed adultery in your heart. I dont see Him blaming your wives.

Isn't it interesting how it is two of the men on this thread who are justifying adultery ?
You're catholic, sex for you is suppose to be only for procreation. So you are mad that your wife acted like the perpetual virgin that you keep claiming women should be like?
LOL
Well, we are able to have control over our sexual desires. I mean, take the RC priests for example. :chuckle:
The question of masturbating vs porn....I think that is a legit question. Are we allowed to pose that on this board? I am going to try, to get that into another thread and see if it is ok. I think it is a valid question and would like to see what people think.
I'm pretty sure the subject isn't a problem so long as it stays in the bounds of maturity and reason.
~going by other things I've seen discussed~
There is no philosophical difference between the two- pornography simply makes it easier I suppose to visualize and imagine.
But one is doing the same thing in mere masturbation- imagining and visualizing.
This means that either is adultery in the heart.
In all honesty, I believe the teaching is relative only to the mind of a person. I don't think it's actually explicit adultery of the marriage; it's rather a mortal sin to the individual- his or her own adultery in some odd way.
I say this because in all reality, I can't imagine there are much of any marriages period where neither the husband or wife at some point in their life have not, in some brash and rapid thought of the mind, imagined another man or women naked or some such thing.
I'm sure most people will deny it, especially to their spouse, but I just know that taking the verse out of context is far reaching.

The Church also teaches that wives should be baby cannons, so what you state is basically pointless.
Wow, I'd make a lousy Catholic.
