Deu 5:6 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
Deu 5:7 Thou shalt have none other gods before me.
Deu 5:8 Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:
Deu 5:9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,

The debate began with the science oh how porn negatively effects the brain. Many have felt the destructiveness to the soul, as well relationships and families, it's evil through and through, and porn sets itself as slave master to all those who idolize it. Its no trivial matter.
The fact is free speech is limited if it causes harm. Porn is without question destructive to all.

"To put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness." Ephesians 4:22-24
He gives us himself to do this.

We all looked to the world to satify our souls before we turned to Him. Some are still chasing empty promises.

"But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Matthew 5:28
Like the OP article said, something happens in the brain = addiction

In context, this is speaking of someone else's wife. Or do you think it sinful to look at your own wife with lustful intent?

In context, this is speaking of someone else's wife (which brings us back to adultery). Or do you think it sinful to look at your own wife with lustful intent?

In context, lust is not the same as love. Women need to be loved, not lusted after.

If you are not looking at your wife with lustful intent several times a day, I would expect your wife to be very insulted and start looking for that very thing from other men.

You are supposed to love everyone - even your enemies. However, you are supposed to procreate with your wife.
That is brotherly love, to love a fellow human being.
And then there is erotic love. For example:
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth, for your love is better than wine. (Song of Songs 1:2)
