Like bored 12-year-olds, we were googling "sex" when we came across Sex in Christ, a site which promotes sexuality in accordance with God's will. With headlines like "Anal Sex According to the Word of God" and "Threesomes Within a Christian Marriage," we're not sure if the site is a joke or a way for horny fundamentalists to justify getting kinky.
Still, we were intrigued by their "Proposal for Christian Pornography." Sure, Christianity and pornography are two great tastes, but do they taste great together? Read the excerpt below and decide.
It must portray sex within the context of a Christian marriage. It must be apparent through the actions, behaviors, and speech of the characters portrayed that they are Christian, lead a Christian lifestyle, and have a marriage in which their faith is central.
It must be instructional. In their onscreen roles, the actors should model both correct sexual techniques and appropriate sexual attitudes, by being respectful and treating one another's bodies as the sacred gift from God that they are.
No profanity. Although exclamations of pleasure are acceptable, as are the natural sounds and vocalizations of lovemaking, Christian porn should contain no profanity or swearing.
No extramarital sex, unless it is to illustrate the downfalls of adultery. The spouses in a Christian porn production must never have adulterous relations, unless they (and their partner in extramarital crime) suffer and are punished fittingly for their sins.
It must be uplifting and inspirational, focusing on strengthening Christian marriage and Christian faith. Christian porn must have an overall positive message. Of course, its primary message would be to demonstrate the sacred use of sexuality and sensuality to reinforce the bonds of Christian marriage. But in all other respects, it should affirm Christian values of community, family, faith, honesty, charity, and so forth.
I like to consider myself a Christian, though admittedly not always a very good one; :redface: and I like porn. Yet somehow, I have never felt the need to mix the two, in order to justify one. Like many things associated with Christianity I think they have messed up the basic goodness of porn by adding too many darn rules.
What's your take on Christian Porn LPSG?
