Is watching porno a sin?

I dont know but it is wrong to watch porno,right?
(cause you hide it if someone passesby and you feel shy if your dad catch you watchn some)
But if you watch a film with like people doing it but it doesnt show their private parts than it's not porno,right?
So if watching porno is a wrong thing to do,then is it a sin(I mean in god's eyes)?

Lustful Behavior and activitys is considered sinful or wrong in a several religions it is also found to be Morally wrong in Some Countrys. . Porn would fall under Lustful activities So Yes God does consider it a sin. . . You will find in the new testament that to lust after someone or to act in a way that causes someone to lust it is a sin. . Clothing or not, So Guard your thoughts.

dear daisukei,
well it all depends, if you are in a relashionship it is because even though youre not doing something it is still considered adultry because you are getting plesure from another man/women indstead of your own wife/husband or boyfriend/girlfriend but it is not a sin if you are not in a relashionship with someone

I personally dont think watching porno is a sin or a bad thing. its perfectly normal. but under god's eyes, you shouldnt 'do it' until you are married...so yea

Yes watching porn is a 'sin'. Especially to Roman Catholics (it is a sin for them to even mas*urba*e!). But this does not mean it is wrong or weird.
Watching a film which has sex in it is not porn unless you decide to use it in that way but even then it probably wouldn't technically be porn.
Hope this helped x

Nope I don't think so at all

Who are you hurting by watching it? If no-one, then there's nothing wrong with it.

The ascetic religions will tell you it's wrong, but they base their concerns on nothing of substance.

...just because some ancient book written by superstitious male dominated societies says so!?

just looking at a girl/woman lustfully is committing adultry and yes pornification is a sin.Whoever 's christian and thinks it's not needs to get out their bible and STUDY!!You can't say your your own kind of christian and make up your own rules people.God is christian LAW!!!

tinkpixi18 - 'God is christian LAW!!!'

are you saying that god is only for the christians?

Depends on your religion. The fact that you're asking suggests you're a Roman Catholic or a Baptist.

I'm a British Methodist (presbyterian), and while lust is definitely a bit on the inappropriate side, we would say that fear comes from the Devil. God is all about love and forgiveness. Some anglicans, episcopalians, methodists, etc. argue that the nature of sexual sins has changed since biblical times, because we now live in a society where the Disadvantaged are cared for. You no longer see orphans and widows and the disabled begging on the streets. In Biblical times, sex had to be resticted to married people, because that was the support infrastructure.

Hmm, a complex argument, and I'm not doing it justice.

No, I don't think watching porno is a sin, unless the actors have been forced to do it. Home-made videos are fine, because you can be really sure the actors are amateurs and working for the fun of it. They want you to watch.

Naw man watching isn't a sin it's'not like your doing anything with those ladies, or if your into men, guys.

It's not a sin. It's perfectly natural to be curious about and want to enjoy sex. Don't let the religious fanatics tell you it's a terrible thing. Everyone has different opinions about the topic. If you enjoy watching porn, then continue to do so. If you're very religious and you're feeling guilty of watching 'sinful acts' then go to church to confession. God is forgiving right?

To answer your question, watching porn is a sin and, you need to repent.
You know, heavenly Father gives you the opportunity to repent. So, if you attend church, talk to your Pastor, or if you're Catholic, go to confession. I'm not Catholic or anything, but, I heard that you set up an apointment with the Preast to confess.
In my church, I go directly to my Branch President which my church is called the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Soon as you repent, you'll feel allot better.
And, once you repent, the Lord will forgive you and he'll forget all about the sin.
So, yes, pornography is a sin.

You might want to talk to Shelly Luben.. ex porn queen... she can give you some inside info. on this.

Also, you might want to google, and see how families and wives in particular, are coping, with men that are addicted to this.

And to see the heartache, of a young wife, whose husband can't make love to her, without turning on his favorite porn movie... first.

She how she feels...

watch her tears, as her marriage disinigrates...

see the children, that fall into the cracks... because one or both parents are hooked... on this or anything else that poisons the mind, and takes captives.

Jesus taught us to take every thought captive.

In other words, that we were to be in charge of our minds, and our thoughts, that they were not to lust... or think impure thoughts.

It is not possible to do both.

We are either captive, and we are lusting... or we have a pure mind.

And please tell me, what do you think is causing all the young children to be raped ???

Demons of lust and perversion, and nothing more.

Controlling men and womens minds and actions.

I gurantee you that you will not find one child predator, that did not first start with pornography.

It is a blight on this nation.

It is taking victims at unprecedented rates.

Many of the pulpits of this country are affected, Satan is using this one tool, to destroy multitudes. And what is worse, nobody seems to even care.

They flog the person that is caught, while secretly believing that this is right, except for him/her.
