When I was a Christian I thought that was an unreasonable one. Why create me to be attracted to women in the first place? Setting us up to fail just like Adam and Eve.
All tests are unreasonable if you're not willing to take them, or if you already think you don't have the strength to pass.
sex, the pleasure, the right look, the foreplay -- is a huge award, participating in creation. but the secret is, to keep it that way. as a semi sacret act, not entertainment.

So it is not sex you are criticizing, but porn.

I so want Bridal Inspector to be a real job!
porn is a perversion of the great pleasure in sex
sorry of the bad translation, I was referring to the custom in some places some time ago of going on a "brautschau", a viewing of prospective brides, their families, wealth in neighboring villages.

Porn is watching people have sex which can be stimulating, What's wrong with that?

I don't get stimulated watching others at sex. I actually find it very boring.
Given what was said in the sermon on the mountain, there is everything wrong with that. for one thing once you are thusly stimulated, then what? frustration? mstrbtn?
We are discussing SIN here. a religious concept of wrong doing. Even in strictly seculat societies, any wrongdoing, deviation from the sound norm is disruptive,
show me a deviation from the sound norm aka sin, , and I will a how you a troubled situation. sometimes lasting generations.

I will end here with a quote.
"The word of Sin is restriction. O man, refuse not thy wife if she will.O lover if though will depart There is no bond that can unite the divided but love. All else is a curse."

Not at Caerbannog...
I reject the idea of sin. My primary set of gods are very much about pleasure, joy, and fertility.
An ethical hedonism is about moderation, to prolong pleasure and not hurt oneself in the process. But we reject the notion of pleasure bringing privation from The Good.

Good grief, do we really need to explain this stuff to you? Google "orgasm and oxytocin release." And it's spelled MASTURBATION. I don't think the Sermon on the Mount says anything about masturbating or orgasms.
There are religions where there are entire disciplines and literature devoted to having really good sex and orgasms. Tantra, for example. These use being "thusly stimulated" to enhance spiritual connection and be closer to God or some ultimate state of being. Maybe worth looking into, if your religion keeps you ashamed and frustrated all the time. There's more than one path up the mountain, and you're not obligated to take the first one your family showed you.
yeah, some use the carrot, the other the stick method. How about the promise of a sinless new world to come? only good sex? No wars like the Trojan variety?
