The January issue of First Things includes a thought-provoking, no, disturbing essay on pornography.
I recommend that you read it. I wish that it wasn't important.
Thanks for reading.
Musings on science, the Bible, and fantastic literature (and sometimes basketball and other stuff).
God speaks to us through the Bible and the findings of science, and we should listen to both types of revelation.
The title is from Psalm 84:11.
The Wikipedia is usually a pretty good reference. I mostly use the World English Bible (WEB), because it is public domain. I am grateful.

Thanks for posting about this, Martin. I saw the article too (I subscribe to First Things).
The author asks how his children will learn about sex. I've asked myself the same question and decided to be very pro-active, even though my kids are "sheltered" (homeschooled). They still see stuff -- for example, the exhibition hall at the Arnold Classic (bodybuilding expo) last weekend where my son had a gymnastics meet. Wow.
Many might be surprised at the way I address the subject with my kids -- frankly and openly, yet sensitively, prudently, and age-appropriately (I hope), but I do so because I (and my husband) want them to learn how to process and understand what they see, and what they will deal with within themselves as they get older. The groundwork must be laid now.
This sounds like the right approach.
Thanks for commenting.
