Lust is Greed; Porn is Greed.

Great lines from Ed Welch:

Sexual "looking", whether we are looking at a real person, a digital one, or an imaginary one, is about greed.

What I “see” is what I want to possess. Porn is not about our vision. It is about our hearts. I am saying, I WANT THAT AS MY OWN, which is exactly what the picture promises. The person in the photograph wants to belong to you and you alone. Sexual "looking", whether we are looking at a real person, a digital one, or an imaginary one, is about greed. I want to accumulate for my own kingdom.

Amen & amen. Ephesians 5:1-5 confirms this.
