Continuing on Pornography...

Greetings to everyone who believes in love, especially to all those holding on to love even though it looks like there is nothing left worth holding onto. May your heart stay strong and may your refusal to give up on life yield great fruit for you. And to all those who for some reason (explainable or not) have stopped believing in love, may something happen in your life from today, that will change that impression.

I'd like to thank everyone who has visited 360degreeslove in the last one month. This blog was actually long overdue, but I kept dragging my feet about it; primarily because much as I believe that there are certain absolutes which cut across every relationship, I know for a fact that there are many other situations which require that a relationship be looked at from the perspective of its peculiarity. I really do not believe in "7 keys to a wonderful relationships" and stuff like that...

So here I was struggling with this blog, and I dared a few of my friends with a challenge - if in one month I get at least 1,950 page views, I will become dedicated to this project. I lost the challenge: I had 3000 views, over 120 emails making one request or the other in their relationships. They won, I lost, and I submit to the exciting vision of sharing whatever I have received in the area of relationships and love.

Continuing on pornography...

How complete, exciting or rewarding is sex that is inspired by an image you could not or did not create? How sacred is sex when your image or effort did not inspire it? How unforgettable are images that enslave you to a pattern of dependency and kill your creativity? Sex is not a game, and your spouse is not a toy that helps you jerk off when certain images come into your head. Besides, what do you do when your spouse is not there? 

Sex is sacred. It was created by God. It is good and we are gifted with the anointing, the creativity and innovation to make every romantic moment both satisfying and unforgettable. When folk depend on something else (whether as a last resort or not) to inspire the response or activity you ordinarily should engage in, this is the beginning of dependency on wrong patterns, in this sense, because you will come to a point where you will never believe in yourself or your spouse to get you in the mood or create the atmosphere that makes sex worth yearning for. This lack of confidence and the desire to keep things alive will bring about an addiction ultimately.

Besides, how decent are pornographic story-lines? How can perversion give birth to a wholesome, godly sex life? I leave you to judge for yourself, but like a new friend I made would say, "IMO (In My Opinion)" you do not need pornography to achieve spice in your relationship, 'cause the power to make good and fulfilling sex happen is in you.
Special dedication to Great 9ja Man.

Blessings and more
