(Nevo, Jan 23) And the Melchizedek Priesthood may not have been restored until the summer of 1830, several months after the organization of the Church.

Your premise is malarky. I grant you, you are quite the individual, why me, but an entirely predictible and boring one, and I grant Mormonism the entire credit for that.
Raquel Welch, one of the premiere sex symbols of the 1960s, believes American culture has devolved to the point where "we're all sex addicts."
Thank you for the compliment cowpie. That was your name on MAD right? Still throwing cowpies at people. My premise is a good one. And Welch would certainly agree that porn is not good.
I intend to lay a foundation that will revolutionize the whole world. Joseph Smith We are “to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to provide for the widow, to dry up the tear of the orphan, to comfort the afflicted, whether in this church, or in any other, or in no church at all…” Joseph Smith
Raquel is correct about porn and the lack of individualization and imagination involved because of it. And during her time, each had their own individual fantasy and porn played no influence in it. But today, it is quite different when it comes to fantasies. Much are porn centered with no individualization.
And what do we see with exmos who post on the internet? Cows chewing their cud, no individualization and no imagination.

1. We probably all are sex addicts at some level. Billions of years of sexual reproduction does that to animals, including the primates called humans. In many ways, evolution really does come down to a survival of the horniest game.
2. Sometimes society can be a bit too heavy into porn and the whole culture that surrounds it. Don't get me wrong: I like porn as much as the next guy. Still, there is something to be said for porn that has a certain amount of genuine effort behind it, instead of this mass produced crap. That's why I like amateur videos a lot sometimes -- or at least videos where the reactions of the participants aren't faked to such a high degree. It's a huge turnoff when a girl's vocalizations suggest that she's enjoying herself but her eyes suggest that she's not, both in porn and in real life.
Also, there is a lot of sexiness in understatement too. I've seen old pictures of pinup girls -- like Marylin Monroe and Raquel Welch -- that are extremely evocative without being overtly pornographic. Sometimes, a girl wearing a sexy lingerie, an attractive bikini, or even an elegant dress can be just as stimulating as seeing one naked.
3. Just like video games and violent movies, porn gives people a chance to live out their fantasies without (usually) crossing over into the real world. I'm just excited for the days when they have holodecks (Star Trek) where things become even more realistic, if you know what I mean. :D

why me wrote: Married people can have their fantasies. And single people too. A fantasy is not evil. It is natural. However, a fantasy does need to be lustful or pornish. And this is what Raquel is saying.
Can you give an example of a sexual fantasy that is neither lustful nor pornish?
