Mommy Porn?

After hearing alot of buzz from family and friends about the new books Fifty Shades of Grey , I did some looking into what this is all about.


My question is why are these two forms of entertainment aimed for women being  advertised as harmless entertainment?  If a man started bragging at the latest issue of Play Boy we would all be disgusted. Women everywhere are heart broken at the damaging effects of pornography use in marriage, but as women we believe a lie that for us it is harmless. Why such the strong double standard? I know for one if my husband insisted on going on a guys night out to watch a sensual movie, my thoughts of not being enough would flood over me.
Where are the Godly men, I want to see them stand up and say no to these things not turn a blind eye to their wives walking straight into a dangerous open door.
According to Jesus, fantasizing in your mind about someone other than your spouse or indulging in even literary sexual voyeurism is sin. Because sin is ultimately a heart issue, we can’t ingest titillating images or stories about the sex lives of other people without participating (at least in our minds) in their sin. 
 This includes magazines, books, websites, movies, television, or whatever “provision for the flesh” we dream up (Romans 13:4). A woman reading erotic fiction is sinning in the same way a man is when he views pornography.

 I don't know enough about these two things to write much more than this, but after the 4th phone call of someone calling to tell me about it my alarm bells were ringing.

This is the way of an adulterous woman: She eats and wipes her mouth, and says, “I have done no wickedness.” (Proverbs 30:20)
