I think it's okay if [married couples] watch [pornography] together, and I don't think it's a bad thing when it's accepted by both people. What I was talking about is when the guy (or girl, for that matter) gets an addiction to it or goes behind their partner's back to watch it, and that's when it becomes unhealthy. Sorry, I should have clarified.
Also I'd like to clarify--I personally would never watch porn, and my fiance would not watch it either. I don't believe it is morally right ever, or right in the eyes of God. JMO

I watched porn once, now i find when my girlfriend comes round it isnt enough, i have to sneak into the bathroom and look at pornography. Oh if only i had known Jojo earlier all my problems would be solved.
To be fair, she does have a valid point in the first paragraph. In fact, if she'd never opened her mouth and typed the second paragraph, it would be a completely reasonable and sensible post!
But they just have to keep bringing God into it, don't they?
Amos - Exactly. It OK, but it's never OK.
Does she realize that most of the "actors" in porn aren't married. By watching porn one is encouraging fornication by the "actors. And since they presumably get paid for sex, one would be encouraging prostitution. Oh, the slippery slope... What if a porn actress actually gets pregnant and has an abortion so that she can keep working? Oh, no! What if porn actors use Viagra to have erections even when God doesn't want them to. Egads!
OC and Dr X: I think that the last paragraph is too judgemental to be consistent with the first. She's not saying "it's OK if someone wants to do it, but I would never do it". She says first that it's OK and "not bad" when both in a couple accept it, then makes a 180 degrees turn and says it's not ever morally right or right in the eyes of God. "Not ever morally right" and "not bad when both accept it" seem pretty contradictory to me.
I'm with Alejandro,
The phrase "I don't believe it is morally right ever, or right in the eyes of God." DOES completely contradict everything she said previously.
Either that, or she thinks God is only watching her, which is also funny.
I don't care if people are watching porn, it's their business after all. However, this guy is telling, hey guys, get married. Everything is permited.
Why do all fundies assume that something even in the slightest moderation will automatically lead to a downward spiral into the worst-case scenario?
Because most fundies are, by their very nature, strangers to concepts like moderation and self control.
I actually was kind of with her until the end. It does pretty much suck to be involved with a pr0n addict.
That's not to say everyone who watches is an addict, though, which seems to be her idea.
Let me see if I got this correct...
"I think it's ok if (married couples) watch porn together, etc." So it's ok if married people watch porn.
"I don't believe it is morally right ever" So...it's NOT ok if married people watch porn...?
"or in the eyes of god"
So, you say at first that it's ok for certain people to watch porn. Then you say that it's NOT ok for those same people to watch porn, because both you and god disagree with it? Um...I think you're a bit confused. So you separate what you "think" with what your "morals" are? And your morals are in agreement with god, but what you think isn't? I think that you need to see a doctor and get on some meds.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
