I think we tend to believe that if we desire something or feel the urge to engage in it, that it somehow makes it okay to indulge in.
This might be drugs for some people, drinking a few glasses of wine for another, engaging in masturbation, or viewing a few porn films. It might be visiting a strip club and getting a lap dance, sleeping with a prostitute, giving in to the temptation of having "friends with benefits", or perusing the beach to get a free show of barely dressed men and women. It might be viewing clothing web sites (where yes, some of the photos are quite racy) or watching the latest reality show on MTV or VH1 where perversity is sure to ensue. It might even be watching documentaries about porn stars from previous years whose journey consisted of bad choices and whose life ultimately culminated in suicide because you find these sort of stories to be interesting. It could be reading romance novels or reading Fifty Shades of Grey because you are curious what porn in the form of writing is like or looking forward to seeing the movie with the same title when it is in theatres because so many people are looking forward to it and it is a topic of discussion amongst some of the people you know.
Some people believe they can engage in masturbation and view porn at this point in their life because they assume it will help pacify their sexual cravings until they are married and can actually sleep with their spouse (as God calls believers who are unmarried to abstain from sexual immorality - First Thessalonians 4: 3). They believe their obsession with porn will somehow go away once they say, "I do" at the wedding altar and this monstrous sin will never beckon them to return to it again simply because now they can have sex and this should satisfy them. Your spouse, with all their natural flaws and insecurities cannot compete with airbrushed perfection on film where climax is always achieved, you are easily aroused, and having an orgasm is almost guaranteed. FightTheNewDrug on Twitter has written, "Internet porn is superstimulous. Endless novelty, hunting, seeking, pleasure, shock, arousal, etc. The furthest thing from real love and sex." & "Like gambling, porn gets you hooked on an elusive, unattainable fantasy."
