I'm just going to address the title question. "Is porn good for Christians?"
Jesus set the bar on good pretty high when He repelled the title 'good' in Mark 10 18.
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good?
there is none good but one,
that is, God.
I bring up that point because 'good' is not a word to be thrown around lightly.
2 Peter 3
10But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar, the elements will be dissolved in the fire, and the earth and its works will not be found.
11Since everything will be dissolved in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to conduct yourselves in
holiness and
godliness
Holiness is the act of keeping oneself pure by not sinning, and refusing to touch anything that has been touched by sin. Holiness is the principal issue behind not eating meat if you find that it has been offered to an idol.
Godliness is the lifestyle of good works, worship, and abstinence from sin motivated by the fear (phobos) of the Lord.
These things are the correct manner to conduct yourself for coming face to face with God.
Therefore I would say that Holiness and Godliness are "Good for a Christian". I'm going to make a narrow-eyed understatement and say I do not believe that porn rises to the level of good. Highly recommend a word study on the word good (agathos G18) for some background on what the bible says actually is good and see where pornography might fit.
Further more if looking at a married woman with desire is adultery, then wanking it to porn of a woman whom is married is adultery and by definition is not good.
But James T. Christian is willing to go to the next level and do some research because he is very
legalistic Motivated.
And he is able to determine that the young lady whose frantic copulation he is about to witness is nothing more than the perfect definition of a harlot for whom Christ died.
and therefore more or less fair game, under the law of Moses.
I would like to tell James (whose spank session has already been delayed) that harlotry is DISTASTEFUL to God, and he regards the wages of a harlot to be as defiled as the price of the sale of a dog, and He refuses to allow even the money from such things to be brought into the temple. (Deut 23:18).
Harlotry is not 'good' for Christians. But James, who by this time has ants in his pants, would like to point out that he is not hiring a prostitute himself... because that would be joining Christ to a harlot and that just won't do...( 1 Cor 6:15) he is merely watching and wanking.
I'll direct him back to the adulterers who were only watching and desiring, and still called adulterers by Christ. If a man does it in his thoughts and desires, it is done in his heart.
It is not good for christians.
But really, James already knew that. James doesn't care about that. Not right now. He'll worry about that sometime when he's fussing with the tissue paper or something. Right now James just wants to know if he can get away with it. But I'm really not here to help James feel comfortable with the how this sin compares relative to other sins, I'm here to address whether or not porn is GOOD for CHRISTIANS.
So I wanted to know what the author of that article might think of as 'good porn' and he had already obliged with this article.

If you don't want to read the article in it's entirety allow me to bring forward a quote of what this guy thinks is a good thing.
"In the same way we as Christians should support the production of pornographic movies that adhere to a Christian worldview of sex.
That means movies that use only married actors to perform sex scenes.
It also means that these movies do not have types of sexual activities that violate God’s law such as homosexual acts and orgies.
From an amateur perspective, we should encourage Christian married couples to produce nude images and images of sex acts that are within the bounds of God’s law."
hah. This guy. This wolf in sheep's clothing. This cloud without rain. Do you understand that it doesn't matter how many good things this guy has to say about patriarchy or biblical gender roles? In it is the poison pill. "We should ONLY look at and desire OTHER MEN'S WIVES." Oh and if the missus is game, you should film her for other people's 'edification'.
Do you understand that Balak only had to send in the harlots to turn God against Israel? Do you think God would turn a blind eye to these preceedings? I assure you He would not.
So much for that guy. His definition of good porn revolves strictly around 'other men's wives'. I suppose i should pose the question: What's your definition of good porn? Although I can honestly say I'm not optimistic about the results of that question.
Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatever is
true, whatever is
honorable, whatever is
right, whatever is
pure, whatever is
lovely, whatever is of
good repute, if there is any
excellence and if anything
worthy of praise, dwell on these things.
