Passage: Song of Songs 4:5-7*

5. Your two breasts are like two fawns, like twin fawns of a gazelle that browse among the lilies.

6. Until the day breaks and the shadows flee, I will go to the mountain of myrrh and to the hill of incense.

7. All beautiful you are, my darling; there is no flaw in you.

Questions

1. How does the author view the nakedness of his spouse?

 

2. How does Web pornography depict nakedness?

 

Practical Help

If there were any doubt, this passage makes clear that nakedness is not the problem with pornography. It's the context.

But what should we do if we've already engaged in the wrong context, such as pornography? It's difficult, after all, simply to turn off our memories (and arousal).

Perhaps Solomon's poem of marital love can help even here. Follow its cue: Don't denigrate beauty; praise God for it. Even the raciest porn memories lose their power in the presence of praise.
