Does this count as sexual immorality? [Spirituality & Religion]

You're not having sex because you're not married, you're not even bothered to sext with anybody but you write sex scenes.

Well Jesus said if you even look at someone to lust over them in your mind then you are guilty of adultery.. So yeah we are all guilty before the LORD.. That's what the Law of God is designed to reveal to us..

It might offend those who have nothing better to do than think themselves the arbiters of others' intimate love-lives and erotic tastes, and believe love-making immoral; but they don't have to read or hear steamy erotic scenes.

I don't like pornography, but I don't try to tell those who do, that it is "wrong" or "immoral" (provided it is legal and adult of course). I am not one of those prudes who so fear and dislike the human mating act they want everyone to deny it exists; but I very much doubt intercourse scenes in dramas are really necessary for any real dramatic rather than spurious shallow commercial, reasons.

So, no, not immoral, but anyone uncomfortable writing such material is best finding other ways to be creative; or at least trying to be less explicit and even, if I may dare use the "R" word, be more romantic.

@ArishMell It's for my own good that I don't go back there
ArishMell · 70-79, M
@karysma Indeed. I offer you my best wishes for successful writing in other areas.
karysma · 36-40, F
@ArishMell Thanks 😊

We were raised very conservatively with very strict parents. As time went on in adulthood, I abandoned the strict up bring and became very curious about all they were hiding from me. As a result, I have been on a mission to make a very long bucket list and have enjoyed checking off most items. I keep adding new ones. Enjoy your fantasies until you can make them real!
Carazaa · F
It's great that you are concerned about that! We have to be careful because our mind can take us into dark and dangerous areas depression, loneliness, despair. But I think that writing about experiences is not necessarily immoral.
karysma · 36-40, F
@Carazaa Thing is some of the things I used to write I never experienced. I just imagined them 😊
Carazaa · F
@karysma ah, one day you might 🙂 I hope that is true if you want that. God gives us the desires in our hearts if we love him.

Yes, now do 40 hail marys
karysma · 36-40, F
@DDonde What do you think God will say
DDonde · 31-35, M
@karysma Not enough Hail Marys
karysma · 36-40, F
@DDonde Who told people to pray to Mary anyway? I know Jesus didn't
SirBenedictTheSecond · 26-30, M
You have to repent. You must.
karysma · 36-40, F
@Mindful I believe in God but I'm not religious. Yes I read the Bible but my choices are not influenced by people. I've realized how sex scenes mess up my inner man that is why I'm hesitant about going back to writing them
Mindful · 56-60, F
Being honest with yourself and Your inner spirit will always bring peace. @karysma
karysma · 36-40, F
@Mindful So true
In the religion I grew up with, yeah.
Degbeme · 70-79, M

Budwick · 70-79, M
Would you want God to read it?
Harriet03 · 46-50, F
@Budwick That's mild compared to his stuff bud!!
karysma · 36-40, F
@Budwick considering the fact that it's not porn I wouldn't mind him reading it. I mean he gets to watch far much worse things people do 😅
Carazaa · F
@Harriet03 Yes many don't like what they read in the Bible, it is what it is. Truth hurts sometimes.
Pfuzylogic · M
It expresses lust but having said that you have a God that understands you completely and knew every single part of you when you were called to serve.
ScarletWitch · 31-35, F
Then how are u supposed to have real smex?
karysma · 36-40, F
@ScarletWitch Wait for marriage I guess
Yulianna · 26-30, F
it's ok as long as the sex scenes are biblical...
@Yulianna It has from the beginning when Eve was taken out of Adam as a rib and will continue to be so.
Yulianna · 26-30, F
@Aliveshock the bible is a user manual for another age...
@Yulianna Catch up...it is used now.

How in the world would you ever reproduce with your partner??
Allelse · 36-40, M
Here is a good rule to go by - As long as everybody involved can consent, and nobody is being forced to take part, then do what makes you happy.
People can do whatever they want. We don’t have to ask people’s permission to write stories. That’s ludicrous. @Allelse
Allelse · 36-40, M
@Spoiledbrat I'm gonna smack you in the head, well of course you don't people's permission to write stories about them. I'm trying to give this religious idiot a good rule to go by, and since you don't need people's consent to write about them in her own fiction, then she doesn't need to worry now does she?
karysma · 36-40, F
@Allelse Please don't call me a religious idiot thank you very much
I would think not.
It is writing and there is nothing wrong or bad about it. You pick a subject and write your story. Too many people take the moral high ground but most will read it anyway. Remember Fifty Shades of Grey?
karysma · 36-40, F
@Mondayschild I read 50 Shades but now I skip sex scenes when I read a story because the images stay in my head and keep popping up when I pray or read the Bible

It's immoral if you don't share your sex scenes. 😏
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
From my point of view, it depends on what is in those sex scenes and who do you share them with. If it's a consensual adult then I don't see anything morally wrong with it.
karysma · 36-40, F
@CrazyMusicLover You can't exactly know who reads what these days. Underage kids have phones now and have access to the internet
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
@karysma If it's explicitly stated on the site that the content is for adults only then you can wash your hands. Kids have no business there and have been warned. But to be truly sure your stories won't get to wrong hands post them only to selected consenting adults who might appreciate them..

Maybe only if you’re really religious 🤷🏻‍♀️
karysma · 36-40, F
@SW-User I'm not religious. The God in me is saying No so I'm going with that
SW-User
Religion and sex go together soooo good, like Reese's peanut butter chocolate cups 🤪

Lustful thoughts are just that, lustful thoughts.

But i think they have to directed at someone to become adulterous thoughts.

One can sin within the mind apparently
karysma · 36-40, F
@OogieBoogie Is it really lust if it's a fictional character
@karysma well....hmmmm toughy.

Only you would know within your own desires if it's lustful.

Don't quote me ...but I think its the adulterous thoughts that are the ones to steer clear of .
karysma · 36-40, F
@OogieBoogie I agree
Donotfolowme · 51-55, F
REMsleep · 46-50, F
Depends on whose morals you are basing it off of? Whose standards?
For Abrahamic faiths and several others I'd say most likely yes.
If you are writting porn I'd say that yes this is engaging in fantasy of sex and lust and sharing with others to do so as well.
At the end of the day its a highly personal question only you can answer.
In Abrahamic faiths lust is a sin.
karysma · 36-40, F
@REMsleep It's a story a girl that lived a life parties and sexual immorality but becomes good along the way
Carazaa · F
@REMsleep Naked bodies have been on display for many hundreds of years in the Vatican, and paintings. nakedness is not necessarily porn. Love is not porn!
REMsleep · 46-50, F
@Carazaa Context is important and everything is subjective which I keep saying.
The Renaissance period in some parts of Europe was a time when some nudity was deemed permissible by the powers that be in religious art due to the concept behind the purpose of the nude display.
One purpose was to display innocence and lack of sin before the " fall of man".
The other was to display absolute poverty and the reliance on God for all that we receive.
Another was to depict the horror of lust and vanity.
Even at that time nude art was not acceptable everywhere in religious spaces and even less so in other times.
I keep stating that everything is subjective and that context is important.
Yes 60 years ago a drawing of boobs being passed around was considered to be porn.
Sex outside of marriage has always been sin and wrong in Abrahamic religion
Maybe ask this again....but use "sin" insread of immorality.

I have a feeling this will keep the pedantic religion trolls out, and the theologist in.

It's a good question though👍
karysma · 36-40, F
@OogieBoogie Sin and immorality are one and the same so it really doesn't matter what I call it

@swirlie Oh yes, I agree on the point of perception.

What one person would shrug off as really rather trivial would have someone else leaping up and down and writing indignant letter to the newspapers.

I think that is a combination of personal beliefs and tastes, and social attitudes generally. One way I judge if something is "immoral" is if sets out to harm others.
