About 10 years ago, a some friends of mine were exchanging a computer system.

The receiver of the computer had never had one before, and knew next to nothing about the internet, which, it is interesting to note, was not uncommon 10 years ago. He asked what the internet was all about.

I suggested that it was mainly about 3 things- making money, mad religion and perhaps most of all, sex.

He was most taken with the later of the three, and asked what I meant by sex.

I replied that every sexual perversion known (and a few that are not) was available at the click of a button.

Unable to resist, he asked “Like what?”

Not wanting to reveal any expertise whatsoever, I asked him for suggestions. He (rather quickly I felt) came up with sex with donkeys.

Quick as a flash, my other friend typed into the address bar http://www.donk…….. (best not complete the link just in case I lead you into temptation!)

And there is was.

Which kind of made the point. And then some.

A few months ago, in response to the hysteria around the Olympics, I posted a poem called ‘Cheerleading’ (here).

This item is the most popular one I ever wrote in terms of the ‘hits’ it receives. It has a picture of some Cheerleaders, but I can not imagine that most of the people who visit this post linger there for very long. Poetry probably amounts to a big disappointment.

Which brings me, in a round about way, to the point of this post. A question-

There is one other thing that occurs to me- the viewing of pornography is clearly something that is common to many men (and some women.) It seems at least possible that this secretive and shameful activity is as common amongst Christians as without. It is just that we are even less likely to be open and honest about it. Which will almost certainly make the activity even more secretive and compulsive.
