Staying Pure For Marriage

I've deeply found conviction on how it would be like to be married. A small worry that I have is that as a kid I watched a lot of pornography. It was a sin that I don't think will ever be excusable if caught in the present with a spouse. I have heard of some couples consenting to pornographic material to try to spice up their sex life. In my opinion, it's wrong to financially advocate these porn stars because it encourages them to live a life that could be filled with emptiness and guilt. Sex is among the most intimate acts that is treasured with a committed spouse. It's in our genes to be monogamous lovers and a lot of times, I think a special relationship gone bad can stigmatize the individual's emotions. God wishes to protect individuals who struggle with lust:

"Marriage must be honored among all and the marriage bed kept undefiled, for God will judge sexually immoral people and adulterers." (Hebrews 13:4)

I believe that when you factor in loving a pure woman for a wife, you want to really build her up and be solely devoted to her because you know that's how to make her life content. The influence where relying on porn like a drug to arouse oneself and use as a medium for sex is foolish. It's because pornography also promotes masturbation and ejaculation outside of the marriage box. This can make some lonely guys guilty and lack in confidence, which is in fact the most reported results of watching porn. I myself am finding that I want to keep pure for the reason of enjoying sex in marriage. Committing to having great sex with only the spouse reaps a great reward. We should be the judge of one night stands or relationships that don't seem to tie a knot.
