In order to protect our eyes and hearts, my wife and I always look away or change the show when someone is on screen improperly dressed or missing clothing. For example, if a woman is wearing a form-fitting low-cut dress, I don't want to see that junk, so I'll turn it off. Or if a man is not wearing a shirt, my wife will either look away or turn off the show. We do this to respect each other and keep our marriage pure.
The strange thing, though, is that I don't really know anyone who practices the same. Most Christians I know seem to watch stuff that I know has sexual content and inappropriate stuff, and clearly don't share the same values as us. It's always been odd. Like if we go to the beach with friends, the women might wear only their underwear (swim suit), or the guys will be shirtless. We don't want those images in our mind.
I thought this stuff was common sense and easy to understand. Some people might say "well that's our freedom." But obviously the stats show that most men seem to have a problem with p0rnography, so I don't trust their idea of freedom.
Anyway, sorry if this venting comes across as judgemental. I just don't know what I'm missing.
