All-inclusive Randomness

I read a mention of an interview with a Christian porn star somewhere. It piqued my curiosity and I googled. I highly recommend reading the whole interview, regardless of whether it’s real or not.

Douglas: Speaking of autobiographies, can you tell me your testimony-how you came to Christ.

CP: That’s a really great story. We were filming a love scene in a church, and I overheard the pastor telling the director all about Jesus. The director blew him off, but I wanted to hear more. So after the love scene was over, I found the pastor and asked to hear more. He told me how Jesus died for my sins and that accepting him would let me have a personal, one on one, relationship with God.

Douglas: Did the minister tell you, after you accepted Christ, that you needed to stop living your current life and start living for Christ?

CP: He’s the one who encouraged me to be a Christian porn star.

Douglas: What kind of minister was this?

CP: Methodist.

After reading the interview I decided to do some more research on Christian porn. I just couldn’t resist, I was hoping to seen an example (haven’t found one yet, any recommendations?). What I found instead was a proposal for establishment of Christian porn according to the Bible. Interesting indeed:

Toward a Framework for Christian Porn

* It must depict only married couples engaging in sexual acts.
This means that any sexual partners in a Christian porn production must be husband and wife, both on and off screen. All actors must be married in real life and portray married couples onscreen. And they must only be depicted having sex with their wedded spouses.
* It must portray sex within the context of a Christian marriage.
It must be apparent through the actions, behaviors, and speech of the characters portrayed that they are Christian, lead a Christian lifestyle, and have a marriage in which their faith is central. This could be depicted in a variety of ways, with scenes showing a couple praying together, studying the Bible, attending church or church functions, and generally relating to one another as loving Christian spouses outside of the bedroom.
* It must be instructional.
Part of the mission of Christian pornography is to graphically educate married believers in how to achieve more sexual pleasure, intimacy, and closeness in their relationships. It can do this by dramatizing various sexual techniques and positions so that couples can learn how to incorporate them into their lovemaking routines. In their onscreen roles, the actors should model both correct sexual techniques and appropriate sexual attitudes, by being respectful and treating one another’s bodies as the sacred gift from God that they are.
* Husband and wife must both receive their due benevolence.
This is in keeping with the scriptural mandate of I Corinthians 7:3, which says “Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.” This means that both sex partners must be shown getting equal pleasure and sexual attention from one another.
* No extramarital sex, unless it is to illustrate the downfalls of adultery.
The spouses in a Christian porn production must never have adulterous relations, unless they (and their partner in extramarital crime) suffer and are punished fittingly for their sins. (In deference to modern conventions, the punishment does not have to be one mandated by scripture, i.e., being stoned to death.)
* It must be uplifting and inspirational, focusing on strengthening Christian marriage and Christian faith.
Christian porn must have an overall positive message. Of course, its primary message would be to demonstrate the sacred use of sexuality and sensuality to reinforce the bonds of Christian marriage. But in all other respects, it should affirm Christian values of community, family, faith, honesty, charity, and so forth. It should show that having a joyous and fulfilling married sex life is one of the fruits of following the path of righteousness.
* No profanity.
Although exclamations of pleasure are acceptable, as are the natural sounds and vocalizations of lovemaking, Christian porn should contain no profanity or swearing. The participants should address each other lovingly and respectfully at all times. Of course, it goes without saying that the actors will not take the Lord’s name in vain, nor that of his Son.

More here. While there, poke around the website, they seem to have other interesting interpretations of human sexuality according to the bible, including the recommendation to have anal sex as a way of saving virginity for marriage, backed up by quotes and all. I would be inclined to think it’s a scam/joke, except the website is pretty poorly designed
