This is Jesus from the Sermon on the Mount talking about sexuality in the kingdom of God.

0:05.2

This is what he says, you've heard that it was said, you shall not commit adultery.

0:10.0

But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her

in his heart. If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away.

This is God's Word. So as I grew up, my first exposure to pornography happened at around the age of eight.

0:33.3
