Sex is a great productive power which contributes in making family and thus a healthy society.
Wasting such capability in just getting pleasure without associated responsibility isnot good.

The Biblical definition of fornication would provide for the violation of the marital bed. This would be along the lines of adultery and any other violation of the marital bed that would be a breach of the marriage vows as well. I think your real question is not about fornication but rather masturbation which is a different issue.

Do you mean masturbate? To fornicate is to have sex outside of marriage. It doesn't automatically involve pornographic images. Masturbation frequently relies on pornographic images.
I say it's not immoral to masturbate. Period. If the images you use happen to be of your consenting spouse, more power to ya. I'm sure you had fun making them. ;)

I may be wrong but I certainly don't think so. We married Christians love to spice it up. Keeps us happy and from being tempted by others. Its all fair game in the bedroom if both are consenting.

14. What’s the big deal with porno?
Pornography is attractive. The reality should not be denied or dismissed. Instead, we need to ask why. Why is it so darned alluring? How is that it can reach in and get such a grip on our souls that it seems to suck us in with irresistible force?
I'm (Christopher West) speaking from a man's perspective, of course. Visual pornography is predominantly a male thing. It taps into the way men are wired much more than into the way women are. This is why PLAYGIRL magazine is purchased much more by men with same-sex attraction than by women. Most women simply don't get their "kicks" by looking at picture of naked men. There is however, a steamy female counter part to pornography --- romance novels. Both (romance novels & porno) are appealing to the fallen impulse in us for sexual gratification. Neither is very healthy. In fact, in both forms they lie to us.
What's the big deal with porno? It robs us of the very meaning of life. It's an anti-gospel message, because it seeks to foster precisely those distortions of our sexual desires that we must struggle against to obtain true love.
What's the big deal with porno? It does nothing but foster in a man his fallen inclination to treat women as things for his own self-gratification. A man who uses porno, so long as he remains in its clutches, has incapacitated himself to love women properly.
This isn't because the naked body is bad. Nor, for that matter, it is bad to desire to see a naked body. What's wrong is the lust in the human heart and the desire to foster the lust. What's wrong is in portraying the naked body in a way that intentionally incites lust and reduces a human being to an object to gratify the lust.
The antidote to porno is to fill that deep interior need for revelation of the meaning of sexuality with the truth. When we see the truth of sexuality, the profound mystery of God's plan revealed though our bodies, we find what we've been looking for our whole lives. Wehn we find the truth, the lies no longer attract because we see them as the empty counterfeits they are.
If you're stuck in a habit of porno use, if you've been exposed to porno at any time in your life, and are seeking to undo its effects, if you're the wife, girlfriend, or fiancee of a man using prono, don't despair. Go for help. You'll find that there is hope, and you can be healed"

Man. I'm a devoted Christian. As long as your spouse is alright with it, you 2 can be as freaky as you want. You have to keep the spice up, so if you 2 want to be as nasty as possible, then you 2 enjoy it.
(NOTE the fact that I said you 2.)

all fornication is wrong.
1Cr 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

Sex and pornography are not immoral if they involve consenting adults. This is especially true with a consenting spouse.

God says let a man and a woman be joined together. You and your wife are the only two looking at these, RIGHT?!!
