Do you remember Clara Peller?
She was the “Where’s the Beef Lady” for Wendy’s. Back in the day, Wendy’s had awesome commercials. The same company that made Where’s the Beef” made this lesser known commercial:

Parts is Parts.
Porn is about the Parts. Not the whole person.
In our day and age – everything seems to be about Boobs, butts and legs. We get it in advertising, tv, radio, and movies… the only difference in those avenues and porn is that porn goes further than most of the other stuff.
Porn puts it all out on display – and leaves nothing to the imagination – it robs sex of mystery and beauty. But, that’s a post for another week.
Porn gets you all hopped up about the “physical” act of sex. It’s like the producers are thinking… “What good looking bodies can we get together to have the most intense (sometimes weird) looking scene where bodies writhe and contort, and have lots of badly dubbed oohs and aahs.”
Porn removes the “whole” person from the equation. The performers in porn have souls, minds, spirits. They have emotions, feelings, bad days, good days, some even have kids and spouses.
When you view a body via porn, it’s shallow because you don’t get to know the rest. Their minds, spirits, souls.. it’s empty. When you use someone for their body and don’t experience the rest of them, it’s a superficial interaction at best!
Shouldn’t sex be more than that? Shouldn’t it be a fulfilling act between a husband and wife who not only share one part, their bodies, but all the other parts that make up who they are.. their mind, spirit and souls?
Porn is an easy out. Why? Because you don’t have to deal with another real human beings’ mind, spirit and soul! They don’t respond to you – and you don’t have to respond to them!!
Just like the processed chicken in the commercial, porn may take care of the immediate hunger, but its not the real thing. We all know the argument about eating processed food… that its bad for your health. Consuming porn can wreak havoc on your mind, your thoughts, your relationships with your spouse and the opposite sex.
What are your thoughts on ‘Parts’ versus the ‘Whole Person’?
This is part three of the ongoing series about Porn and Marriage.
