Try getting off the sinning wheel. If you think I am not getting it, then try explaining what you mean.
I do not get punished by God. I cannot imagine having any relationship that involves me being punished.
I explained (#267 ), and you didn't get it. It does not matter to me if you don't get it, or if you're pretending you don't get it. Others read, and understand.
Feeling remorse from realizing your actions dishonored God is the 'punishment', aka 'woodshed'. It helps us get back on the right path. But then again, I already said so.
Since you never sin, it is not an issue for you.

It's a show, someone playing the muse for a fantasy, not the actual person.
Porn can involve 15-year-old's (and younger...sometimes much younger) who have run away from home (or been tossed out) and are living on the streets. They are NOT playing a part. Most are trying to survive. Sometimes that involves selling their bodies for sex, sometimes it involves selling their bodies for porn.
There is a very ugly side to the porn industry. Which is ignored by all the "good" Christians looking at porn....then later absolving themselves by saying, "I have sinned." And claiming they are remorseful. Right now....this minute....there are people who sit in church on Sundays......looking at porn made by kids. Those people will not hesitate to tell others they are sinners who need to get right with God.
I've given peanut butter sandwiches to those kids trying to fill their stomachs so they don't have to make money doing porn for the Christians in the Bible Belt who need to get their rocks off. Adults who can't control themselves or find the "off" button on their cable remote. Those kids are the cast-offs. And a heck if a lot of them have fled abusive "Christian" parents.

God and I are old friends. God does not punish me, and has no reason to punish me. I find the idea astonishing.
Remorse and punishment do not go hand in hand. The idea is not doing things that would bring some sort of remorse in the first place. If you know you are going to regret something, why do it to begin with?
If you know you are going to regret seeking porn, then stop seeking porn. If you did not know porn was going to cause you regret, but feel regret, then stop seeking porn.
Remorse for the same action over and over again? That is not remorse, and you are gaining something from your actions.
OK, change the word. Does God discipline or reprove you? If not, you've got bigger problems.
Proverbs 3:11-12
"My son, do not despise the LORD's discipline or be weary of his reproof, for the LORD reproves him whom he loves, as a father the son in whom he delights."

CAN
but how much actually does? Are we to burn the entire industry at the stake because of "can"?
If we were, we might as well do the same for all humans.

Ok Jimmie, you seem to be speaking from first hand experience, can you share a little of it ?. Thanks
No, I was not necessarily speaking from personal experience, but rather from scripture.
No, I will not share my personal experiences here.
Is that a yes or no to being disciplined by the Lord? . You don't have to go into specifics, but surely you could explain at the very least how you were disciplined. Reaping what we sow comes to my mind. In others words if we judge someone we are in return judged by our own judgement.... That is the Law of the Lord, a law that does not fail.

God does not discipline, or reprove me. Why would God do that? We are old friends. You should stop doing things that require discipline.
You have very big problems if you need to be disciplined. Perhaps you like being disciplined? I think that is a problem. You do things so you must be disciplined. It must be tiring for you. I suggest you give it up.
I do not need to be disciplined. The idea is unimaginable.
