Is it ever acceptable for Christians to watch explicit videos?

My friend is from a staunch Christian denomination, and we got into a debate about… Explicit videos. Basically, he insists that if they are married, and say they are doing it just to procreate, then it's okay to watch.

I believe it contradicts the dogma, but he is real adament about it. I'm just posting it here to see if it's a potentially acceptable interpretation.

    My opinion: yes, but only with respect to genuinely educational videos

    - e.g. videos that help a woman to prepare for pregnancy, sex-ed videos for young Christians, etc.

    or perhaps also to personal ("home movie") videos (but I am not concerned since I am not so inclined - why watch what you once did when you can do?)

    You should probably keep your nose out of friend's bedroom before you lose a friend.

    Sounds like he's using mental gymnastics to justify something he thinks is wrong.

    Your friend is committing the common practice of attempting to justify our personal sins. "Yes, it is sinful for everyone else, but not for me, because ...."
