Watching nudity isn't okay, says Holmes, explaining that Jesus said those who look at others with lustful intent have already committed adultery. "Seeing naked women on the screen — or naked men — causes a man, or woman, to sin with their minds and their desires, and often with their bodies." Based on Matthew 5:28–29, he adds, "If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away."

2. Am I Longing to See God?

"The defilement of the mind and heart by watching nudity dulls the heart's ability to see and enjoy God," says Holmes. The desiringGod writer challenges believers to watch nudity, then praise God and see if they "enjoy Him more."

3. Do I Care About the Souls of the Nudes?

He explains that when believers embrace nudity in entertainment they are " … implicitly endorsing the sin of the women who sell themselves this way …," and are ignoring God's call for women to adorn themselves in respectable apparel with modesty and self-control (1 Timothy 2:9).

4. Would I Be Glad If My Daughter Played This Role?
