Objectification

One of the major points in the argument against pornography is its objectifying of women. Women are presented as an object to view rather than as a whole person created in the image of God.  When people become an object to be used and discarded or forgotten, things have gone seriously wrong.
But a second side to this needs to be considered.  Obviously, the women that get caught up in porn are victims, even those that "freely choose" to begin that path.  But what about the mentality, the thinking, behind attention-getting?  Since it is wrong for a woman to degrade herself by making herself an object to be looked upon, would it not be wrong for any woman to present herself as an object even outside of the porn industry? What then are the reasons for why people dress the way they do, apply makeup, or keep their hair?  What is the motivating drive behind the efforts put into appearance?
When it comes down to it, a woman uses her appearance to gain attention.  She will work according to the whims of current culture to attract attention.  Clearly there are other sins involved in porn, but the "attention" principle is underneath it all.  Even if the attention being sought is not lewd or vulgar, it is still attention being drawn to the physical with complete disregard to the rest of the person. 
Do we seek to draw the attention of others by adorning ourselves in a certain way?  Do we look upon the appearance of others with total disregard to the rest of the person?  In short, is our thinking based upon the physical and not the eternal?  We must assess ourselves and ask ourselves what it is that we genuinely think is important.  Do we put a great emphasis upon our physical appearance or do we take great joy in the appearance of others?  How does this compare with our thinking about other peoples souls?  The emphasis we put upon our own appearance communicates to others what we think is important and it also draws their attention to the temporal and not the eternal.  If we love others like we are supposed to love, we will help them toward godliness, not the flesh.  The emphasis we put upon the way others appear communicates a belief in the importance of the temporal and not the eternal. 
The short of it is this: the emphasis we place upon things physical tells the truth about what we truly believe about the importance of things eternal.
