Don't gay Jehovah's Witnesses today find easy access to gay porn? Perhaps viewing gay porn for the first time in our teenage years, watching gay porn became a regular habit, an actual addiction. Gay Jehovah's Witnesses, in particular, are likely to use porn as a resource in exploring sexuality and vicariously, that is, in a way that is experienced in the imagination through the actions of another person, so as to carry out their gay sexual desires and fantasies. They may compulsively watch it, unable to stop even when it jeopardizes their jobs or relationships, and even their relationship with Jehovah. Gay porn addicts among gay Jehovah's Witnesses find their porn consumption distressing.
And some gay Jehovah's Witnesses say, "But I can't masturbate unless I watch gay porn. I don't watch guys doing oral sex, or anal sex, or mutual masturbation, even no kissing, just guys masturbating solo."

Comments from the Branch on Pornography:
Uncleanness. The original Bible word translated “uncleanness” is a broad term that includes much more than sexual sins. It can refer to the harmful practice of smoking or the telling of obscene jokes. (2 Cor. 7:1; Eph. 5:3, 4) It also applies to unclean activities practiced by an individual in private, such as reading sexually stimulating books or viewing pornography, which may lead to the unclean habit of masturbation.—Col. 3:5.
Uncleanness: Or “filthiness; depravity; lewdness.” In its figurative meaning, “uncleanness” (Greek, a·ka·thar·siʹa) embraces impurity of any kind—in sexual matters, in speech, in action, and in spiritual relationships. (Compare 1Co 7:14; 2Co 6:17; 1Th 2:3.) “Uncleanness” can therefore refer to various types of wrongdoing and may include various degrees of seriousness. The word stresses the morally repugnant nature of the wrong conduct or condition.—See Glossary, “Unclean,” and study notes on Ga 5:19; Eph 4:19.
Those who habitually view pornography nurture “uncontrolled sexual passion,” which may result in their becoming addicted to sex. Research indicates that individuals who admitted to having an irresistible urge to watch pornography show the same signs of addiction as do alcoholics and drug addicts. No wonder the practice of viewing pornography has harmful results—such as deep feelings of shame, low productivity in the workplace, unhappy family life, divorce, and suicide. On celebrating a year of being free of his addiction to pornography, one man wrote: “I have restored a sense of personal integrity that was missing.”
Furthermore, we are counseled at Colossians 3:5: "Deaden*, therefore, your body members that are on the earth as respects sexual immorality*, uncleanness*, uncontrolled sexual passion*, hurtful desire, and greediness, which is idolatry."
*Deaden: Paul uses vivid figurative language to highlight that strong measures are needed in order to eliminate wrong fleshly desires. (Ga 5:24) The Greek word rendered “deaden” literally means to “put to death,” “kill,” or “do away with.”—Compare Mt 5:29, 30; 18:8, 9; Mr 9:43, 45, 47.
*sexual immorality: The Greek word por·neiʹa is a general term for all sexual activity that is unlawful according to the Bible, including adultery, sexual relations between unmarried individuals, homosexual acts, and other sexual sins.—See Glossary and study note on Ga 5:19.
*uncleanness: Or “filthiness; depravity; lewdness.” In its figurative meaning, “uncleanness” (Greek, a·ka·thar·siʹa) embraces impurity of any kind—in sexual matters, in speech, in action, and in spiritual relationships. (Compare 1Co 7:14; 2Co 6:17; 1Th 2:3.) “Uncleanness” can therefore refer to various types of wrongdoing and may include various degrees of seriousness. The word stresses the morally repugnant nature of the wrong conduct or condition.—See Glossary, “Unclean,” and study notes on Ga 5:19; Eph 4:19.
*uncleanness: Or “filthiness; depravity; lewdness.” Of the first three “works of the flesh” mentioned in this verse, “uncleanness” (Greek, a·ka·thar·siʹa) is the broadest in meaning. This word appears ten times in the Christian Greek Scriptures. Literally, the word refers to something physically unclean or filthy. (Mt 23:27) The figurative meaning encompasses impurity of any kind—in sexual matters, in speech, in action, and in spiritual relationships, such as the worship of false gods. (Ro 1:24; 6:19;
