Question
Is it ok for Christian married couples to watch sex videos? If no, give scripture references.

Answer
I would not give a blanket approval of this activity.

 It would depend, at least..., on the consciences of both of those who are watching them. If it seems like a sin to either, then they should not watch them. And should either have a predilection of enslavement to such material, it should also be avoided.

1 Cor 6:12-13

12 "All things are lawful for me," but not all things are helpful. "All things are lawful for me," but I will not be enslaved by anything.
RSV

Acts 24:15-16
16 So I strive always to keep my conscience clear before God and man.
NIV
