I know this isn't a very popular subject outside of the most fundamentalist conservative circles. I am not telling you what to do with your life. That responsibility belongs to your spiritual head. If the Holy Spirit troubles or convicts you about what you are about to read, you should consult your spiritual head and do what he says.
Without any guile or agenda here is a biblical exegesis of Proverbs 31:10-31.
