The Netflix show, Black Mirror, is like a futuristic Twilight Zone. Of the episodes I've seen, most resonate with some profound parable type lesson.
There was an episode where the people were living in a futuristic world. Everybody was given an implant at birth that allowed them to record and retrieve all memories in a video recording stored in your head. You could openly share your memories in HD quality on TV's, hold them and recall them with perfect clarity at any time.
In the plot, the husband noticed something strange about his wife's interaction with another man at a party. He reviews the recording over and over and he finds reason to accuse her of having an affair. The wife claimed he was an ex and they had a meaningless sexual tryst before she was married after a week of knowing him. It was nothing. Then.. it was over a month... then 6 months as the story changed.
The man burned with jealousy knowing that this other man conjured up HD quality memories of his wife in bed. And, his wife could also bring up these memories. In fact, she played these memories in her head while they were having intercourse.
In the plot, the man becomes So consumed by the jealousy, he goes to the ex-boyfriend's house, threatens his life and forces him to delete the memories from his head. He came home to his wife and compelled her to delete those memories too.
(Unfortunately, in the plot he discovered his wife had been cheating when he noticed the dates of their memories aligned with the conception of his child.)
The point of my post is...
There's a profound Biblical lesson in all this. When we have premarital sex, we cannot remove those memories, and they can cause damage to the marital relationship.
