How? Porn is harmless the vast majority of the time. And who really cares if someone decides to watch video of people fucking as long as those in the video did so willing?

This is also largely irrelevant to regulation efforts.

You don't get many people demanding we ban hamburgers because someone sat in a chair and ate hamburgers one after the other for 48 hours straight two times a week for a year and developed problems, like turning themselves black from their skin getting some problem.

The ordinary way porn is used is not for hours at a time. If people have a porn addiction then yes, that is a problem, but it is not with porn itself. It is a mental health issue and without pornography they would attach to some other behavior or thing and get addicted to that instead.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

i don't think porn in itself is a public health crisis, but the fact that """teen""" and incest are consistently among the most popular categories definitely is. these things should not be normalized.

I think the former might be in part because a large portion of porn's consumer base is teenagers (mainly teenage boys, of course), but it's still worrying.

The teen thing may have to do with human instincts regarding fertility bleeding through into personal desires.

Incest I dunno. Probably that it's socially taboo.

Which goes back to my point that a lot of porn is marketed directly for non-adults.

I mean, fake teenagers aren't really much more fertile than the people in their 20s playing them, so idk about that.

35-49 is actually the biggest age group for consumers of porn. The myth that porn is predominantly watched by horny teenager boys is just that.

Hm, that's interesting. I still imagine that teenagers make up a significant portion of the base, though.

It's like wrestling. You know it isn't real, but it's more fun if you let yourself pretend for a bit, and then sometimes Donald Trump is there and everything is ruined.
