Should we ban pornography?

[Kennlind]

Pornography is one of the most common forms of entertainment in the world. The definition of pornography is "printed or visual material containing the explicit description or display of sexual organs or activity, intended to stimulate sexual excitement." But what's so bad about this? Well, Pornography has far more negatives than positives to it. What are those negatives?

-Creates emotional bond with artificial world
-Unsatisfying, results in a short term high, eventually results in feelings of emptiness, low self-esteem and deep loneliness.
-Makes you sexually immature
-Means you can’t get aroused by just your spouse
-Porn wrecks your libido
-Porn makes you sexually lazy
-Makes regular intercourse seem mundane
-Makes it difficult to last long during sex

There are far, far more and one I would like to go into detail more is it's addictiveness. A porn addiction can be worse than a drug addiction or an alcohol addiction. It can ruin your life, your marriage and other relationships. According to SAGU (source), 20% of men visit porn at work, 40 million US adults regularly visit porn sites and 10% of adults admit to a porn addiction. This is horrific! One in ten adults are addicted to porn. It's terrible. How many kids watch porn?? There is very few effective methods to stop children from accessing porn without downright censoring their internet use. The only way I can see that we cure this is an outright banning of porn. What do you think? Should we ban porn?

Fuck no. Iike my guns you can take my porn from my cold dead hands.

-Creates emotional bond with artificial world: what? No it doesn't anymore the NS does
-Unsatisfying, results in a short term high, eventually results in feelings of emptiness, low self-esteem and deep loneliness: No it doesn't do any of that. Maybe it's for you because of religious reasons.
-Makes you sexually immature: hahahahhahah
-Means you can’t get aroused by just your spouse: hahahahaha
-Porn wrecks your libido: hahahahaha
-Porn makes you sexually lazy: ah hahahahaha
-Makes regular intercourse seem mundane: hahahahahahah
-Makes it difficult to last long during sex: dude I last a long time so no.

Sauce? Also what the fuck is SAGU?

There are just so very many ways for me to say this to you

[Kennlind]

There are so many ways i can say this

Fuck no. Iike my guns you can take my porn from my cold dead hands

So we should continue allowing porn addictions to destroy families and the moral fabric of society? What's your solution to dealing with porn addictions then?

[The Sauganash Union]

It's more on the responsibility of the parents. I think Western nations will show decreases in pornography consumption as the health affects of intensive pornography viewing during one's formative sexual years become apparent.

[Grinning Dragon]

Fuck no. Like my guns you can take my porn from my cold dead hands

I concur with this statement.

Do it on your own time. It's not my problem. Also read my edit

[United Muscovite Nations]

We should ban its production.

-Creates emotional bond with artificial world

So does all fiction. Should we ban Lord of the Rings and Star Wars too?

-Unsatisfying, results in a short term high, eventually results in feelings of emptiness, low self-esteem and deep loneliness.

So does all fiction. Or have you newer seen a movie or stopped playing a video game only to get bummed out over how regular and boring real life is? I certainly have.

-Makes you sexually immature

This line lacks any meaningful definition. What is "sexual maturity" and how is it defined?
Also, this line requires citation.

-Means you can’t get aroused by just your spouse

This line requires citation.

-Porn wrecks your libido

This line requires citation.

-Porn makes you sexually lazy

This line requires citation. Although I would conjecture that likely the reverse is true. As in, lazy people get attracted to porn because it's easier than finding a mate as opposed to porn making people lazy about finding a mate.

-Makes regular intercourse seem mundane

This line requires citation.

-Makes it difficult to last long during sex

This line requires citation.

The moral fabric of society is subjective... Porn adictions? Go to a doctor, people is smart enough to know when their manhood or womanhood is saying ''I can't bear it anymore pal'', no one has died from that except a Brazilian kid after more than 40 shots which is a Guinness record.

To live and let live. Moral police died in the 1960s.

[Alvecia]

Psh, naaah.

Porn is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Not only can it be a sexual education tool for teens and adults who lack it due to upbringing in families that forbid it, it also allows for a way to learn how to do it" for first timers, as well as gives a health way for people who like it a little rough to vent their interests.

How do you outright ban porn without downright censoring the internet?

[Damverland]

I don't wanna masturbate to an extra curvy piece of wood all the time, so nah.

I think porn has existed longer then sliced bread.

[Zhopgrad]

My answer is a straight No, it would restrict the rights of the people, all we should do is make Counselling free to deal with most of the effects.
And I might add it could give one an idea of what they can do later on, a tutorial of sorts.

[Ifreann]

Porn is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Not only can it be a sexual education tool for teens and adults who lack it due to upbringing in families that forbid it...

It could be, but in general isn't.

[The Derpy Democratic Republic Of Herp]

No, beacuse I don't want people in the porn industry to lose there jobs.

[Damverland]

No, beacuse I don't want people in the porn industry to lose there jobs.

Come on, you know that's not the only reason why...

You may well be right.

[Clandestia]

Because police barging into the vast majority of the public's homes for watching porn won't further the negative image of police and certainly isn't a waste of resources that could be better suited doing literally anything else.

Degenerates will remain degenerates regardless of the legal status of porn. Do you honestly believe a porn ban would work? The sheer volume of addicts makes it roughly as feasible as banning alcohol. If a policy has no way in hell of succeeding, why bother pursuing it?

[The Derpy Democratic Republic Of Herp]

No, beacuse I don't want people in the porn industry to lose there jobs.

No, really.

Numbers range from being a 12 billion dollar industry to 5 billion dollar industry but the point is that it is worth billions of dollars in the economy.

I don't think it would be good if we just destroyed that industry.

[Fauxia]

Ban porn altogether? No. Ban the more disgusting ones though.

[Ifreann]

Ban porn altogether? No. Ban the more disgusting ones though.

Why? Does it harm you somehow if other people watch something you don't like?

Well child porn ain't great
