A Science-Based Case for Ending the Porn Epidemic

[Brian4Liberty]

OK, Boomers. (Looks like it’s up to you.)

 

[nikcers]

There is no doubt that the internet and modern electronic devices have altered people’s brains, especially younger people. The instant gratification, rewards and addictive nature are well known, especially by the apps and websites that provide such services. Facebook and others have admitted as much. People sit around and interact with their devices instead of interacting with each other, or going out and doing something. Males are probably more addicted to video games and porn, women to celebrities, fame, fortune and trying to make their lives look glamorous and exciting. Constant selfies on Instagram or whatever apps they may use. And no need to mention those that are addicted to politics or trolling the internet.

What has it caused? A generation of depressed and anxiety ridden kids on drugs because they have no real lives, and nothing can compare to the false lives on the internet.

Solution? Get off the internet, and extremely limit your children’s access.

OK BOOMER but the internet is how people communicate now. So the solution is to make the whole world communicate the old fashioned way or not to talk to anyone?? I understand limiting your internet usage and websites that are echo chambers that limit your ability to communicate with different audiences because that makes your social skills worse and limits your ability to see other perspectives. Something is addictive if is difficult to stop. If you experience negative physiological or psychological feelings if you stop. People need to stop citing extreme behaviors of individuals and attributing them to groups of people. Or telling people the way they live their life and their sensibilities are wrong because they like different things. Scientific studies are more often than not rigged to promote an idea by the people who fund them. People can do things that are addictive to some people that are not addictive to them. I think the worst addiction is the people who sit around all day thinking of ways other people should live their lives instead of living their own.

Porn was the reason the internet was invented.

It's true.

If you want to let porn warp your brain I don't care

If you don't care, then why are you posting in support of banning it?

Pipe down junior! No one is suggesting taking away your cell phone, but you are not allowed to bring it to the dinner table.

No one really eats dinner at the dinner table. In a way the internet helps people communicate certain things because it lets you be directly brutally honest. People can be a dick who arent a dick in real life because they feel like its anonymous or wont get punched in the face for saying asshole things. The bad part is all the assholes get an outlet to vent their assholeness that they can't let out in real life without being cancelled or fired or punched. So you get asshole echo chambers who get to bully people into hating everyone and becoming an asshole. Then it permeates into real life and everyone's an asshole to eachother in real life. Then people have to retreat into their safe spaces or get addicted to being an asshole to everyone. Im ok with a cell phone at the dinner table as long as people aren't retreating into the cellphones because they are eating dinner with a bunch of assholes. If you aren't an asshole people will want to talk to you in real life at the dinner table. People are social animals and its more fun to talk to someone in real life than on the internet.

Why is a.sshole censored??

Oh look - the anti vaxxer 'splaining why the first amendment needs to be overthrown for the children, because SCIENCE .

What does porn have to do with the first amendment? That only protects speech. Images of people fucking are not speech.

And fuck the "for the children" nonsense, porn should be illegal for being subversive and harmful to society and all pornographers should get the death penalty.

Meh, I saw some data recently, may have been posted here, but essentially showed that moderate porn usage is perfectly healthy and does not contribute to ED in actual sexual situations. In fact, it showed the opposite. Not to mention, they are going to be less likely to get prostate cancer.

What moderate porn usage means can vary quite drastically depending on the person's libido. So if somebody has a weak libido, it might be that they view porn once a week and that is moderate. It could be somebody with a strong libido views porn two or three times a day and that is moderate for them.

Now, take the person with the weak libido - if they are viewing porn three times a day, then they are likely addicted and may develop problems whereas the strong libido person is not. If the person with the strong libido views porn 5 or 10 times a day, that is a good sign they are probably addicted and develop some type of problems.

I would also say that moderate porn usage involves some semi-realistic sexual interactions. If you are into some weird porn that does not resemble anything like a sexual situation between them and a person of the opposite sex, then I could see how that could cause the re-wiring issues. I see no issue with guys watching girls solo, girl on girl, guy on girl, girl on girl on guy, girl on girl on girl on guy.. Not sure why any guy would want to watch anything other than that. Except maybe girl on girl on girl on girl on guy.. but anything more than that is just crazy.

Porn is psychological warfare that turns you into a weak voyeuristic beta cuck. Do you think an alpha lion sits around and masturbates while watching other lions take his lionesses? Have some respect for yourself and your women, you degenerate!

I am pretty sure if porn was good that it would be banned. If you were starving would you rather eat something or watch a movie about people eating? Also I don't know how anyone can view porn on their computer without getting all types of malware installed. It is not possible to view porn on the internet without all types of buggers attaching to your equipment.. For me that reason alone is good enough for me to ban porn at least from from my computer.

May God have mercy on his atheist, police-hating, non-voting, anarchist soul.

What?!? No ban?

SS is one of my largest donors of +rep. It earns him special privileges.

Where are the Ron Paul libertarians???? People arguing for their definition of the common good at the expense of individual liberty = WTFF?

If the porn involves consenting individuals of age, then there is no victim involved, so there is no need to limit its expression.

And porn is actually protected under the First Amendment as free expression in the judicial branch's interpretation. They've ruled on it at least twice that I know of.

Ohhhhh, you mean like vaccines...?

I don't care about your "liberty" to consume or produce smut. Sorry not sorry! Find another way to coom.

"Consenting adults" LOL:

https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdca/pr/girlsdoporn-owners-and-employees-charged-sex-trafficking-conspiracy

SAN DIEGO – The owners and two employees of the popular adult websites GirlsDoPorn and GirlsDoToys were charged in federal court today with sex trafficking crimes in connection with a scheme to deceive and coerce young women to appear in sex videos.

According to a complaint, owners Michael James Pratt and Matthew Isaac Wolfe along with adult film performer and producer Ruben Andre Garcia and administrative assistant Valorie Moser used deception and false promises to lure the victims, who had responded to ads for modeling jobs that would supposedly pay $5,000. Eventually the women were told the job was really for adult films.

To persuade the women to participate, the defendants convinced them they could remain anonymous and that their videos would not be posted on the internet. In reality, the entire purpose was to post the videos on the internet. According to financial records, the websites have generated more than $17 million in revenue.

According to the complaint, the circumstances were not at all what was promised. Some of the women were pressured into signing documents without reviewing them and then threatened with legal action or outing if they failed to perform; some were not permitted to leave the shooting locations until the videos were made; family and friends and the general public eventually saw the videos online; some victims were harassed and ridiculed and estranged from their families as a result; and some were sexually assaulted and in at least one case raped. Some were forced to perform certain sex acts they had declined to do, or they would not be paid or allowed to leave.

Not to mention the harmful effects on those who watch this stuff.

And porn is actually protected under the First Amendment as free expression in the judicial branch's interpretation. They've ruled on it at least twice that I know of.

The same judicial branch that claims abortion is protected under the right to privacy? Who cares what they have to say about anything?

Anyone capable of critical thought can see that porn is not expression. It's human trafficking and exploitation.
