    I understand your POV but porn is as bad as hard drugs (because it is). We clearly can’t regulate it given how many children get sucked into it. So letting government block this isn’t the same as government overstepping into other spheres of freedom.

    Excessive freedom that hurts our species isn’t “freedom” but a hidden addictive trap that hurts us on a multi-generational level.

      As bad as hard drugs? Do you have any objective scientific evidence to support that claim? Or did the community of NoFap sell you that lie?

      I think everyone can agree excessive porn use is bad, but I don’t see the problem in people using it given they use it in moderation. Personally, I find the industry appalling, hence why I use my imagination. Though other people may find pleasure in watching porn and that’s completely fine – why not let them? Some couples use it for inspiration to spice things up, again, why not let them?

      Making it illegal would only worsen matters, because then they’re going to start browsing the dark web to find what they seek.

        Porn destroys families which in turn creates broken children that turn to drugs, including porn.

        Suicide rate is high with men and their depression is fraught with addictions including porn.

          You know what causes even more addiction to drugs than porn does? Fucking drugs do.

          You know what destroys orders of magnitude more families than porn? Surprise! It’s fucking drugs, again.

            Addiction requires a cage being attempted to be escaped. Porn and drugs are similar in the sense of trying to escape some sense of personal hardship. Both porn and drugs are an effect, not the cause.
