Porn should be illegal. It destroys the meaning of sex. Porn is packed with human trafficking and exploitation. Porn wrecks one's brain.
I pray that porn becomes illegal.
The fact that you use prayer for a social problem already tells me how wrecked your brain is.
while i don't necessarily disagree that porn can destroy the meaning of sex and wreck one's brain, i really would prefer the state stay out of my business. i think a better approach would be to provide education on how porn affects us and avenues to seek help should someone fall into an addiction. however, getting the state involved on what people can and cannot say is too much control for my comfort.
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.
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.
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.
