I think pornography should be outlawed ( at least on video format)

[Tudo]

I'm super pro freedom, including almost total freedom of speech, abortion at six months, a lot of drugs, guns, but when it's about porn I think differently.I think porn as whole do not contribute to society, maybe it can diminish a little the number of rape, but not substantially I think, it creates a lot of problems like desensitization, emotional detachment, unrealistic expectations, arousal difficulties. Besides that, people will watch certain type of stuff and turn eager to do it in real life, what is ok, problem is that a lot of times their partners are not willing to take part on this, creating a lot of problems for their relationships.

People can get turned on by looking at content that others wouldn’t consider porn, so how could you completely outlaw porn? 

For example, I get turned on by

You can't stop porn. It's a utopian idea.

The need and demand for porn is real. If you dislike it, don't consume it.

Not even diminish substantially the amount of explicit porn online? Like taking down mots of these big porn websites?

Not my cup of tea. Explicit porn has 0 effect on me. A naked body is art to me but it wouldn’t turn me on

Yup. Not even.

You will have more success diminishing the amount of birds in the sky.

lol I always thought this could be possible since they remove most of pedophilia and pro terrorism content.

Maybe the only reasonable way to diminish pornography is by building a society that is more fulfilling for everyone, so less people will resort to porn, and protects vulnerable people, especially women, since a lot of them are forced into it in some way.

Yeah, there is a lot of ugly porn. Don't watch it.

But you cannot legislate taste in porn. In general, most people have poor taste.

Porn doesn’t do those things. People do those things. Changing the behaviour of folks by forcing them can only go so far. The way people can avoid these states is through conscious choice. Porn doesn’t do anything to us that we don’t do to ourselves.
