    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.

      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.

          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.

        Your question is so off I advise you do research and meditate on your question.

        You do realize that you’re asking something that is so far off from reality and what it means to a human being.

          What a gaslight!

          Your question is so off I advise you do research and meditate on your question.

          @SugarApplePie literally repeats your own line back to yourself asking you to expand and suddenly it’s his question that is off.

          When you respond like this it becomes apparent that you simply don’t know the answer. You reveal yourself.

          You do realize that you’re asking something that is so far off from reality and what it means to a human being.

          All you’ve accomplished here is condescension. Clearly he doesn’t realize or he wouldn’t have asked. It’s also clearly not a rare opinion judging by your initial post so why the pretense that he should already know?

          I have to assume you’re just a troll because no rational person would respond like this.

            Like, all I wanted to know was if they meant more of a “the meaning of sex is having children” angle or a more spiritual “the meaning of sex is to develop a deep connection with someone” or some third thing I hadn’t even considered. I was looking forward to a conversation about it because of all the reasons to ban porn I’ve heard, “it destroys the meaning of sex” is not one I’ve encountered before. Ah well. The friendliness of this community made me forget we’re on the internet for a second I guess lol

          Gotta be honest, I expected a better and more thought-provoking answer than what is basically the same shit bigoted nuts throw when someone asks why they have a problem with queer people. With such incredible logic as

          porn is as bad as hard drugs (because it is)

          I can’t believe I didn’t immediately fully understand your genius. Next time save everyone the time and don’t bother replying if you have nothing to say.
