How is porn criminalized? If anything, it's the opposite.
Pornstars are heroes for kids nowadays, we should be trying to avoid kids getting their sex education from PornHub, not favor even more exposure.
- DoreenMichele 7y agoI didn't say porn was being criminalized. Just curious, can you give me a list of good resources for sex education?
- burgerzzz 7y agoHow much education do you really need for safe sex?
- DoreenMichele 7y agoI was molested for a few years as a child. I ended up suicidal and frigid. I spent a year in therapy in my teens and 2.5 years in my twenties. I read stacks of research-based books to educate myself. It took me decades to learn to have sex safely without being some man's victim.
- CryptoBanker 7y agoMore education is never a bad thing. Especially in a topic this important
- crowbahr 7y agoMore than the public school system provides in things like abstinence only states. Knowing how birth control works is important. Knowing how STDs are transmitted: also important. Knowing that you can, in fact, get pregnant even when the girl is on top: important. These are things not understood by children who go through the public school systems in some of the less liberal states.
- nkkollaw 7y agoI can't, I'm 37 with no kids. I can tell you that PornHub isn't one of them, though.
- DoreenMichele 7y agoEverything I've ever read indicates that the widespread and ready availability of porn serves as excellent sex education. It is considered to be responsible for the end of the "That's not my bellybutton!" type joke levels of lack of basic knowledge of how sex even works at all. Its availability also has been shown to reduce the incidence of sexual assault. There are certainly downsides. For example, it can lead to various unrealistic expectations concerning looks and predilections of a partner. But my understanding of life, the universe and everything is that porn serves to fill a much needed role in basic sex education that we have yet to find another way to fill. Furthermore, comments here suggest that bringing back NSFW Tumblr will be different from actual commercial porn. The manner in which it is likely to be different is likely to be a positive antidote to some of the problems porn does have. NSFW Tumblr is likely to be ordinary people expressing themselves without looking or acting like porn stars. It is much more likely to provide realistic expectations for what a partner is likely to look like, as well as serve as a space for personal exploration for sexual expression.
- nkkollaw 7y agoEverything I've read points to kids thinking that sex is not sex without a facial, gangbangs are normal, and women are objects. I got particularly sad when I read about that Australian 16-year-old that has to shit in a bag for the rest of her life because she and her friends wanted to re-enact a rought-sex gangbang they saw on PornHub. I also don't think porn explains what and where a clitoris is, or maybe we're watching different kinds of porn.

- toper-centage 7y agoMaybe not criminalised per se, but for instance the UK has been restricting porn access, blocking certain websites. And with the new Porn ID, they want to further ban certain sex practices in porn.
- nkkollaw 7y agoAlright, but that's in the UK. In Muslim countries it's illegal.
