It seems most people recognize that the proliferation of easily-available porn has been a detriment to society, but short of blocking it there has been no proposals for rectifying the situation. IMHO society seems to have just shrugged its collective shoulders about it, especially about kids watching porn and the greater availability of it.
I guess we should get used to a future where porn is freely available to everyone, at every age, because it doesn't appear to be slowing down.
- Eisenstein 4y ago> It seems most people recognize that the proliferation of easily-available porn has been a detriment to society I have not heard of this consensus. Where can I find out about it?
- Simulacra 4y agoDo you think porn has been good for society?
- Eisenstein 4y agoIn some ways.
- loeg 4y agoI certainly don't think it has been a detriment, which was your original claimed consensus viewpoint. (You have since moved the goalposts).
- int_19h 4y agoProbably. I suspect that quite a few people who in the past would satisfy their urges via actual physical sexual abuse find porn "good enough" to not bother, for one. Also, the average age at which teens first have sex has been rising steadily, which translates to fewer teen pregnancies etc.
