What is so bad about adults consuming porn? Is it addictive like recreational drugs? Does it lead to delusional thinking like television?
- hollerith 3y agoThere are porn addicts, and there are men with delusional thinking about women because of porn.
- ickelbawd 3y agoThere are also men with delusional thinking about women because of the bible. Lets ban that too.
- nunez 3y agoThere are alcohol addicts, and there are people with delusional thinking about life because of alcohol. There are sports addicts, and there are people with delusional thinking about life because of sports. There are gaming addicts, and there are people with delusional thinking about life because of gaming. Should we ban or severely restrict alcohol, sports and games?
- kelseyfrog 3y agoThe comparison to alcohol weakens the argument. Alcohol is much more restricted. Retailers are compelled to check for ID, one-quarter of the United States population lives in control states[1], the three tier system is enforced[2], and none states have dry counties. If porn were to have the same restrictions, we would have mandatory ID checks, in some states, the state government or contracted organizations would be the sole distributor of porn, and some counties would ban the retail of porn completely. There's simply better comparisons than to alcohol. 1. States with ABC stores. 2. In every state except Washington
- nunez 3y agoIt does and it doesn't. There are mountains and mountains of evidence documenting the harms that drinking at young ages (and in general) introduces. "Evidence" suggesting that porn gives men "delusional thinking" about women is dubious at best. Evidence documenting that men's delusions about women are primarily fomented by viewing porn under 18 is even more scant.
