For some of us sex is like food: we know what it is, when to use it and when to stop. However for many others sex is like drugs: it overrides their self-control

For some of us sex is like food: we know what it is, when to use it and when to stop. However for many others sex is like drugs: it overrides their self-control system and they become addicts. How do you make a law in this situation?

- standardUser 1y agoLaws don't solve those problems, as has been proven over the course of a hundred years in a hundred different nations. Only the most brutally repressive regimes can actually eradicate the types of sex and drugs they don't like. None of us want to live in that kind of society. So if eradication is impossible, and suppression has proven expensive, ineffective, and a constant assault on basic human rights, maybe we should try something else.

For some, food is like drugs: it overrides their self-control system and they become addicts. How do you make a law in that situation? Or is investing in Novo Nordisk across the North Sea good enough?
