National Review: Getting Serious On Pornography

People have been saying that of video games, movies and even literature for generations.
It doesn't suddenly become impressive when porn is involved. Also anonymous source. Meh.

Yeah, they treat it as if these problems didn't exist until you could see the porn. As if unsafe sexual practice just suddenly became a problem. There have been school shootings in the America's since 1764, I would really like to know what video games those people were playing. Now that you can see how some people choose to express themselves in a closed and safe environment it's now a problem for you.

Not all porn made is safe, not all porn made is consensual. Regulation is the key, banning it makes it more enticing. The moment you forbid something you subconsciously make that thing more desirable. Look at what happened during prohibition.

Porn is illegal in Indonesia, but you will find groups of dudes randomly sharing the porn they have on their phones....that's weird to me. I mean weird. But it happens, because sex is natural. It feels good. And when you bottle neck a population into treating a natural behavior as wrong with the attempt to sexually repress people creates a dangerous environment. Africa is a continent (not country Sarah Palin) that I would deem as sexually repressed. And as a direct result in my opinion 7 out of 10 women have the chance of being either sexually assaulted or raped. Now porn isn't the only thing that in my view helps relieve sexual tension, a much more massive part is education. But saying something is evil and wrong doesn't do jack, in fact I think it does the opposite.

Right??
Although Porn has existed for a millennia, even explicit "seen" porn. In imagery, on statues and in literature. And the kinky stuff isn't new either. 120 days of Sodom is internet infamous for a reason. And that was written, what, during the 16 or 1700s?
But still, we've already survived countless generations and it's a problem all of a sudden because?...........

Watching porn is hardly immoral. You might have been embarrassed since lying to others is usually immoral.

It is immoral in the sense that I am seeking sexual pleasure from people other than the love of my life. I am not saying porn in of itself is immoral. I should have clarified but my point in that context still stands.

I think that Internet porn can be harmless and entertaining on occasion, but far more commonly it has the potential to cause problems, and wreak havoc on the minds of viewers. One problem is its accessibility. With the click of a mouse, and with no monetary cost, one can get access to unlimited, on-demand videos of sex acts, depicting almost any fetish imaginable. This is disconcerting to me, because it seems like it would have the potential to rapidly desensitize viewers to the mystique of sex. Additionally, porn completely removes the love aspect of intimacy by removing the most important aspect of sexuality, which is the physical connection with another human being. The last time I visited a pornographic site, the number one thing that I noticed was the sheer number of videos available, and how much time could be consumed (and ultimately wasted) by watching all of these videos, so I left the website, and decided to rarely, if ever, visit such websites again. What is the solution? I am not sure. I'm not advocating for government regulation of pornography, as I think it falls under freedom of expression. Yet, the abundance and easy accessibility of unlimited, free porn on the Internet is concerning to me. At the very least, awareness should be raised about its negative potential.

The solution is to masturbate harder.
