As someone who’s watched a lot of porn, here are some trends that I’ve noticed over the past few years:
- An abundance of titles emphasizing step or non-blood family relationships.
- An increase in videos featuring the type of physical abuse alluded to in OP’s post.
- Increased artificiality in bodies, as in breast/ass augmentation, bodybuilder physiques, overdone makeup, and other features that look unnatural.
- Sex acts that look more animalistic in nature, with over-the-top vocalizations, uncomfortable positions, and needlessly aggressive action.
Videos of this nature have always been around, so I’m not sure if this is an actual increase in this type of content, or if algorithms are pushing it to the top, or some mixture of both. But none of this is natural, and it’s actually resulted in me watching less because it really does feel exploitative.
That being said, I would not be for any type of ban, or really any type of government interference. It would never work. Sexual morality isn’t something that can be controlled in that way. If people oppose porn content that glorifies abuse or exploitation, then let the public figure out a way to cultivate a social paradigm where this is looked down on.
And if that doesn’t happen…well, everything is a pendulum. Wait it out. But porn will always exist. The only thing I can do is not give a click to the creators of that type of piggish shit.
I can think of a few things that do more to contribute to rape and degrading views of women than porn, which has existed as long as human civilization has:
- The actual rape that happens in almost every dynamic where authority is involved: manager/employee, student/teacher, coach/athlete, agent/client, in police custody, etc.
- The instances of actual rape, at best, not being investigated. At worst, the woman becomes subject to harassment, bullying, and smear campaigns
- The flood of right-wing manosphere propaganda in the YouTube algorithm demonizing feminism
- Gamergate
- Churches pushing purity culture
- Churches forcing women into quiet subservience that keeps them from speaking out against leaders and husbands
- Politicians passing anti-“DEI” legislation rolling back decades of progress in women’s rights
- Politicians passing legislation in some states to lower the age girls can get married
- The techno-fascist emphasis on birth rate
- That school board official sexually harassing an underage girl on camera and nobody in power giving a shit
- “Grab them by the pussy. When you’re a star, they let you do whatever you want.”
- Jeffrey Epstein
Banning porn would just mean that it would be produced only by criminals. So what we should do is first ban criminals and only then ban porn.
Surprisingly this is the safest time to be in porn. OnlyFans and others allow sex workers to set their own prices and control what they will and won’t do.
Even better. Make nothing illegal. Can’t have criminals if there is no laws to break
Good idea, lets ban laws!
There is already a darknet
Not to worry, I have a torch.
And you can ban porn off the internet to varying degrees of success, but the sneakernet is unstoppable.
That depends, would it work as well as our efforts of banning guns and drugs?
“Expressed greater intent to commit rape”
I would really like to know how they measured this. I get the feeling that the men being studied didn’t come out and state, “yes, I have a greater intent to rape” on a survey or something. The researchers must have been using something as a proxy for “intent to rape”.
I’d also like to see the stats for how many of the men have actually raped someone. For example, if 86% are rated as “more likely to rape” after watching porn, but 99.9% don’t rape anyone, then that would suggest there is no correlation between porn and rape.
Research reveals that all flavors of being a Conservative, perpetuate rape and degrading views of women. Can we ban their right to live and their ideology?
No.
/thread
If you want to live in a country that banned porn, feel free to move to People’s Republic of China.
(Or I guess Taliban-Controlled Afghanistan is also a good choice)
No, this isn’t Gilead
Porn, all porn…
How does gay porn perpetuate degrading views of women? 🤔
It would be funny if a poorly written law accidentally banned all straight porn. I’d laugh.
What about porn which doesn’t involve any women?
What about porn that involves only women?
What about porn that doesn’t involve anyone?
What about porn that doesn’t involve porn?
Too hot. Need to bad this one.
That said there are also alot of reports that are women who show interest in porn also enjoy physical abusive stuff (like choking and gaging
And you feel qualified to limit what consenting adults do in the privacy of their own home because???
Are they not allowed to?
No
This is the same as “but video games cause real world violence!”
It to mention that boat loads of women get off on porn themselves, great way to act as if pure moral women would never do such depraved things like watch anal porn. Fuck that shit
Stop posting religious propaganda, please
Stop posting religious propaganda, please
Looking at OPs username it doesn’t seem likely they will
Yeah, I’m not thinking banning porn will do a better job addressing that issue than actually educating the young men about how to have positive relationships with women.
No we should not.
