    I don't think protecting porn online is a vote winner because even if the porn gets taken away people will imagine that they'll still be able to access it quietly on the dark parts of the internet.

    People won't actually believe that it would be restricted until it is.

    Open up pornhub, click a video. Starts to play.

    I can't be the only paypig farmer whose posted thirst bait with fomo captions like project 2025 is going to make THESE illegal and it's like the same 5 year old photo of my shit midrange tits I've been posting on twitter since day 1.

    Among men ages 18-29, 44% had watched porn within the past month. Among men ages 30-49, it was 57%.

    Side-track but isn't it interesting that it's higher in the 30+

    An explanation jumps to my mind.

      This surprises me, actually. I was under the impression that young people are having less sex than before, so I would have thought that that (along with the proliferation of smartphones) would lead to higher rates of porn consumption. But then again, maybe the high rates of congruent depression thanks to their grim present and even grimmer future has tanked their libidos so hard that they can't even muster up the energy to open up a PornHub tab doomscroll

        It could also be that there is more awareness of the problems with chronic masturbation/porn consumption as they grew up aware of issues like incels

      They'll have their own special exclusive rich asshole exceptions of contraband and part of what they get off to is being too special for the law to reach. didnt-kill-himself

    Lots of Project 2025 ghouls also watch porn. Banning something often makes it still available but more exclusive and ghouls really like access to exclusive things.

    The PAC's website (which does seem to be SFW although it has the word PORN written in large font all over), since it wasn't linked to in the article:
