Boys under-18 being exposed to pornographic material is the most unspoken problem in our society & we got adult girls here profiting off of that.
Unbelievable.
I don't know why this isn't getting the attention that it should.
We are witnessing pedophilic adult females groom young boys & getting paid for it.
Something's not right when we permit these things.
None of this works, it's functionally removed from the fact people will want to do it and the fact people will want to consume it. All of this only serves to push the content to a black market instead.
The correct approach is to understand that none of this is a problem that can be solved with prohibition and that it is far easier to soften the damage it does with strict regulation and control rather than prohibition which will just push it to an unregulated black market.
Regulated porn, control it 100x better than it currently is, do real age verifications, protect workers better. Then spend time and effort in society on the environmental issues that make porn such a problematic thing.
There needs to be a transition from a heavily problematic dodgy industry into an industry that's barely even wanted anymore by wider society. Complete prohibition isn't going to make it go away and it certainly isn't going to solve any problems for those working in the industry who will inevitably still have the same conditions in their lives that led them to working in it in the first place, they'll continue that work in the black market industry you create.
Porn, even without capitalist exploitation, can be harmful to how adolescents view sexual relationships and acts. I don't think there's a solution that can have success without quality, accessible education about sex being available from the early onset of puberty.
Sure. Regulating adolescent access should happen too. Requiring real age verification via credit card used to be common practice in the earlier internet until the entire industry switched to a simple "Are you over 18?" and literally nobody called them out for it.
I don't necessarily think "porn can be harmful to how adolescents view sexual acts" is a completed thought either though. Porn as is currently common is, porn with healthier perspectives on relationships however may be quite different. The issue I think is that porn currently just depicts a gratuitous sex act with no before/after and no concept of how that fits into a healthy relationship, this teaches children a very unhealthy perspective of the act. Not to mention the vast majority being deeply degrading to the women pictured. That's not to say that I think degradation porn shouldn't be a thing either though, people will still want it and have that kink for a long time until we identify the environmental factors creating it, but we should require kink-porn to have a healthy perspective of how that fits into a mutually trusting bdsm relationship.
Porn needs a ratings and regulatory board just like movies have but for the content of the porn itself.
