Is internet porn ruining our next generation? Is censorship the answer?

I can say that porn probably impacted me in a negative way growing up. The shit I find myself looking at in the deepest nooks of the internet concerns me (all legal i promise... just strange). Is censorship the answer??? **** NO! GIMME MAH HENTAI AND MAH 3 GURL POV BJ!

If negative to you and you do not like censorship, which I do not like either, how would you suggest we prevent people like you from being negatively impacted by porn?

If you watch too much porn, you're subject to being terrible at sex (i.e. not being able to stay hard).

That is just one of the problems they have shown. Even getting there is a problem.

I don't think censorship is ever the answer. You end up with the same pitfalls as prohibition.

Watching porn can turn into an addiction. And when it does, it has the potential to ruin your sexuality and your ability to have a healthy relationship in the long-term.

Censorship and Awareness - both can be useful in tackling porn addiction.

Anything can be an addiction, assuming a lack of moderation. Any functioning, normal human being can watch porn without becoming addicted to it. If you're watching porn and you find that you can't stop, it's likely you've always been sexually frustrated or crazed and since you just can't get any you seek other routes to... relieve yourself, I guess.

It can be argued that Porn is adding to the factor for declining Birth rates at least in the more Modern or Progressive Cultures. Like look at Europe where some places have an almost Zero % birth rate.

Thing is..it's not always a fantasy played out by actors. The age of the porn star is over. What is in now? Amateur porn. Not porn stars, but real people posting videos of themselves online. Not for profit and the videos don't look professional. But you see real people. I prefer those videos to the other porn, it's nice to see real women instead of woman with double D **** and men with 10 inch long hard ons.

Here is my thing: I don't even know how porn stars still make money. Those amateur videos I talked about you can get for free from a multitude of sites. You can even get normal porn for free from sites. So who the hell is paying for porn?

Sexuality and morality are intertwined with emotions to create a confusing definition of what's right and wrong sexually that changes from individual to individual. One thing we can be sure of is that adults that are in sexual relationships with little children or purposely exposing children to sexually explicit material that they are physically, mentally, and emotionally unequipped to digest are guilty of an immoral crime against humanity at the least.

Neglect in all forms is far more pervasive than ever before and in my opinion facebook is more dangerous than porn to the next generation. Parents, usually mothers, are more attentive to their phone than their kids. I still don't carry a personal phone, and somehow my life goes on. I've also never received a text on my personal phone while in the middle of talking with my kids about whatever outside of the house. Inside the house is where I talk on the phone. Outside I talk to other humans directly. The disappearance of that habit is what is deteriorating societies morality most rapidly. People are detached from others more so than ever before.

Then you discover that the new 45 minute movie that has exactly what you're looking for for 75.99! I'm satisfied with the free stuff but I used to buy it when the internet was dial-up.

Not likely. Just like any other movie, that shit's bound to have been leaked somewhere

I do not like censorship either but recognize that it can have value depending on the harm allowed to happen if something is not censored or prohibited.

Imagine though what would happen if we removed the censorship and prohibitions on dynamite.

If porn damage grows, we might have to censor it. We seem to be dealing with the harm so far but our addiction even to cell phones is growing and those in the know are suggesting we be careful in what we are doing to ourselves.

Porn can be a problem for some just like booze, drugs, tobacco, sex, shopping, cleaning, etc. etc. etc. Censorship is NEVER the answer

But that's a good thing

Not for the economy.
