  • It should be regulated.

  • Porn exploits everyone while also degrading everyone. It isn't a gender specific problem. That being said porn gives people very unrealistic expectations about intimacy and in many cases can lead to permanent problems

  • It employs many women who would otherwise just prostitute.

  • Porn is shot with the full consent of the female actress involved

  • Fuck no!!
    What about all the men that are objectified, exploited AND paid a LOT less than the women?

  • Yes!

  • No not at all

  • Legal pornography no

  • It should be wiped off the internet. If perverts want to watch the garbage, they can buy a DVD if they are really that weak.

    • Ouch.

  • No, but prostitution should be banned, including paying people to do porn.
    Nudity and sex is normal, wanting to see nudity and sex is normal, but sex/nudity and money should not mix.

    • Basically, if a person decides to show themselves naked, or have sex or masturbate on camera, you have no right to stop or punish them. But if they charge money for doing so, or pay someone else to do so, they are devaluing love, and they should be forced to refund all customers and demonetize their sexual activities.

  • I am for banning, but I see it as something that exploits men.

  • Yes some of it absolutely does objectify women as some of it all subjectifies men. It depends upon the genre actors studio and all that other stuff. Among the earliest visual images created by our ancestors The sympathetic magic of capturing the hunt and their quarry is the most popular image. The next most popular is essentially pornography for fertility rites. We are slaves to our eyes and our ears in regard to pornography. It's a built-in response and I'm afraid that's never going to change. I also am of the opinion when trying to legislate vices like drugs alcohol tobacco whenography etc that it's a losing proposition. It can't be done. It will just move underground.

  • I don't think it does anyone favors so I do think it should be banned. However each user needs help in transitioning from it.

  • I think if we think as people porn should be banned and not guns and all weapons in the world for that matter then we have to start thinking harder to what is detrimental to society.

    • My point is if we're banning porn what else gets banned?

  • It shouldn't be banned, the government does not have the right. I do agree it's bad and morally effects the youth greatly

  • it also objectifies and exploits men, albeit in a smaller way probably, but still... Women can also have a skewed view of the world, because of pornography. At the end of the day though, it should be everyone's personal responsibility to divide porn from reality. That being said, porn sites should be able to verify ages better, rather than just have a box with a button saying "Yes i am 18 years old". Watching porn from a young age absolutely has a negative effect.

  • Shouldn't be banned but more restriction on it!

  • you think that would make it go away?

  • I have no problem with professional pornstars although I think they should be sterilized. OnlyFans should be banned, but hopefully AI will put all those thots out of work.

  • It should be shunned and those trafficking children or using coercion to have people do it should be burned at the stake, but if consenting adults want to perform and other consenting adults want to consume that is not my business.
