Except that porn only makes people more lustful and perverse. The more porn you watch the less you desire meaningful relationships, and the more you see people as sexual objects. It's bad in numerous other verifiable ways as well.


Sex is natural. I can't think of anyone I know that is not a result of sex. I think your argument lacks nuance...


Sex is natural. Porn is not natural.


Proof? Pornographic images have a very long history. Some are even in art museums.

Is it safe to assume that you haven't been "getting any"?
Sorry, but that is uncalled for.
Since when is asking if an assumption is safe "uncalled for"?

Purity culture is not healthy.

Next thing I know there is going to be shaming of the homosexuals.

Not quite what I meant. We can disagree with the assumption, but lets play the ball and not the person.

safe to assume you have a crippling porn addiction and your mad that people think porn should be banned for it's illegal history and the damage it can do to your mental heath just because your curios.

Of course!  Just as soon as he presents some logical arguments with valid data to back them up; then we can "play ball" your way.  Until then, I'm going to keep asking questions until he posts a reasonable answer that is not all wrapped up in archaic puritanical beliefs.

What's objectionable about people being lustful and perverse?

Why can't people just recognize their addiction? If your watching porn day in and day out it is a problem and a problem that faces a lot of teens. Teens can easily access these sites and get their addiction started. Easiest way is to ban it. No one needs it, it is not a necessity.

Religious people only live chastity because of fear of a man who died thousands of years ago sending them to a place that was made up in a book.
