True. Pornography can lead to desensitization. But we live in a desensitized world. If a doctor’s priority is to euthanize a healthy depressed patient (16 thousand patients were euthanized in Canada alone in 2024) instead of trying to help him by offering a good book to read or a glass of whiskey, not to mention decocking 10 year old kids cause they believe they’re in a wrong body, then pornography seems to be the least of our problems.

They are tied together, along with a bunch of other diseased notions.

An awful lot of the trans madness is actually fueled by porn from what I've read. Also, Okeefe did an undercover thing a while back where an executive at pornhub (or somewhere similar) admitted to pushing the deviant stuff on people that weren't even looking for it.

Porn addiction seems to be at the root of autogynophilia—heterosexual men who imagine themselves as women (and lesbians) often to the extreme of becoming “trans women”.

Jennie Corsi's avatar

It’s central to some of those problems though.

Boo there’s always some idiot excusing pornographers, usually a feminist.

The article on this subject that I have been waiting for! I worked in youth mental health. Pornography was widely used, and at the epicentre of problems involving sexual violence and coercion, body shaming, bullying and rape culture.

As is the case with nearly all of America's problems today, we can thank our Supreme Court for unleashing mass porn on Americans of all ages. It began the "job" as far back as the 1950s, in so many words ruling that pornography is protected by the Ist Amendment, arguing that nobody could really define it any way. Justice "Whizzer" White sarcastically dissented by saying "I may not be able to define it, but I know it when I see it." So does everybody else.

And how would you expect the Supreme Court to enforce a ban prohibiting porn on all platforms today?

50 years ago it was much easier to jail and fine creators of the garbage.

But today? How are you going to enforce an internet ban with multiple world platforms available to distribute the hardcore smut?

The SC was right in the 1950’s.

Steve's avatar

The same way our government enforced a ban on criticism of Covid regulations. As did the rest of our so-called democracies.

Uriah’s Wife's avatar

Yeah?

How are you going to enforce a ban on Greece’s or Italy streaming of porn to US? There will always be sources that will stream this stuff to anyone who has a computer or smartphone.

Your ban would not be taken seriously. It would be easily evaded.

Steve's avatar

Same way Europe bans American non-porn that it doesn't like.

Steve's avatar

What porn company do yu work for?

Maggie's avatar

I knew that the internet would lead to evil

Jennie Corsi's avatar

Porn became popular before the internet.

Added to this, the extent to which pornography destroys marriages. (Speaking from experience).

Camile Paglia and Richard reed cover this stuff in better detail

Steve's avatar

You did not answer my question. You could have just stated that you don't work for a porno company but you didn't. I am not going to respond to any more of your comments.

Is this written with AI? How about if porn is such a serious topic you use your own brain to write about it rather than outsourcing your thinking to a computer?

Marcus Aurelius 99!'s avatar

Why would you think it was? I asked the AI if that article was written with AI and it didn't think so.

I didn't think it was. In those other guys' defense we can all get a little paranoid about trying to spot the AI anymore. I'm like that with AI narration on YouTube videos. I believe I might have falsely accused a less expressive narrator of being AI before. lol

Why didn't they delete True Settler's then? What characteristics are you seeing that make you sure it was written with AI?

Marcus Aurelius 99!'s avatar

Not saying I disagree with you. I'm no authority on it. I just wonder what you guys are seeing?

I think porn is a convenient boogeyman at times. It's almost like saying gambling and social drinking will destroy a marriage just because there are addicts.

Yes, there is some disgusting and unhealthy stuff out there. Absolutely. And no, it's not something I recommend looking at alone. But if married couples can use it (or what I would call light erotica) to provide a spark, I think it's fine. Just have some guidelines and don't overindulge.

Porn is often a coping device for lack of intimacy and for one spouse not pursuing and prioritizing the other. Spouses need to stop keeping secrets and be honest with each other.

Masha Insights's avatar

Maybe porn isn't the problem.

Every addict wants to quit.

But they can't.

Because they're focusing on the wrong thing.

Check this out.

For years, Ayaan Hirsi Ali built a career by attacking Muslim societies, mocking their values, and selling herself to Western audiences as the “native witness” who could justify every lecture, invasion of culture, and campaign of Islamophobia. She stood with the same secular elite circles that celebrated pornography as freedom, vulgarity as art, family breakdown as progress, and the corrosion of faith as enlightenment. The West exported drugs, hyper-sexualized entertainment, moral emptiness, and low-frequency cultural decay into Muslim countries for decades—through media, music, fashion, and political pressure. Now suddenly, when those poisons have consumed their own societies, we are told pornography is dangerous. What hypocrisy. What shameless revisionism.

Hirsi Ali can wear the mask of European conservatism all she wants, but she remains what she always was: a political dissident weaponized against her own civilizational roots. She was useful when condemning Islam, useful when portraying Muslim cultures as backward, useful when validating empire’s talking points. But now that Western societies face spiritual collapse, loneliness, addiction, and demographic decay, the same people who preached liberation now cry for morality. Where was this concern when these same values were pushed onto Africa, the Middle East, and Muslim youth worldwide? If pornography is poison today, then who were its merchants yesterday? If moral collapse is real now, who normalized it then? The answer is obvious.

I have heard it said that "Pornography, is the Devil's Iconography."

I think that pornography is a symptom, but only that. Look at Rococo art. Look at Renaissance art. It's full of deliberately, very public, pornography. Most kids caught sight of Botticelli's "Birth of Venus" long before puberty.

I'm part of the first generation to be born into a world with the contraceptive pill. Prior to the arrival of this pharmaceutical, "Sex" was about reproduction. Sure, everyone had sex for pleasure, but that's not where it sat culturally for the majority. Even glamorous starlets such as Elizabeth Taylor and Joan Collins confessed that their earlier marriages occurred because of the social constraints regarding sex. In a later era they wouldn't have taken that step.

The contraceptive pill turned sex into a recreational activity in the public mind. It's no accident that the invention also coincided with the decriminalisation of homosexuality across The West.

Yet again, Big Pharma did its best to dismantle the natural for profit... with wholly foreseeable consequences. Even at the time, "The Permissive Society", was a phrase coined to describe what others called "Free Love".

Don't get me wrong. I love what the pill has allowed us to experience. However, to attribute today's ills to "pornography" is to not see the wood for the trees.

It causes the sexually addicted to have more and more trouble achieving satisfying relationships. they constantly crave novelty. This leads to more and more extreme deviation from a loving monogamous relationship.
