Ensuring children don't stumble on this stuff isn't happening.Where do you get that from, that I might have anything to throw doubt on something like that? I think you may have misunderstood my post, and derived from it the exact opposite of what I was saying. See again the portion from my post that you quoted, and indeed highlighted yourself with bold font. I agree that specific ills associated with porn are ...well, not good; and that such specifics need to be addressed, absolutely. And I particularly mentioned the impact on underage kids --- that I think you and I discussed in this thread some days back --- as one specific instance.
(Where I expect we disagree as far as that, although that was not part of my post, is what to do about that harm to kids. I'd suggest taking measures to: one, ensure as far as possible that these don't reach underage kids; and, two, build up their defenses to this sort of thing through better sex education, and indeed clear discussion about porn itself ---- by making clear to them that this is fiction, and just like seeing movie stars jump out of buildings might be fun (for some), but only an idiot jumps from tall buildings IRL, likewise porn also is fiction, to be enjoyed by adults who are so inclined, but strictly as fiction. ...You, on the other hand, clearly favor more draconian measures: I think you've actually suggested getting rid of porn altogether. And that's a measure I disagree with completely. (But again, that's separate from what you seem to have read into my post, and what you're talking about here.)
It's fiction? Comparing it with stars jumping out of buildings isn't like for like. Porn actors are having real sex.
Sure we should be proscribing porn.
