Re: Sexuality Education
Then look to Sweden, Norway, Germany, etc.
They do make some pretty good porn, don't they?

Love your enemies!

Darwin Awards & Drought
I showed that as high as 50% of children between 12 and 25 are being affected to the point of dysfunction and addiction.
How high of a rate of damage would you tolerate before advocating for censorship?
Considering that they would be removing themselves from the gene-pool (Darwin Awards for all) and possibly result in a reduction of birth-rates I would consider this a good trend. The earth is overpopulated, which is why there is such antipathy to immigrants and refugees moving into "established" societies. This is also why wars start over resources, like in Syria, where people were driven from their farms by (global warming) drought (is western US next?).
Enjoy.

You have shown no such thing.
Message 41 and Message 52
After decades of study the evidence in the discipline turns up inconclusive.
I showed that as high as 50% of children between 12 and 25 are being affected to the point of dysfunction and addiction.

Considerably higher than your no-show.

You imply in the OP that porn is a bad thing. If you don't tell us what's bad about it, how can you blame me for speculating?

The actors and actresses who provide supernormal stimuli of surgically and cinematically perfected bodies, breasts and pricks of outlandish size and heroic stamina, and malignant portrayals of human sexuality as sadistic and exploitive, all impact cultural norms and make even harder the often awkward negotiation of human sexuality.
That might have been true in the past but from what I've seen of Internet porn, it's pretty ordinary.

Illegal. Yes. Just as internet porn can be if we choose to make it so.
If your drug store was allowing porn to be accessed by children, we would be up in arms, yet there it is on the net and parents do not seem to care.
Even when given the damage statistics.

"I am against censorship under any circumstances."
You doubt the statistic.
If true, would you still not act to help the 50%?
If you would not act for that many, how many would you need to see hurt before demanding action and censorship or controls?

P.S. The population will level off at 10 billion, which the earth can readily take care of, and then start to shrink. No need for panic.

Good Grief!

Re: porn is an incomplete experience

True that I spoke of the bad in internet porn. Nothing on coercion rolling viewers though.
The links given show quite well what harm internet porn in particular is bringing to our children.
Mental as well as physical dysfunction.
People do not seem to favor censorship but I see no other viable solution given all the conditions.
Note that other than education and parental blocking, no one is coming up with anything viable.

Re: Sexuality Education

Look again for the first time.
This following is what was given to me by another woman.
'Monster Cock Destroys Slut Pu**y'
'(name) Loves Getting Her Pu**y Beaten Up'
'Sperm Swallowing Slut Wife Railed Hard'
'Nasty Ebony Public Slut get Cocks'
'Teen Slut on a Leash Gets C*m Drenched'
Notice a pattern in how women are spoken of? See how a common theme is the penis as a weapon against the women? Type 'whore', 'slut', 'bitch', 'c**t' or any racialised term with the word porn and/or some word denoting some kind of abuse, see what comes up and then come back and tell us it's only a 'healthy expression of sexuality'.

This is not what porn was in the good old days and the addictive aspects tells me we need to not treat it like the good old days.

Just trying to dither out why you would be so dead set on not doing the right thing for our children.
If you have no high harm limit, then you are not much of a man.

Curiously, IF there is no need for panic THEN I don't have to be worried about porn "disenfranchising" some people from participation, do I? I can continue to worry that overpopulation coupled with global climate change will affect orders of magnitude more people.
As the saying goes "don't sweat the small stuff" ...

I am already doing the right thing for our children. I don't accept you as an authority on what the problem is or what needs to be done.
