Agreed, if anything itā€™s only getting bigger and more accepting globally. However, it now seems to be more age regulated which is appreciated considering how many kids have access to the internet now. Either way, is it healthy for the brain? I think we all know it isnā€™t.

Should it be banned? I donā€™t think so, adults should be able to manage their own life and capabilities.

Banning it would be stupid. There are plenty of reputable studies out there that have found a positive correlation between the subjectsā€™ p0rn viewing and their overall well-being. Even if there wasnā€™t a positive correlation, I still wouldnā€™t want it to be banned. Regulated, yes, in order to protect people from being exploited.

Iā€™m very much pro-choice when it comes to ethical and moral issues. Iā€™m also in favour of same-sex marriage, the right to an abortion, euthanasia, and the right to gender-affirming surgery. These things have all been realized in my country ages ago. Watching these other countries debate it, is like looking back at my country 30 years ago.

Anyone taking a position on anything would be charged with bias if that was the case. But it is grounds to check their studies/sources)

Ad hominem
This is a fallacy in which a claim is rejected on the basis of an aspect of someone's character, identity, motivations, or even the relationships they have with others.

Come on, an anti porn group is only going to present anti-porn studies/stats in the same way as everything presented by the anti-abortion people will only convince others that abortion is evil.

The whole premise that porn causes violence is as wrong as saying violence depicted in movies causes violence.

The only way for the point to be made is for all violent crimes against women to be collated and then to look at how many of those offences were committed because of porn. My money would be on 0.

There is no excuse at all for anyone to be violent - ever.

I donā€™t know what the purpose of your edit is so I canā€™t comment on that part.

Every person/organization taking a side in a debate would be expected to present studies, cite sources etc that support their argument- whether for or against anything, I cant imagine them doing anything but.

Presenting facts that support a premise to arrive at a conclusion is expected. The fact anyone is pro or against anything isnt proof they are biased or more importantly- wrong. The claim of bias couldnt be raised legitimately unless for example they funded a particular study they cite,

My particular argument is this-since its proven that porn is harmful, and there is a lot of evidence to that. The real question is how harmful, and who does it harm, and what kind of harm is caused.

If any harm can be proven to some degree (and it has been) then criminal sanction could be justified, because criminal sanction is used precisely to prevent or punish those doing harm to others.

It would be interesting to see any independent studies showing the number of cases of violence against women being attributed to watching porn which at trial would likely (if the argument is accepted) provide a defence/mitigation on the basis of diminished responsibility or insanity. The only published examples I recall of people arguing ā€œporn made me do itā€ involved offenders who had mental illnesses.


Maybe we could do a real study here. Before I get on to that though, all the staff of the Adult,, Sex, and Gay rooms are exposed to pornographic material daily. I could be wrong but I donā€™t think itā€™s done anything to our brains.

Everyone, I think we should do a study:

Have you/do you watch porn? Has it caused you to be violent towards anyone?

Iā€™ll go first:

Yes I see a lot of pornographic material in Gay Chat.

Yes Iā€™ve watched porn.

No Iā€™ve never been violent towards a woman. Other than defending myself, Iā€™ve never been violent towards anyone else



This is what I was thinking too. Itā€™s a given that the question posed is ā€œshould regulated porn be illegal?ā€ since itā€™s not asking about the types of porn that are already illegal

nothing ive said is intended to pertain to any chatroom on site. (OP said porn in relation to legality only)

If you reject anecdotal accounts by one side you cant use the same for it in opposition. Im also thinking seeing porn as part of a "job" isnt the same thing as being addicted to it or using it for gratification.

It makes no difference whether things that have never been shown to increase violence against women (like weed, cigarettes, sugar and candy should be or are "regulated" . (With the exception of alcohol. ) the pot reference was a bit far fetched and no study has ever shown it causes violence.

ā€œshould regulated porn be illegal?

Canada is trying to regulate pornhub . Because its not regulated. That is the porn OP meant ( I assume) which is not currently illegal in Canada.

Right now minors can access the porn people want to stay legal:

I made no such argument, I did argue there is a correlation and showed several examples of studies proving that correlation.

Court case re sentencing Jeffrey Dahmer is one case (although not directed at women )

"Because of Porn" again you challenge causation, but these cases show correlation and argueably causation .

Consider this criminologist "Violent porn can be ā€œa facilitator for one person, while having no effect on others," a 2017 Psychology Today article citing research by criminologist Eric Hickey states. "Still, the fact the certain serial murderers have insisted that pornography was a major factor in their killing young women and children cannot be ignored.'"
