Isn’t it the same authoritarians who want to jail people for drugs and pornography? And while I wouldn’t want to disparage the Amish, aren’t those authoritarian urges largely rooted in Christian theocratic doctrine?
imagine if cocaine was as freely available as pornography. Is that the type of world you'd like to live in, to raise your kids in?
and for the record, I think cocaine can be wonderful.
You’re not going to jail them? How about for a fifth offense? A six-hundredth offense?
You can’t propose regulation without enforcement.
Regulating porn is regulating sex. It’s been tried. Heck, look at Indonesia today. It’s adorably naive. It is much less practical than regulating drugs because literally every person on earth who has genitals and a cell phone can be a supplier.

> Or, to change the angle, tell me about your proposed porn regulations and what happens to people who just cheerfully go on filming themselves fucking and ignore the regulations?
I haven't proposed any porn regulations whatsover... You seem to be confusing me with someone else.
Well, that's embarrassing and I apologize.

Yes, to the extent being cited for an single infraction will stop horny people from filming themselves having sex and sharing the video, that is very relevant.
However, most (all?) jurisdictions treat repeated infractions as misdemeanors. When it comes to the hypothetical of "regulating" porn, there are two possible outcomes: 1) porn producers who ignore infractions and any resulting fine are not prosecuted, and the regulation is meaningless, or 2) punishments for repeatedly ignoring the regulation are severe enough to deter repeat offense.
I just don't see how you get (2) without jail. Therefore, I stand by the assertion that any regulation of porn that is going to be effective is going to have to be prepared to jail people.
Well, it is. Place your order on whatsapp or telegram, and it's delivered to your door by envelope. You should really get with the times.
Overindulgence, dissolution, and complete shift towards hedonism and away from eudaimonia. Those two should be balanced.
Why would anyone under 18 buy pornography?
When I was under 18, more porn magazines were found and salvaged than bought at a newsstand. Quality over quantity.
The child comment states that; actually, the people complaining tend to be the same people. So they're consistent.
Which actually jives with my understanding. People that are fine with Porn are usually fine with other little rushes', in so far as they aren't harmful outside of themselves.
Gambling without the poverty is: fine.
Enjoying food without the health complications: also fine.
