Uuuggghhhh, my aching head....

 

Heterosexuality spreads AIDS too, but that's no reason to ban it.

sex in marriage has purpose and that is to make babies

 

gay sex does not make babies. it is disgusting and should be banned.

No, and not because I'm a man and not because I watch it, but simply because its a business practice that harms no one. I guess it could hurt a minor (by getting a "boys" hopes up that all females are nympho's, and I guess it could hurt a "girl" making her think all men are hung like mules) but seriously as an adult you try to make sure your kids don't get a hold of pornographic materials but if a "teen" tries hard enough they will see it...plus...think of the economic benefits from it...I mean its a multi billion dollar industry.

I am glad you narrowed down your definition and timeline.  Porn was produced and distributed almost as soon as a medium became availible to do so.  This includes magazines with mass publication and distribution beginning in the 1870s.  The French ruled this initial push.

 

Would you like to pay me in real monies or in game monies?

 

I can attest to this. Pornography is one of the oldest entertainment in the world. Way earlier than country music. Even the Ancient Egyptians and Greeks had porn. Ancient Greeks had a lot of porn and erotica. We only know of one Ancient Egyptian porn so far, since their porn are written on papyrus and those don't last long. Let's not talk about the Romans.

If we ban it then we do not take away the demand for it.

 

If you want pornography gone, the best thing to do is to social engineer people away from it. It can't thrive if there is no demand.

Contention 1: Porn Reduces Crime

"The bottom line on these experiments is, "More Net access [Porn], less rape." A 10 percent increase in Net access yields about a 7.3 percent decrease in reported rapes." [1]


We can see in this first hand case that as people gain more access to porn there is less rape and sexual offense crimes. This is a key factor in this debate as we see that if Porn does anything it keeps our hormones in check by masterbation to God knows whatever the user is wanting to watch and in turn it ensures that they are less likely to go out and rape said "type."

"Results from the Czech Republic showed, as seen everywhere else studied (Canada, Croatia, Denmark, Germany, Finland, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Sweden, USA), that rape and other sex crimes have not increased following the legalization and wide availability of pornography. In addition, the study found that the incidence of child sex abuse has fallen since 1989, when child pornography became readily accessible -- a phenomenon also seen in Denmark and Japan." [2]

Adding to the above point we can still see that in application in other areas that once again we can see that in valid areas and application that child sexual abuse has decreased so not only are we seeing a drop in rape, but also child abuse.

"the incidence of rape in the United States has declined 85% in the past 25 years while access to pornography has become freely available to teenagers and adults." [3]

Praise God that, once again, rape is dropping here in the US and when we ask the question as to why it's porn. We can see that this is key to get out as it leads to an 85% drop in rape. The Disaster Center found that the states with the lowest porn watching ratings have at rape ratio of 53% per Capita increase in rape while for the four highest porn watching ratio found a 27% decrease in rape. [4] Let's face it guys. The evidence shows that porn lowers rape.

Contention 2: Free Speech

The first Amendment-"protects the right to freedom of religion and freedom of expression from government interference. "

"Despite popular misunderstanding the right to freedom of the press guaranteed by the first amendment is not very different from the right to freedom of speech. It allows an individual to express themselves through publication and dissemination." [7]

 

The internet counts as a dissemination. [8] Thus we can see that it would be unConstitutional for the US to ban pornography under the grounds of it would be a violation of our free speech and freedom of the press.

 

Contention 3: Economy

 

"The statistics are truly staggering. According to compiled numbers from respected news and research organizations, every second $3,075.64 is being spent on pornography." [5]
 

By God look at that power surge. It's no wounder that the porn industry is the most profitable at $14 billion per year. Researchers have done an estimate and they have found that banning this industry would be devestating and shrink our economy by $10 Billion! [6]

Britain does have stricter laws regarding things related to pornography, so I wouldn't doubt it.

 

 

If porn viewership and masturbation are so necessary to good health, then how did men of the past not suffer from all these "infections" and such that you mention? I am certainly not denying these studies have found benefit in such practices, but I am very skeptical of your claim that it is unhealthy not to do so. Or at least not nearly to the extent that you would have it seem. I also just turned 18 and have never done that before, and I don't suffer from any strange infections or symptoms, nor am I sexually "aggressive" in any way. I don't think those things are necessary in any sense of the word.

 

As for the second part, I am speaking quite honestly when I say I have not. I'm open-minded when it comes to what other people do - generally I don't care - but I am very strict about what I allow myself to do, and that is one of my personal taboos. Similarly, the only time I have verbally uttered any swear word was when I saw the f-word scratched on a bathroom stall in third grade, and asked what it meant when I got home. Simply because things like pornography - or swearing, masturbating, trying pot, whatever -  are commonplace does not mean they are universal habits.

 

Edit: In case that seemed rather pointless, what I'm trying to indicate is that things like pornography aren't simply natural and necessary for reproductive health. While they are common, there are plenty of people who do not view/practice those things and are not in any unhealthy condition, not to mention that the majority of people in the world don't have access to pornography and similarly lack any reason to masturbate. Pornography is much more well known for producing sex and porn addictions and for causing significant friction in established relationships and families than it is for producing any effects that are more beneficial than not watching it. Once again, I don't think it is anything within the rightful jurisdiction of the government - but to say that it is beneficial is highly misleading, because in fact it can become a very addictive and problematic habit.

 

Ok, this entire argument seems kind of dumb, but I have to comment here. Pornography and masturbation are two different things. You don't need to watch porn, or even be sexually active, to masturbate. Masturbation is simply the physical stimulation of your genital parts, which doesn't even require hands. In further argument, it is common place for most primates to masturbate, and even children/babies to an extent. Masturbation isn't a taboo act, it is completely natural. Repressing yourself from that seems stupid, but it is your choice, I honestly don't care. But saying that masturbation is similar to going out and smoking pot is ridiculous. 

 

In regard to the actual argument, I would like to mention that pornography does not objectify women. How do I know this? Because of porn that does not include women. The fact that you are talking about women objectification and religion in the same argument is actually hilarious. In the same arguments that have been brought up about porn, why do you think women were objectified far worse before the innovation of porn? Religion has done far more objectification than pornography does, and if you have the audacity to disagree, I would suggest that you read your Bible.

I don't think porn should be banned but I do think Ted Bundy is right on the issue of porn. People need to be careful
