Pornography should be regulated

[Spedmallet]

... now before you jump on the 'every1 watches it shutup dumpass' train (or worse, the 'I'm 14 years old and fuck you' train), I want to remind you I'm not outright saying it should be banned, though personally I feel we'd be better off if society was entirely rid of it.

But I know realistically that is not possible, as outlawing it would only push it into the black market and subject the actors and actresses into worse and more degrading activities.

As is my point. Pornography permanently destroys the lives of the actors, scaring them for life. Many people act in pornography as a measure of desperation and are left with an irreversible mark on their own personal history, and on the internet to boot (or VHS tape if you're from the stone age.)

I feel as though it should be as regulated as a firearm or weapon would, since it can be as equally damaging. Here are some of my ideas:

1. Require a government issued licence to view, make and star in pornagraphy (thus, where a site would normally direct you to a 'are you 18 yes or no' page, it prompts you to input your pornography licence.)

2. A mandatory psychological screening before, and if need be counseling after, playing a role in pornography (for example, a woman with a history of sexual abuse would be permanently barred from obtaining a pornography actor licence.)

3. Outlawing any form of pornography other than normal intercourse (for example, fetishes, snuff), punishable by mandatory jail time.

1. Good troll post

2. I like the idea of a pornography license, that would look great on my resume.

I can vouch for there being absolutely nothing psychologically damaging about being in pornography.

Pornstar Remy Lacroix is very happy about it.

There's nothing psychologically damaging about anything regarding sex unless you're being subjected to it unwillingly, doesn't matter how young you are.

Just because I don't believe in pornography on a site that's full of it doesn't mean I'm trolling

I'm dead serious in what I posted, take a moment to look at my art reviews if you don't believe me.

If it can coerce a woman into killing herself I'd hardly call my quote a joke.

[Urban-Champion]

THIS JUST IN farting should be regulated

Her being in pornography was the catalyst for her killing herself, but it was people (her peers and former schoolmates) relentlessly bullying her for it that really made it happen.

What kind of fetishes? Because I quite like some types of bondage, not so much beating, that I don't like.

Also what about all kinds of drawn and animated pornography?

It's not psychologically damaging unless the child is being coerced and put up to doing things against their will.

That doesn't mean it's okay, and you're definitely a troll.

licence to view, and rule number 3 since there's only voice actors.

And I mean everything that includes degradation. This includes bondage.

You're absolutely horrible.

But surely if people are willingly to be degraded? I know there are men who also to do it, and ways of doing it by covering your identity (masks and screens).

[Makakaov]

You want it for the good, but your 3 points are pretty totalitarian, especially the last one. Yes, pornography is degrading to society, but I think that complex mass propaganda campagin against it would be able to turn majortiy's interest to something productive.

You shouldn't be. You should be sorry and ashamed.

point taken. Anonymity would make my point half-moot. There's still the factor of internal self-shaming.

If my rules were enacted I'd hardly believe anyone would take the time to specifically moderate bondage porn anyway. It's pretty gross to boot.

Well I understand the issue of shaming, i'm ashamed of some dumb shit I said online, think about what someone has to feel when everyone is watching them being cummed on or what ever, they're never going to be able to remove it so its just there forever.

I certainty have a problem with sites where I can find drunk people being raped and what not, that certainty goes well beyond what is porn and is just illegal material.

You think that might be a little generalizing? What about women with self-esteem issues who enter porn to make money?

I definitely hear that. It's even more frightening how easily it's obtained via torrenting or the deep web. Frankly I think America should stop worrying about marijuana and divert that attention to those crimes.

Do some research. Women like those are few and far between. As for them, I agree they shouldn't be in the porn business.

If you're going to use citations from huffpost I might as well start quoting wikipedia.

If I was theoretically the psychologist administering the exam, I would certainly stop the woman in question from further damaging her ego.

Right, but your interpretation isn't all-encompassing, so maybe you should choose your words a little more carefully.

Probably right

[JRob]

Torrenting exists, you know.

[MrPercie]

But also, what about rule34 and the weirder stuff like furry porn?

I can tell your not really a fan of this stuff, but I don't think that it makes it wrong to exist if its on the appropriate sites.

I suppose rule three would apply.

I'm not outright calling on a complete ban of pornography, that would be ridiculous and more damaging than it already is. It's certainly not wrong on appropriate sites, even after applying all three of my theoretical rules.

There's a major difference between having an opinion and quoting an opinion.

Admittedly though I am dismissing a lot of what he says being he likes child porn.

[SubliminalVirus]

"It scars their lives" So how exactly would regulating pornography stop that? Just makes it more of an effort to get some easy money. Seems like a waste of the governments time and money. How exactly do you think they will stop people from making their own porn?

You can bite the barrel of my gun before you take away furry porn.

I still can't believe that you honestly think that porn should be regulated. Fascism gets my rage building. People who think their opinions should become law.

Sit on a knife.
