    weird how the state that claims ultimate patriotism and likes to talk about ‘muh freedoms’ and all those ‘dont tread on me’ flags spends so much of its purposefully, very limited legislature time taking away peoples rights.

    ‘patriotic’

      Luke 10:19 Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.

      Tread all you want, Bible says so.

        Supervise your kid while they’re on the internet. Install nanny filters on their phone and computer. Monitor who they hang out with. If you can’t handle raising your kid, you should have thought of that before having them.

            Sure they do. Just don’t have sex. Then you won’t have kids and won’t have to worry about them seeing porn on the internet.

            It’s simple, if you’re not responsible enough to keep your kid off PornHub, you’re not responsible enough to have sex. =P

        I don’t like my children watching anything violent, so you can’t watch action movies anymore

        My aunt is allergic to peanuts, so you can’t eat them anymore

        My uncle is racist, so you can’t be black anymore

        Where does it end?

    The initial pitch will require ID to access porn but then it’ll branch out to any site that hosts NSFW content. Before you know it, every website you access will end up having your internet activities directly tied to you via your ID, and they can further use that data to train whatever models they got cookin up next.

        I think banning vpns like several borderline dictatorships have is still a little far fetched. This would have a negative impact on companies who use them who are the ones that tell congress what to do. Although they could always make it so that large corporations can get certain exceptions and legally using a vpn is just a matter of how much money they fork over to the fcc for a license or something.

        It’s currently illegal to transmit encrypted data over most non-2.4Ghz radio frequencies unless you’re a telecommunication company. No one even cares enough to get mad about this. I imagine they’d eventually reuse whatever playbook they used to accomplish this.

            Telecommunication companies have special licensing that allows them to offer mobile data without following all the same rules they would otherwise have to follow if they used different frequencies. Cell phone network data isn’t regulated the same as other frequencies.

            If you wirelessly access an SSL website over an amateur packet radio system, you are breaking the law. Almost no one ever does this but it’s still bullshit that it’s not allowed.

    If people think porn is too “accessible”, look up New York Time’s Square in the 70s and early 80s. The whole town was practically porn central.

        I want to! But it just doesn’t pay enough. I’m going to have to turn to directing high quality porn when I’m in my 60s. Probably remote work. Meanwhile I need to keep sharpening my directing skills by watching proper examples and analyzing them.

    I can only assume hundreds of thousands of mostly young female actresses rely on pornhub for their income stream. And people think Republicans don’t have a women problem.

      The rest of us shouldn’t have our freedoms restricted because of irresponsible parenting. You’d think people who place such a premium on personal responsibility wouldn’t need the government to help them raise their kids.

      Plenty of unhealthy things we don’t age restrict. Although I look at porn more than I eat hamburgers nobody would stop me from eating one every day, and I’ll be dead from eating hamburgers way before I die of porn.

      Porn is normal and healthy and has been around since before humans had language.

      Jerking off may make you as a parent feel uncomfortable but that does not make porn unhealthy.

        It is common knowledge that porn is unhealthy.

        Good resource: https://fightthenewdrug.org/get-the-facts/

        One point that psychiatrists make about addictions like porn addiction is desensitization. The brain balances the feeling of pain and pleasure automatically, so when you have an abundance of pleasure over a period of time the brain will adjust itself accordingly. This leads to the addict having to pursue newer highs to feel the same pleasure as before. In the case of porn addiction, this could be newer kinks or more extreme scenarios. Many men have unfortunately suffered from erectile dysfunction and worsened relationships with real women due to porn use. This is an established problem.

        It is more fulfilling and productive to direct one’s sexual urges to a real person than a phantom. This keeps one’s self more aligned with what’s real and has good chances of establishing real and productive relationships between people. You cannot establish anything real with a phantom. You cannot have children with it, you cannot have sex with it, you cannot have mutual love with it.

        There is much more to be said. All I request from you is to have some humility when approaching this issue.

          Any psychiatrist who claims to diagnose porn addiction is engaging in malpractice.

          Porn addiction is not real according to sexual scientists.

          The problem is religion and fake morality creating conflicts in people’s minds because they don’t realize that masturbation is fine and healthy.

          The problem is religion, not porn.

          Period.

          None of what you said is scientifically accurate.

          Porn addiction is a religious issue because religion has fucked people’s heads.

          The only thing people with so called porn addiction share in common is a religion that teaches sex is immoral.

            You said in one of your other posts that every person who thinks that porn is bad is bad. So you think that I’m a bad person. It makes sense why you are not being very charitable.

            Any psychiatrist who claims to diagnose porn addiction is engaging in malpractice. Porn addiction is not real according to sexual scientists.

            Only substance abuse and gambling addiction have made it into DSM. But it is still widely understood that porn addiction is very much real. This is not denied, and is being treated, which is not something you are in a position to call malpractice. It is only a matter of time before porn addiction ends up in DSM as well, because it is a real wide-spread type of addiction.

            The problem is religion and fake morality creating conflicts in people’s minds because they don’t realize that masturbation is fine and healthy.

            This is not the issue, many people who suffer from porn addiction aren’t even religious. The problem is what I described in my earlier comment, which applies to addictions in general, not just porn addiction.

            The problem is religion, not porn. Period. None of what you said is scientifically accurate. Porn addiction is a religious issue because religion has fucked people’s heads.

            Why are you being so emotional? Go and visit the source that I gave you, they reference scientific articles. They are arguing from an empirical standpoint, not a religious one. Go and visit NoFap Forum or other similar communities and read people’s anecdotes about what they are suffering through. Are you going to dismiss all these people as just being fucked in the head because of religion? Grow up.
