A pretty silly remark. Anybody who hasn't been exposed to porn long before he goes off the college hasn't tried to access it.
Why should he start doing so simply because he's at college?
Porn actors are basically paid to have sex in public. How is this different than prostitution? Well, Congress calls it “free speech”.
I think the author’s point is not that an 18 year old has never seen porn, but in an unfiltered environment, with unfettered access, and others doing so without supervision 24 hrs. per day....the odds of developing an addiction are infinitely higher.
I’m no libertarian, but I can’t think of any way short of shutting down the Internet that would be an effective way to prevent porno access from those of any age who seek it.
For my own children, they must get permission for each and every web site they go to. No private email. CERTAINLY no social media.
Possible. However, it should be noted that traditional porn sites are dying, due to competition from free porn sites similar to Youtube.
and earns its purveyors more than $3,000 per second.
Again, quite possibly true. But the biggest effect of the interwebs on porn has been to kill off the middleman.
Instead of a "porn king" getting rich off exploited women, the norm is more often a women entrepeneur selling her "services" directly to the consumers, via private shows and such.
The porn industry is heavily invested in keeping age verification out of the Internet.
It’s tantamount to giving beer to 13 year-olds and defending it by saying “I couldn’t card him because he couldn’t show me an ID”.
To which I respond: Liquor? I barely know her...
Prostitution the original exercise in free enterprise and supply and demand!
It’s a State issue pretty much. Some States say it is, some say it isn’t. State lines usually aren’t crossed so that won’t involve Fed Law.
What upsets me the most about COPA was that it COULD have been written to not be over-broad and survive constitutional challenges. But, worrying more about impressing constituents than doing anything tl help them, the morons we elect passed a law so braod that a First year Law Student would know it was unconstitutional.
Clinton and Janet Reno deliberately halted Justice Department activities to enforce pornography laws.
The pornography explosion began under Janet Reno, not only because of the technology expansion of the internet, but because the feds deliberately did not target pornographers.
The alcohol comparison is a good one, by the way. Pornography damages people and marriages and families.
You are a great parent who cares
Here’s another catchy phrase that works for more than just “porn”...
“World proof your kids as there is no way to kid proof the World.”
“Porn addiction” is a feminist phrase concocted by women who have spent 0% of their time trying to understand just how much a young man likes and dsires sex.
Hint: They like it a lot.
It’s like saying that a runner has water addiction and a shoe fetish.
How is politics any different from prostitution ?? With the exception that you’re generally not satisfied, when a POLITICIAN screws you. . . . (evil grin)
Decades ago, as a young teen, the only thing a newsstand guy cared about when I wanted to buy a copy of Playboy was whether I had money to pay for it.
When I was a teenager you had to rely on the “Porn Fairy” leaving magazines in the bushes.
It’s sure a far cry from my youth, where if you wanted to access porn you had to bribe somebody’s drunken uncle to travel downtown to the red light district and bring you back a couple of magazines an a brown paper bag.
My guess is that if the truth were known, porn is the underlying problem that caused the fairly recent increase in ED.
It’s also the likely reason that the young nowadays see nothing wrong with depravity like homosexuality. If they’re looking at depravity all day every day, they become sheeplized and indoctrinated.
