    Looking at porn doesn’t mean you have a porn addiction. It’s also not unhealthy. Playing a porn game also doesn’t mean you have a porn addiction. It’s only an addiction if it affects your life negatively. Porn gives one pleasure and more pleasure is objectively a good thing, unless it affects you in a bad way, like certain kinds of drugs.

      It is unhealthy. Not only does it make it so people have unrealistic expectation in bed (due to watching porn and thinking it should be the same) but also there are always victims in porn and the porn industry is full of human trafficking and minors showing up in porn is not uncommon on porn sites. It’s just damaging to society and no, pleasure is not objectively a good thing. Just because something gives one pleasure doesn’t make it good or even healthy. Life is not all about hedonism.

        Not only does it make it so people have unrealistic expectation in bed That’s more due to shitty sex ed. A good instructor will state clearly that porn isn’t realistic.

        but also there are always victims in porn and the porn industry is full of human trafficking “Always” is a big stretch here. Does it happen? Yes. But not always. And it’s better handled through industry regulation than outright banning. All banning would do is drive it underground and make it even more exploitative

        If you generate expectations from what you see in media they are always going to be unrealistic regardless of what it is. Every industry has its share of scum but you cant throw it all out because of bad people doing bad things. The fault lies within those people not the industry.

          Well, all communist countries have banned porn too. I think you’re getting somewhere now. I don’t like capitalism either because of its exploitative nature. Pornography is just harmful to society.
