Is internet porn ruining our next generation? Is censorship the answer?
These scholars and experts are at the forefront of this research. Apologies but you will have to listen to at least one of these clips to get what this O.P. is all about.

Is it possible that in sexual matters, the right wing conservatives might be ahead of the left wing in their thinking?
If not, then what should the left do to help us save our children from the indoctrination via internet porn into unhealthy and unwanted sexual habits? Or have them not be able to perform without porn?
I consider myself left wing but I think we may be going a tad far and should move to the right on this issue due to things like you saw in the clips above as well as what is shown in this clip below.

At one time, parents would have closed any shop that gave access to the young to porn. Yet today, parents do not seem to care and as more and more young children get cell phones, parental prohibition will be impossible.
Have parents forgotten how to parent and are men and women willing to allow the status quo to ruin the sexuality of the next generation?
"Censorship reflects society's lack of confidence in itself. It is a hallmark of an authoritarian regime." - Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart
To date, I have lived by the above quote. I do not lack confidence in our adult population but see this issue as more of a medical one and I am willing to censure for our children's sake.
Some Eastern countries have used censorship to gain control of what their children can access. Should the West do the same?
Are our children worth it?

Re: Is internet porn ruining our next generation? Is censorship the answer?
Perhaps you would advocate book-burning as well. Censorship is about as effective as prohibition, or illegal prostitution. If something's illegal, that people really want to do, then they will just find a way around the law, or break it.

This is more of a thread on parental duty but ignore the addictive aspect of what our children are being exposed to all you like. You just show the usual adult concern for yourself and screw the rest.vegetariantaxidermy wrote:Perhaps you would advocate book-burning as well.

If you think censorship and prohibition do not work then prove that it does not work by getting me a link to child porn or access to dynamite.

I was referring to the prohibition era on alcohol actually. It didn't stop people from drinking, and only created a massive crime problem.Greatest I am wrote:This is more of a thread on parental duty but ignore the addictive aspect of what our children are being exposed to all you like.

Child porn is highly illegal and it doesn't come under the category of 'censorship'. You also missed my point of course. I don't have a problem with pornography being inaccessible on the internet, but I don't see how that would even be possible. You would have to make all pornography illegal if that were to be the case. Would you censor ancient Roman murals? They can be pretty 'pornographic'. I doubt if porn is 'ruining' the next generation, apart from turning boys into terrible future lovers.

Re: Is internet porn ruining our next generation? Is censorship the answer?
That means that you did not view the links that show that internet porn is an addiction and harm issue more than a porn one. Harm to both the physical performance of our young as well as the mental dysfunction.vegetariantaxidermy wrote:I was referring to the prohibition era on alcohol actually.

The old porn is not at all like the new one thanks to the delivery system.
Most older guys in these places are not recognizing the new reality because they were never exposed to the addictive power that the net has brought to us.
