Porn fucks with your head. I am sorry to be a sorry suzy but I am way to deep into porn, and have been for way to long to not sit here and say it has negatively fuked up the deep and back wiring of my brain.
I support this shit. I will do everything I can to keep my son away from digital porn. The static magazines and shitty VHS tapes of the past where not the same. The ability to process the multi-amounts of images/frames so quickly where hindered by the lag in technology in the past. Physically having to fast-forward through a video, or physically turn pages was enough delay to temper the mind and slow down the stimulating pulses. But no more as now now with digital video, ultra niche stuff its all out the window. I've been hit with damage no different then a heavy drug user, elements of my brain are fried up like jerky and its lowest points deeply affected my real sexual life in my ability to legit enjoy real sex.
Its not a game.
I support this. Iceland is 10 steps ahead on that the right path. Let it go back underground, if people want it so bad let them jump through the hoop. Fucked up dudes still go after kiddie porn, people going to do what makes them happy but from my own experience and just seeing the trends and noticing what it has done to others as well I am 100% convinced Porn is simply a soft weapon against Men. I don;t buy the bullshit of it being such a thing against women, they are getting compensated and know 100% what they are getting into. Its a front to say its about protecting women because governments have done nothing to close sex-trade and human trafficking links that have even more direct damage to safety and welfare of Women. Governments around the world actively collude to expand and limit sex-trafficking via overt open Government immigration polices, and covert collusion with the illegal elements/black market. To me it does more damage to the consumers of the product then the ones whom produce it.
I don't deny it has harmful effects but it seems too extreme to ask big daddy government come in and protect people from themselves by taking away everyone else's freedom to view porn. This is the same argument used to justify restrictions on weed and other drugs, alcohol, sugar, fast food, etc. The argument is even weaker in the case of porn since the harmful externalities are much less (no road accidents, public health care costs). People should be responsible for developing their own healthy habits and, if they can't, the state should just make sure their bad habits don't harm other people.
And this sets a dangerous precedent of regulating content on the internet. The fact that they are following the example of China should have raised some red flags. Of course, the next step will be to filter any speech that is "sexist" or "racist" and soon you'll have no more freedom of speech on the internet than you have on a typical college campus. That Lebanese girl Roosh trolled would actually have legal recourse. It would be very easy for these same fringe leftists to argue that the entire "manosphere" "victimizes" women and seek to restrict it like porn.
When given the choice a man will succumb to the weakness of digital porn in the solace of his own home. This isn't a matter of "freedom" and "choice" its recognizing that it has a negative impact on the mental health of your population at large. This problem directly effects us men and does not get the attention it deserves just like the issues of Male death rates, prison incarceration issues, and male specific health issues like male exposures to environmental toxins. They are brushed aside and any attempt to look at them is attacked by feminists, or brushed off as a over arching Government not taking into account the freedom of its citizens.
Iceland has some of the lowest levels of censorship in the world and is actually a safe haven for many Internet sites/servers, and journalists. I do not buy the notion that Iceland is pursing this on grounds of control and censorship. I honestly believe they view it as a issue that poses a threat to psychological balance of the nation. Iceland is a small nation with a small 'sort off' homogeneous population - If they fuck up they are done. And thus Iceland is aggressive in many fronts such as energy, economic policies, and public justice as means of ensuring vitality and survival long-term.
The studies surrounding porn are mis-guided either measuring its impact on violence projected towards women, or the opposite of trying to get a man to break his hamster and to admit on a survey that he enjoys watching clown tranny porn or something along those lines - good fucking luck.
Ban it like you would legitimately dangerous drugs as both are public health issues to me. heavy pornography ruins men just as much as a heavy narcotic does. Any man whom discounts this premise has simply not been down in that dark hole far enough, your day will come and you will see.
