Pornography should be restricted. Yes or No?

[yii yann]

It's kind of annoying how the society's morals are interfering with the society's ability to infer. "Child porn" leads to child rapists and sadists, true, but what have "regular" pornography types been doing to our society? Most rapes nowadays are caused by an already-heavy porn addiction. In comparison to child porn/child molesters, "normal" porn/adult rapists have a much more positive correlation. So just because child porn is unethical to the society, it should be banned, while banning "regular" porn is a breach of human rights?

I do agree, however, banning porn once at for all is too brusque a law. The government should do something about its proliferation, though, like what they do on the cover of most cigarette packets. If a guy is entering a porn website he would have to see a statement "Porn has been proven to be highly addictive, a cause of social anxiety, ADHD, erectile dysfunction, and many other issues. Are you sure you would want to enter this?"

...

Child porn is banned because you're ****ing a child. Not because it causes rapes.

Frankly, your second paragraph is more idiotic than the first. Lots of people regularly watch porn without a problem. You want to start sticking warnings on everything? Why don't we just discourage people from driving, lifting heavy weights, etc.

In fact, why not close down every casino and club you see? That way people will be safer right?

It is a select minority that causes all the problems. It is much smarter to deal with THEM specifically, than to label an entire industry as "dangerous".

You are underestimating the effects of pornography. I suggest you to research on the subject before talking to me about it. Just connubial wise, ore than 50% of divorce these days are caused by porn-related problems such as ED, PIED, inhibited desires toward actual sex, etc. I don't see how you can compare driving and lifting heavy weights to marriages.

Yes, there is a huge difference between cp and regular p, but just because it feels morally depraving to **** a child, means it's ok to **** a woman? Is that what you denote?

And about "every casino and club", if porn can be regulated like casinos and clubs, sure, but is porn properly regulated? Modern-day children start watching porn at the age of 10. I don't think casinos and clubs allow people to go in without any identification of age.

Well, having a sexual intercourse with a child is illegal, whereas it is not illegal to have a sexual intercourse with a an adult woman. So yeah, it is ok to have sex with a woman and it is not ok to have sex with a child. Sex is a natural, healthy part of most relationships and there is nothing wrong about it.

I don't exactly see why porn is any different to anything else. Some get addicted to alcohol, some drink it in moderation and enjoy it, some people get addicted to cigarettes, others have one every few months when on a night out, some get addicted to gambling, some just play roulette once a year on holiday in Monaco. We can't ban porn just because some people get addicted to it. Alcoholism has a bad effect on family, relationships, all that jazz, and I somehow can't see it being banned any time soon. I guess we all remember how well prohibition worked in the US.

It's not just some people. I suggest you go watch a TED video called The Great Porn Experiment, which basically describes an experiment sociologists conducted upon college students on pornography. They actually couldn't find a control group of students as they couldn't find any guy who doesn't watch porn. Porn itself is not like alcohol and gambling at all. I would go as far as to say it's the new opium of today.

In fact, I would challenge any guy here who thinks they watch porn "Only in moderation" to go off it entire for 50 days. If you can do it, I take what I said back.

PS As for the **** part, I thought he meant to say rape...Sorry about that.

Firstly, I'm a she. Keep your **** outta this.

Next, so what if they couldn't find any guy that doesn't watch porn? This only proves how common porn is, not that it is negative.

Read what you are typing properly. You are telling me (and the rest of us) to research before talking to you on the subject? Just because you've watched a Ted talk? You can start by referencing all the supposed "facts" you are quoting.

I think having a debate with you is pointless, as you are a cynical, close minded little ****er. It is because of people like you that sex is still seen as taboo, and shaming people like me as "****s".

Go back to the ****ing 18th century.

Go back to the ****ing 18th century.

What a harangue. Clap, clap, clap. Very inspiring. Such beautiful language. Such ability to reason...And above all, such courtesy. You really would make a great example for all IB students.

Did I say the ted talk to be everything? Can you read and infer properly? I said I suggest "YOU", not "I only watched that ted talk". What does your gender have to do with this debate, are you an extreme feminist or something? I said "guys", did I say "you"? Calling me cynical, close-minded when you are the one who is swearing like a lascivious little profligate that came from a Victorian London slum? What do you have against the 1700s, other than the fact people of that age talk more politely than you do?

Since you find sex to be such a glamorous matter, great. Have sex whenever, however you want. In fact, go march parades about it. Make museums about it. Broadcast to the world all about it. Become the one woman to revolutionize everything we know about sex. Tell your parents about it to, see how pleased and proud they are from your sexual achievements.

In some aspects, I admire the people from the 18th century more. And I am sorry, but the society sees taboo in sex. Until the society sees fit to allow having sex publicly and does not scruple from having disrobed figures on the streets...You are the one with the thoughts that shame the society.

Firstly, Royster Zhang, yii yann has credibility in that she has done exams. You're 14, have some respect and grow up at bit. Yii is a fantastic role model for IB students, she got 44 including a 7 in HL Maths.

Secondly, don't try to be witty by using words that you learnt for SAT prep. You're not funny, nor clever. The fact that you're resorting to making every analogy yii says literal shows that your argument is weak, almost as weak as your sense of humour.

Sex is natural, as is masturbation. You're naive and childish to think otherwise. Yes, promiscuity can be damaging, but only if proper protection methods aren't taken. Society do NOT see sex as taboo. Sex is natural, and whilst public sex is frowned upon, pornography isn't public. It isn't advertised on television nor is it plastered on billboards. People can find pornography and view it, so should they wish. It doesn't "damage" society. It reflects what people all over the world do every day. Something that is as natural to us as eating, drinking and sleeping. Grow up and stop being so ****ing naive.

First of all I'd like to thank you on feeding me valuable information about that person. Secondly I'd like to say I do not think I am funny or clever. And thirdly I think I can speak on the subject with more of an authority than you "older" and supposedly wiser people, being one who had been and thankfully no longer am addicted to porn.

Sex maybe natural, so maybe masturbation. But porn isn't. If what is reflected is people watching porn all over the world, it only means how depraved this generation is. Sating your basest and most beastly desires and calling it's natural? Puh-lease, there is a difference in being an animal and being a human, and that is controlling your desires. If men had always followed these "natural" things, we would never have walked out of the caverns.

I said I'd challenge any guy here who only "masturbate in moderation" to be abstinent for 50 days. I do not know if you use pornography yourself, but if you don't, then I don't think you have enough authority to speak on the subject, and if you do, please embark on that challenge first before refuting my argument, because that only make your argument incredibly biased. And yes, people have that right to view it, a right that I have never said to deny. I merely said there needs to be more education and stricter regulations on porn.

I do realize my young age, and how naive I stand in front of your eyes, but since none of us technically are working and in the "real world", age and experience aren't conclusive factors of intelligence. I realize that she stands a very intelligent and assiduous individual, and I would respect her deeply had she not start swearing at me without any form of provocation. Is that what a successful IB student should do, to have such a quick temper once she sees that another does not agree to her idea? That is not the behaviour of a successful person, yet the behaviour of a young, spoiled child. And yes, I learned a lot of words in SAT prep. I learned those words, therefore I have a right to use them. Who says words you learn in SAT prep can solely be used in tests? That's called being witty, yes, but that's also called applying what you learned in real life, something accomplished and successful students like you should already know.

You may be more of an authority? Oh please, watching porn everyday doesn't mean you're addicted to it, that's an illogical argument. Plus, you're 14, you haven't had time to be addicted to porn.

That argument is totally redundant, that's like arguing that TV shows aren't natural. I don't watch porn as much as I used to, because I'm seeing a guy now so I don't really need it. I debated this topic in a national debating competition last year prior to Cameron banning porn in the UK. You're 14, I don't think you've "earned the authority". You can say our arguments are biased and one sided, but yours is exactly the same? I acknowledge porn can be damaging but it can also be highly helpful. It helped me discover my sexuality which never would have happened otherwise as I'm from a background where there is only one acceptable sexuality - straight.

I don't think there do need to be stricter regulations on porn. Teens have always looked at naked images, back when they were magazines and images in print, and now that it's technological and kids are tech savvy, they'll always find a way. More regulations would be a redundant nuisance.

Well I actually do work, I have a job to support my way through uni, so I would say I have a lot more real world experience that you do. You should respect her either way, as she actually has the minerals to back her argument and I fully understand her swearing as you're a very childish and frustrating individual.

You're doing it to make your argument seem more intelligent, when really it lacks substance.. It's a trick debaters use all the time and people see through it

I think I can say I am addicted because it took me over half a year to get off it.

That fits every bit of the drug use continuum chart on the wall of my health class.

I doubt that you were "addicted". You probably got into a habit of watching porn and it was hard to break. Yes, that's cause you're a horny, hormonal teenager. We all think about sex a lot and porn is the easiest outlet.

The fact that you do not provide any evidence to sustain your argument. For example "Just connubial wise, ore than 50% of divorce these days are caused by porn-related problems such as ED, PIED" Proof?

[Royster Zhang]

Firstly, Royster Zhang, yii yann has credibility in that she has done exams. You're 14, have some respect and grow up at bit. Yii is a fantastic role model for IB students, she got 44 including a 7 in HL Maths.

Secondly, don't try to be witty by using words that you learnt for SAT prep. You're not funny, nor clever. The fact that you're resorting to making every analogy yii says literal shows that your argument is weak, almost as weak as your sense of humour.

Sex is natural, as is masturbation. You're naive and childless to think otherwise. Yes, promiscuity can be damaging, but only if proper protection methods aren't taken. Society do NOT see sex as taboo. Sex is natural, and whilst public sex is frowned upon, pornography isn't public. It isn't advertised on television nor is it plastered on billboards. People can find pornography and view it, so should they wish. It doesn't "damage" society. It reflects what people all over the world do every day. Something that is as natural to us as eating, drinking and sleeping. Grow up and stop being so ****ing naive.

First of all I'd like to thank you on feeding me valuable information about that person. Secondly I'd like to say I do not think I am funny or clever. And thirdly I think I can speak on the subject with more of an authority than you "older" and supposedly wiser people being one who had been and thankfully no longer am addicted to porn, thanks.

Sex maybe natural, so maybe masturbation. But porn isn't. If what is reflected is people watching porn all over the world, it only means how depraved this generation is. I said I challenge any guy here who only "masturbate in moderation" to be abstinent for 50 days. I do not know if you use pornography yourself, but if you don't, then I don't think you have enough authority to speak on the subject, and if you do, please embark on that challenge first before refuting my argument, because that only make your argument incredibly biased. And yes, people have that right to view it, a right that I have never said to deny. I merely said there needs to be more education and stricter regulations on porn.

I do realize my young age, and how naive I stand in front of your eyes, but since none of us technically are working and in the "real world", age and experience aren't conclusive factors of intelligence. I realize that she stands a very intelligent and assiduous individual, and I would respect her deeply had she not start swearing at me without any form of provocation.

Yes, I learned a lot of words in SAT prep. I learned those words, therefore I have a right to use them. Who says words you learn in SAT prep can solely be used in tests? That's called being witty, yes, but that's also called applying what you learned in real life, something accomplished and successful students like you should already know.

You may be more of an authority? Oh please, watching porn everyday doesn't mean you're addicted to it, that's an illogical argument. Plus, you're 14, you haven't had time to be addicted to porn.

That argument is totally redundant, that's like arguing that TV shows aren't natural. I don't watch porn as much as I used to, because I'm seeing a guy now so I don't really need it. I debated this topic in a national debating competition last year prior to Cameron banning porn in the UK. You're 14, I don't think you've "earned the authority". You can say our arguments are biased and one sided, but yours is exactly the same? I acknowledge porn can be damaging but it can also be highly helpful. It helped me discover my sexuality which never would have happened otherwise as I'm from a background where there is only one acceptable sexuality - straight.

I don't think there do need to be stricter regulations on porn. Teens have always looked at naked images, back when they were magazines and images in print, and now that it's technological and kids are tech savvy, they'll always find a way. More regulations would be a redundant nuisance.

Well I actually do work, I have a job to support my way through uni, so I would say I have a lot more real world experience that you do. You should respect her either way, as she actually has the minerals to back her argument and I fully understand her swearing as you're a very childish and frustrating individual.

You're doing it to make your argument seem more intelligent, when really it lacks substance.. It's a trick debaters use all the time and people see through it

"You don't watch porn as much as you used to", but are you off it for good? Talk about it once you really are, please.

Teens might have always looked at naked images, but now it is only getting worse. Do you think watching videos involving incest, brutal rape, BDSM, humiliation, and other topics morally acceptable? Do you think it's with this sort of mentality that you want today's teens to grow up with?

I think I can say I am addicted because it took me over half a year to get off it. Even now I am not sure I am good from the addiction as from time to time it lodges up rather uncomfortably in my brain, craving for more. That fits every bit of the drug use continuum chart on the wall of my health class.

In that case I have a part-time job of teaching Chinese ESL students English too. Problem solved. We are on the same ground.

No, do not make a mockery of my profession. I wait tables 4 nights a week and work Saturday and Sunday. I'm paid as a full time employee. Tutoring children through school is hardly the same as having a job to sustain myself at university.

Right, I doubt every teen watches incest, rape or humiliation and BDSM porn, probably a very very small minority. Not that the latter two are actually that wrong. Yes incest, rape and child pornography and bestiality is wrong but BDSM and humilation ? Is it wrong if both parties are into it ? You like what you like.

It helped me discover my sexuality which never would have happened otherwise as I'm from a background where there is only one acceptable sexuality - straight.

I don't think there do need to be stricter regulations on porn. Teens have always looked at naked images, back when they were magazines and images in print, and now that it's technological and kids are tech savvy, they'll always find a way. More regulations would be a redundant nuisance.

Well I actually do work, I have a job to support my way through uni, so I would say I have a lot more real world experience that you do. You should respect her either way, as she actually has the minerals to back her argument and I fully understand her swearing as you're a very childish and frustrating individual.

You're doing it to make your argument seem more intelligent, when really it lacks substance.. It's a trick debaters use all the time and people see through it

In that case I have a part-time job of teaching Chinese ESL students English too. Problem solved. We are on the same ground.

No, do not make a mockery of my profession. I wait tables 4 nights a week and work Saturday and Sunday. I'm paid as a full time employee. Tutoring children through school is hardly the same as having a job to sustain myself at university.

You are right, it hardly is. But that's not what this argument is about.

As for the "horny, hormonal" part, the "horny-ness" is caused by porn in the first place. There were plenty of people growing up before the age of Internet who didn't know what sex and masturbation are until they got married. Your body has natural ways to expel sperm - nocturnal emissions - and after 2 months without masturbation or porn, I don't feel anything wrong with myself, apart from a new vigor, confidence, and a clearer mind to think with.

Firstly, Royster Zhang, yii yann has credibility in that she has done exams. You're 14, have some respect and grow up at bit. Yii is a fantastic role model for IB students, she got 44 including a 7 in HL Maths.

Secondly, don't try to be witty by using words that you learnt for SAT prep. You're not funny, nor clever. The fact that you're resorting to making every analogy yii says literal shows that your argument is weak, almost as weak as your sense of humour.

Sex is natural, as is masturbation. You're naive and childless to think otherwise. Yes, promiscuity can be damaging, but only if proper protection methods aren't taken. Society do NOT see sex as taboo. Sex is natural, and whilst public sex is frowned upon, pornography isn't public. It isn't advertised on television nor is it plastered on billboards. People can find pornography and view it, so should they wish. It doesn't "damage" society. It reflects what people all over the world do every day. Something that is as natural to us as eating, drinking and sleeping. Grow up and stop being so ****ing naive.

First of all I'd like to thank you on feeding me valuable information about that person. Secondly I'd like to say I do not think I am funny or clever. And thirdly I think I can speak on the subject with more of an authority than you "older" and supposedly wiser people being one who had been and thankfully no longer am addicted to porn, thanks.

Sex maybe natural, so maybe masturbation. But porn isn't. If what is reflected is people watching porn all over the world, it only means how depraved this generation is. I said I challenge any guy here who only "masturbate in moderation" to be abstinent for 50 days. I do not know if you use pornography yourself, but if you don't, then I don't think you have enough authority to speak on the subject, and if you do, please embark on that challenge first before refuting my argument, because that only make your argument incredibly biased. And yes, people have that right to view it, a right that I have never said to deny. I merely said there needs to be more education and stricter regulations on porn.

I do realize my young age, and how naive I stand in front of your eyes, but since none of us technically are working and in the "real world", age and experience aren't conclusive factors of intelligence. I realize that she stands a very intelligent and assiduous individual, and I would respect her deeply had she not start swearing at me without any form of provocation.

Yes, I learned a lot of words in SAT prep. I learned those words, therefore I have a right to use them. Who says words you learn in SAT prep can solely be used in tests? That's called being witty, yes, but that's also called applying what you learned in real life, something accomplished and successful students like you should already know.

You may be more of an authority? Oh please, watching porn everyday doesn't mean you're addicted to it, that's an illogical argument. Plus, you're 14, you haven't had time to be addicted to porn.

That argument is totally redundant, that's like arguing that TV shows aren't natural. I don't watch porn as much as I used to, because I'm seeing a guy now so I don't really need it. I debated this topic in a national debating competition last year prior to Cameron banning porn in the UK. You're 14, I don't think you've "earned the authority".

"You don't watch porn as much as you used to", but are you off it for good? Talk about it once you really are, please.

Teens might have always looked at naked images, but now it is only getting worse. Do you think watching videos involving incest, brutal rape, BDSM, humiliation, and other topics morally acceptable? Do you think it's with this sort of mentality that you want today's teens to grow up with?

Right, I doubt every teen watches incest, rape or humiliation and BDSM porn, probably a very very small minority. Not that the latter two are actually that wrong. Yes incest, rape and child pornography and bestiality is wrong but BDSM and humilation ? Is it wrong if both parties are into it ? You like what you like.

"You like what you like". Didn't you hear about that case of masochists who were hurting each other "for pleasure" and got arrested? Or about the man who was murdered and eaten by a murder...voluntarily? Basically the society can exist without any morals as long as "no one is pressed beyond their will"?

In that case, those who are underage should also be allowed to enter casinos once they have parental permission.

I think I can say I am addicted because it took me over half a year to get off it. Even now I am not sure I am good from the addiction as from time to time it lodges up rather uncomfortably in my brain, craving for more. That fits every bit of the drug use continuum chart on the wall of my health class.

A childish and frustrating individual? Please quote the exact words that make you think so.

Then don't bring that into it? i didn't bring up rape porn, you did.

Thats a causality dilemma? Which came first, horny teenagers or porn? I'd say teens have always been a lot more hormonal, even before porn. Now they just have an easy way to explore it. Yeah, but that doesn't mean people havent been masturbating for centuries. Because they have. It isn't a new thing that emerged since porn became commonplace.

"You like what you like". Didn't you hear about that case of masochists who were hurting each other "for pleasure" and got arrested?

Sorry, I'll clarify. You like what you like and you shouldn't be judged for that should it be within the limits of the law. Murder and sex is wrong, and should be condemned. But there are tonnes of people who are into being spanked or whatever during sex, and as long as it doesnt involve serious mutilation that could leave lasting damage, I don't see why people should be condemned. However, this is off topic.

In that case, those who are underage should also be allowed to enter casinos once they have parental permission. Those who are underage should also be allowed to buy alcohol and cigarettes with parental permission. Drugs should be made legal for the prole as long as people aren't bent beyond their will.

That is completely irrelevant to the argument. And does not pertain at all to the issue at hand. I was speaking of people who are over the age of consent being into BDSM or whatever

Well, I see that we have reached an impasse. Since we have different sets of moral, judgment and opinion, there doesn't seem to be anyway I can continue this debate. All the facts that are there have been laid out. If you wish to learn more about it, feel free to take a look on the ted talk link that I've posted. Other than that, good day.

[Emmi]

What a harangue. Clap, clap, clap. Very inspiring. Such beautiful language. Such ability to reason...And above all, such courtesy. You really would make a great example for all IB students. Did I say the ted talk to be everything? Can you read and infer properly? I said I suggest "YOU", not "I only watched that ted talk". What does your gender have to do with this debate, are you an extreme feminist or something? I said "guys", did I say "you"? Calling me cynical, close-minded when you are the one who is swearing like a lascivious little profligate that came from a Victorian London slum? What do you have against the 1700s, other than the fact people of that age talk more politely than you do?

Since you find sex to be such a glamorous matter, great. Have sex whenever, however you want. In fact, go march parades about it. Make museums about it. Broadcast to the world all about it. Become the one woman to revolutionize everything we know about sex. Tell your parents about it to, see how pleased and proud they are from your sexual achievements.

In some aspects, I admire the people from the 18th century more. And I am sorry, but the society sees taboo in sex. Until the society sees fit to allow having sex publicly and does not scruple from having disrobed figures on the streets...You are the one with the thoughts that shame the society.

The 18th century was cool and all, but I think I prefer living in a century where I'm allowed to vote, get an education, not be married off by the time I'm 15, and choose if I want to engage in sex or not. Also people in the 18th century still swore and used language like that. Get over yourself.

My parents know about all of my "sexual achievements." But you know what? They're the ones that provided actual comprehensive education about the risks and negative effects of sex. They help me make sure I'm doing it safely, answer any questions that I have, and they're proud that I waited until I had a caring partner who takes the same precautions as I do. Because when you're from the southern United States that preaches "no sex at all until you're married," and has a stigma just like you do that shames people who engage in natural human tendencies, that is what shames society and keeps people back. People are going to be curious and want an outlet to explore. You can't change that about people, and you're not better than people because you don't watch porn, so stop being so self-righteous. You can call me whatever you'd like, but I think being in a long-term committed relationship with one person that you really love and is the first person (and only) person you've done anything of that nature with doesn't fit any of those descriptions.

I am nearly 20 years old. I worked all throughout high school and the IB, and I worked summers too, doing menial customer service food industry jobs. I go to school full time studying a very difficult field. and I'm not doing too bad in school either. I live far away from where I grew up, so I see my family only a few times a year in person. My parents help with the tuition that the scholarships I earned by working hard in school don't cover, but I pay for my apartment, food, gas, electricity, water, and entertainment myself. I don't own a car, so I bike to school every single day regardless of the weather, even snow and rain. I do volunteer work on the side. I can safely say that I am more mature than you are, and using big words you learned on an SAT list doesn't cut it. I can do that too. Anyone can.

You want to ban porn? Go ahead. Before you attack I'm not talking about things like child porn or rape or things like that, because that is against the law (a child is not mature enough to consent to sex, and rape is...rape). But you can't stop natural human tendencies to want to learn and see sex. What people do in the privacy of their own home is theirs to do. If you don't want to watch porn that's fine. No one is forcing you to do so. But don't put others down because they don't share you narrow 14 year old view of the world.

[Royster Zhang]

I said porn should be better regulated, particularly for the underage, not banned. Read before you comment please....

Before you attack I'm not talking about things like child porn or rape or things like that, because that is against the law (a child is not mature enough to consent to sex, and rape is...rape). But you can't stop natural human tendencies to want to learn and see sex. What people do in the privacy of their own home is theirs to do. If you don't want to watch porn that's fine. No one is forcing you to do so. But don't put others down because they don't share you narrow 14 year old view of the world.

I said porn should be better regulated, particularly for the underage, not banned. Read before you comment please....

What a harangue. Clap, clap, clap. Very inspiring. Such beautiful language. Such ability to reason...And above all, such courtesy. You really would make a great example for all IB students. Did I say the ted talk to be everything? Can you read and infer properly? I said I suggest "YOU", not "I only watched that ted talk". What does your gender have to do with this debate, are you an extreme feminist or something? I said "guys", did I say "you"? Calling me cynical, close-minded when you are the one who is swearing like a lascivious little profligate that came from a Victorian London slum? What do you have against the 1700s, other than the fact people of that age talk more politely than you do?

Since you find sex to be such a glamorous matter, great. Have sex whenever, however you want. In fact, go march parades about it. Make museums about it. Broadcast to the world all about it. Become the one woman to revolutionize everything we know about sex. Tell your parents about it to, see how pleased and proud they are from your sexual achievements.

In some aspects, I admire the people from the 18th century more. And I am sorry, but the society sees taboo in sex. Until the society sees fit to allow having sex publicly and does not scruple from having disrobed figures on the streets...You are the one with the thoughts that shame the society.

The 18th century was cool and all, but I think I prefer living in a century where I'm allowed to vote, get an education, not be married off by the time I'm 15, and choose if I want to engage in sex or not. Also people in the 18th century still swore and used language like that. Get over yourself.

My parents know about all of my "sexual achievements." But you know what? They're the ones that provided actual comprehensive education about the risks and negative effects of sex. They help me make sure I'm doing it safely, answer any questions that I have, and they're proud that I waited until I had a caring partner who takes the same precautions as I do. Because when you're from the southern United States that preaches "no sex at all until you're married," and has a stigma just like you do that shames people who engage in natural human tendencies, that is what shames society and keeps people back. People are going to be curious and want an outlet to explore. You can't change that about people, and you're not better than people because you don't watch porn, so stop being so self-righteous. You can call me whatever you'd like, but I think being in a long-term committed relationship with one person that you really love and is the first person (and only) person you've done anything of that nature with doesn't fit any of those descriptions.

I am nearly 20 years old. I worked all throughout high school and the IB, and I worked summers too, doing menial customer service food industry jobs. I go to school full time studying a very difficult field. and I'm not doing too bad in school either. I live far away from where I grew up, so I see my family only a few times a year in person. My parents help with the tuition that the scholarships I earned by working hard in school don't cover, but I pay for my apartment, food, gas, electricity, water, and entertainment myself. I don't own a car, so I bike to school every single day regardless of the weather, even snow and rain. I do volunteer work on the side. I can safely say that I am more mature than you are, and using big words you learned on an SAT list doesn't cut it. I can do that too. Anyone can.

We don't need to regulate porn. The illegal stuff is already illegal. Underage people are still going to find porn on the internet even if you put all sorts of regulations on it. Teenagers are clever individuals and will find what they want, and regulating it just provides more of an incentive to go watch porn. There are more pressing issues in this world, why would you want to want to focus on porn of all things?
