    Studies have shown that in places where porn is blocked, rape occurs at higher frequencies than in places where that is not the case, possibly due to higher levels of feelings of frustration and repression. This may be only one website now, but if others likewise follow the trend out of fear of litigation… then Texas may become a much more dangerous state to live in in the very near future, even compared to what it already is now.

        Would you be okay with letting children freely watch people having sex? The issue is not with freedom its with what we allow minors to see. I dont know how it is possible to stop this, but I agree its a problem that needs to be addressed if possible.

          It’s always bonkers (and rather telling) how conservatives always frame anything sex as pushing it directly for children, like not banning porn is the same as launching pornhub Jr.

          I guess yall gotta project super hard to cover all the Republicans on the state level in multiple states that have actively been fighting minimum marriage age laws and incest laws.

          “NOBODY IS ALLOWED TO TEACH CHILDREN ABOUT SEX, THEIR BODIES, OR CONSENT - until they marry uncle jimbob when they turn 10 and get pregnant”

    I hope I’m lucky to live long enough to watch Texas secede. I’ll probably just watch the rest of the US become Texas, though.

    For people who says banning porn increases rape. That really feels like correlation not causation.

    Armenia for example is 4th country in terms of least rape Source Yet they ban pornography. World population review. Another would be Turkmenistan.

      Big difference between reported rape and actual rape.

      That being said, I hope for Turkmenistan and Armenia these numbers are for actual rape, good on them if it’s low.
