Porn is as 'harmful as cigarettes' and must be treated as a major health crisis with new restriction

[Dragoon]

Pornography causes so much harm it should be treated like cigarettes and reckless driving, MPs demanded last night.

Members of the Commons women and equalities committee said porn should receive as much public funding as other major health issues.
The MPs insisted ‘public places must be made safe for all women and girls’ as they called for a ban on viewing adult material on mobile phones on buses.
The group made a raft of recommendations on how to curb the harmful impacts of pornography.

And the committee also criticised social media firms such as Twitter and Facebook, noting: ‘Online spaces are public places where sexual harassment of women and girls is rife.’
The MPs called on the Government to force global internet giants to take action on the issue.
The demands were made in a damning report which found many women and girls were left ‘terrified’ by sexual harassment fears. It found girls as young as ten were being sexually harassed, with many targeted because they were wearing school uniforms.



Watching porn on buses and trains should be banned to slash sexual harassment against women, a damning Commons report says today.

MPs said the Government should force train operators to block access to porn and amend bus regulations to prohibit viewing sexualised images on board.

The Women and Equalities report said the use of porn should be treated as a public health issue like smoking or tackling road safety.
And it slammed the Government for failing to address the “deeply ingrained” problem of sexual harassment in public which affects almost all women.
It found “routine and sometimes relentless” harassment of women and girls on the street and in parks, on public transport, in bars, clubs and universities, and online.

Women were forced to change the routes they travel home, take off headphones while running and switches train carriages to avoid “far reaching” abuse.

Surveys have found two thirds of women - including 85 per cent of 18-24-year-olds - had experienced unwanted sexual attention in public places including “upskirting” rape threats and men exposing themselves.

More than a third reported unwanted touching like groping on public transport. And at least 60 per cent said they did not feel safe walking home.

I'm sick as fuck then

[TheForeigner]

Watching porn on trains or buses? That is retarded! Who are these people who watch porn on their phones in public and harass women? I would think watching porn on a small phone screen is not even enjoyable to begin with.

Maybe porn isn't the problem here. Crazy idea, I know.

Porn is bad for you but not for the reasons stated above.

[Dragoon]

Heres another websites list:

1. Porn can change and rewire a consumer’s brain.
2. A porn habit can dramatically escalate into unexpected territory.
3. Porn can become an obsessive compulsion, or even an addiction.
4. Porn can really alter a consumer’s sexual tastes.
5. Similar to a drug, porn can affect a consumer’s brain.
6. Porn can damage your sex life and sexual health.
7. Porn is full of toxic lies.
8. Porn can harm love and drive a wedge in relationships.
9. Porn can fuel anxiety, depression, and leave consumers lonelier than before.
10. Porn can hurt your partner.
11. Porn can warp healthy views of sex.
12. Porn has a dirty little secret: not all explicit content is produced consensually.

I have to say, I think the over exposure to pornography is indeed problematic and may act to desensitize many people by producing some unrealistic expectations of what real quality sex should be between their respective partners; especially in a loving relationship. I am no prude. But I can certainly understand this perspective.

People used their imagination, then pictures/magazines, then porn videos.... next is 3d stuff like minority report. They already have sex bots and dolls ffs.
Good for those who support controlling population or depopulating the planet. Yet its mostly effecting the areas where fertility/birth rates are already below replacement...

This is an excellent and very necessary subject you've brought up OP. I highly, highly recommend the following website to any person who visits pornographic sites with any kind of frequency:

https://www.yourbrainonporn.com/

It breaks down from a scientific perspective why porn is no different than a harmful drug i.e. it completely hooks you and rewires your neurotic circuitry for the worse.
Today's generation in some ways really have it worse; many young kids have smartphones or access to high-speed internet for that matter, and thus access to porn has never been any easier. Some of these kids start so young, I can't imagine the long-term destructive effects it might have on them. With that being said, the above link is crucial not only for those who seem to have some kind of direct relationship with porn, but even those with siblings, children, etc. Only when we educate ourselves on why it is dangerous, does it become easier to overcome.

Every time I watch porn for some how feel some jealousy and wish that was me being torn apart instead LOL anyone else feels that same experience??
