Although I dont condone it - especially when it is available to minors (which is already illegal but hardly enforced) this proposal sounds like it came right out of the mouth of an over-the-hill ‘holy roller’ prude woman during Prohibition. Pornography existed all the way back to the cave-dwelling days – we are still unearthing stone “sexual toy” artifacts and nude representations of humans.
Don’t you agree that we have bigger fish to fry at this time, instead of worrying about naked people looking at other naked people?

But that sounds like a moral issue, not a political issue. Should we really have to go through the effort of BANNING everything in order to educate people that BANNING is rare and last resort?
You will never ban porn, you will simply move it under the covers. How did that “banning thing” work in the 1920s Prohibition era? It moved alcohol underground and made it even more popular. Apply the same here.

I disagree with this. This is taking a freedom away. If you feel this is an issue then offering some sort of program like a rehab would be the way to handle it. No one wants to be told what they can’t do, especially when they aren’t hurting other people.

You do understand OF and Fansly models have to pay the website 20% to use their platforms plus have to do a bunch of verification not only just to be approved for the site but also in order to get their money deposited in their bank accounts? Plus they also pay more taxes than you do correct? It’s a little thing called sin tax. The same as us who smoke or drink have to pay a sin tax. If you don’t like porn don’t watch it plain and simple but there are people who do enjoy it and some couples use it to get in the mood to be intimate. There does need to be age verification put on all porn sites to verify age of both the model and the user which both OF and Fansly are strict on.

Honestly as much as I believe that porn addiction is a major issue in this country banning it would go directly against the 1st amendment. Whether you like it or not production of porn is protected by the first amendment as long as it’s not featuring or marketing towards minors.

The govt has tried to ban porn since the 1700s. Every time it fails and is cited as a first amendment violation. We really need to stop wasting tax dollars on this.

If I may give some more information beyond this interesting note:
What is Dopamine? Dopamine is a chemical in the brain that is associated with rewards. As children ,we associate dopamine with candy, toys, and gift reception. As we age, how we view rewards can change.
Porn viewing is an instant gratification with dopamine, and often causes massive amount of dopamine to be formed, this being the case, it often locks out other forms of dopamine in the brain and becomes the sole source of dopamine( or reward chemical for the brain). Those of us in society that are Neurodivergent in the brain are more likely to develop a dopamine addiction through porn.
Porn Increases Performance Anxiety with regard to sex by increasing unrealistic expectations on reality from fantasy.
Suggestion: Increase legal consumption age of porn to age 25( the physiological age at which the brain is fully mature).
Reasons:
1.) Decreases likelihood of dopamine dependency through porn
2.) Allows the brain the ability to identify and distinguish fantasy from reality.
3.) Gives more time for the brain to develop
4.) Allows individuals to build more confidence with sex at an earlier age before age 25
5.) Decreases likelihood of unrealistic expectations with sex
6.) May increase likelihood of increased energy and increased energy for performance( in and out of the bedroom).
7.) Decreases overall likelihood of sex addiction.

I’m curious as to how this is a “Detailed Contribution.” I’m assuming you meant “addiction,” not “addition.”
Porn is absolutely an addiction, and closer to being a drug addiction than most people realize. The naturally-occurring brain chemicals released in prelude to, and during an orgasm are quite similar to, and stimulate the same brain centers as do some of the opioids and presumably cocaine, crack, and other illegal/controlled substances which users describe as “pleasurable” and as inducing a “high.”
I’d suggest, unless and until the tax pressure to shut it down is successful, that we, at the very least put 50% of any taxes collected on porn into the NHSA-National Health Savings Account see People's Mandate Healthcare for All Americans https://www.facebook.com/100036084640155/
This will enable people who recognize their own addiction to seek help with it, if they wish, without a judgmental (and/or greedy) insurance company getting in between the patient-addict and the help they need.
Well why didn’t someone suggest that in the first place --Jeez? Looks like we solved the problem – we just mandate a website control on the porn intro page that says “Click YES, if you are 25 years old before proceeding further, Otherwise, Click NO.” Dopamine and sexual performance problems solved! 
Freedom of speech and expression. There should be an ID requirment to verify age.
Not sure you are aware of this, but even the adult industry and products has led to life changing technologies and innovations. Like Camcorders and VHS video machines.
I realize it isn’t as simple of a fix as a click yes or no for legal verification( people do lie, which I absolutely get). with anything like an a change in age requirement, the issue becomes both funding for enforcement, and funding itself.
I wasn’t going to devote much time to this seemingly outlandish policy proposal, but perhaps there may be a couple of cents to share on it.
As long as people desire porn in the privacy of their own homes, there will be people who will supply that desire for them – especially in a free open market economy. Keep in mind here – no crime is being committed. Looks more like some are “looking” to create a crime when there is no crime – much like the government does when it magically states every year that you OWE them more “new” money on your home that you paid off 20 years ago, and if you don’t pay it, you “committed a crime” and they can then come steal your home. And it is no different than those who command you to cover every inch of skin with a black cloth, even in the heat of the sun, if said skin exists above your ankles, or above your wrists, or below your neckline, so that other poor souls might not get “subsequently aroused, or even accidently but publically bulging” over the fantastically shocking sexual display of exposed bits of “exciting epidermis”. (see latest 2024 Iranian Hijab Law).
Nevertheless, people who behave like governments behave (almost worshiping more control at the expense of the masses), by telling people what they can, must, or cannot do – these people have a formal name. They are called “STATISTS”. They are generally sociopathic by nature (look it up) and gravitate toward jobs and other social positions where they can exhibit that control and get that “fix” – like school boards, public offices, adminstrative, preaching and teaching positions.
When some people continuously seek blanket-wide restrictions over the rest of the population, because of their own desires, they are considered statists. These people (maybe 20% of the population) are an existential threat to the freedoms of the rest of the population. They exist in every culture and nation, all throughout history, and are more densely packed, per capita, in our north-eastern states and the western coastlines of our county. They “get their rocks off” (pun intended) and “their dopamine fix” by denying the 80% of others what they themselves might desire (down to a glass of water, when it is ideally served).
Stephen, it sounds like you might be arguing to distort our free market economy (including its less-desirable porn industry) with the redirection of ever-dwingling funds that could best be used for more productive purposes - like fixing our Social Security shortfall. I seriously think this “porn danger” is being over-played, especially with the described illness of “radical dopamine addiction through porn” and the call for a much-needed massive public spending effort to combat the ‘sexual pandemic’ and the urgent ‘treatment of countless porn addicts’ posing as perhaps a moral security threat.
It sounds like it may be the porn-Nazis themselves, who pose more of a threat to national resources than some kid who found a porno tape and won’t come out of the bedroom for supper. We would come out better, as a nation, psychologically treating Statists themselves for their “dopamine additions and OCD complexes”, rather than porn addicts – at least it would stifle future Nazi-eque unconstitutional regulations and the subsequent waste of precious resources that might otherwise go to the remaining 80% of the population, who simply want to live freely, as cheaply as possible.
Again, lest we forgot how this turned out in the 1920s – replace the above policy title to “Get rid of Alcohol” – and you can see what a miserable failure such a policy would be, once “funded and enforced”. Billions wasted, lots of beer-soaked streets with broken kegs – nothing accomplished, but an embarrassing stain on the sheets of American History. I am not arguing for porn; I am arguing against massive waste and stupidity [and the ill-effects of sociopathic statists that got us into our present failed state].
