Federal overreach it is none of the federal government or anyone else’s business what private citizens do in their home as long as everyone is consenting adults. SAY NO TO FEDERAL OVERREACH.

Women stop participating in pornography.
Check your state constitutions and existing laws - I know in Virginia, the state code enumerates vulgarity and obscenities (obviously not enforced much - certainly not in the school settings)

So perhaps there might be existing laws that need to be enforced.

Satan is truly a beautiful concept. The idea that we are free to resist the overarching arbitrary authority of an invisible deity is something to hang onto, not stay away from. The true enemy wants to censor the truth from everyone.
Pornography also funds human trafficking which does involve literal children under the age of 10.

Yes it’s only men lol. Can we also ban the adult books women read that are filled with fantasy? Women are reading these books and expecting a man to be a millionaire, with a chiseled 6 pack to tie them up and have their way with them it’s just not realistic.

As deplorable as it is, you cannot outright ban pornography. Like it or not, it is still free expression. Banning porn will lead to a slippery slope to ban anime, games, and eventually sports.
Must there be more regulation with porn? Of course. But you cannot jail or fine adults for simply watching or consensually producing it.

Its tough, while I largely agree with this it would never happen. With the amount of Porn that is currently online I don’t think it is even remotely possible for the government to stop it from being shared. I do think that websites should require verification of being 18+ maybe requiring photo ID (unlike voting lol) before you can use the website, but that imposes privacy concerns. I really wonder what the best solution is. Tough topic. I suppose we can ban any further creation of it.
And actually plays part in human sex trafficking with women and children.

I find it upsetting how many people are making this a freedom issue. So what about the people being victimized? Or the children being exposed to this at a very young age because it is in movies and shows deemed to be family friendly. Do their freedoms not matter?
In my humble opinion, free porn is not the same as free speech, but I hear you, so how about this. Instead of a ban, make it cost a person to view it every time, and costs go up if you want to view from places known to traffick people. That way your bank account can show you whether it’s a matter of rights, or just right vs wrong.
I will say this in the kindest way possible. It really gets me steamed up how people phrase this as a matter of self-control, but still argue that sex addiction is a real addiction. Or that rapists are the worst, unless they film the rape for millions of people, and make money doing it. Or how about the fact that many of these girls and boys are drugged out of their mind, then filmed without knowing it?
Meanwhile, people sit high and mighty on the other end of the screen, because , hey, it’s not me or mine, not my son or daughter. And for those who say these people are willing, put yourself in their shoes. How many of them do you think decide to turn it into a career because the drugs are addicting? Or because the industry has made them famous for it, so they think somewhere along the lines of, “at least I can get rich for being ruined on the worldwide web.”
Does the hypocrisy never end? Porn will still exist, but it wont be as lucrative if there is risk. This will cut down on the evil being done.
I will always be in support of a full ban, but if that insults your freedom, how about you pay for being someone willing to watch people suffer untold physical and emotional harm just to get your jollies off?
Okay, rant over, and I mean no offense for reasonable people. I have seen some good points. I am speaking directly to the people phrasing their support of the porn industry as a ban being a violation of their rights. Have you seen some of these videos? Disgusting.

I appreciate the sentiment on this policy, but I’m curious: given SCOTUS rulings declaring porn is protected speech, how would you implement this without it being instantly declared unconstitutional?
The leftist justice majorities of the 20th Century did great harm to the republic with many of their unhinged rulings. But, setting aside 1st Amendment concerns, under what enumerated power in Article 1 Section 8 do you envision Congress having legitimate power to legislate a porn ban?

I agree with an outright ban, and for those who don’t understand why, I suggest reading Gail Dines’ Pornland, Paid For by Rachel Moran, and Suzzan Blac’s website on pornography. Pornography has reshaped male sexuality in this culture, and therefore it has damaged female sexuality as well. Men can’t or struggle to relate to women, and as usage continues it takes more boundary-violating images to arouse. So porn provides its users with children, with increased violence, and now with ‘sissification’ porn. There is no good porn just like there is no good sexual enslavement – it’s right there in the word pornography, ‘graphic depiction of sexual slaves.’
We need to improve the overall health of members of our culture, and we owe this to the children and teens coming up, so that we might have the strength and the mental capacity to fight back. There is so much coming at us now – locally, federally, globally, and sick bodies and obsessed minds won’t work. It’s looking like it’s more part of a so-far successful plan to get us dumbed-down, self-focused, and sick.

Is it really free? There is absolutely no proof of that. Only Fans? Women’s partners film and sell the images to raise money (for dinner, even), but you never see them – unless it’s a sex vid. Read more deeply. As I suggest below (or above, depending on nesting of comments), it’d be a good idea to get better background from Dines, Moran, and Blac.
Uh, porn quite generally is images of actual human beings. ‘Bodice ripper’ books, aimed at women, do not use real individuals’ bodies for their ‘product’! And while it is not only men, as women have been groomed into accepting porn from the 60s onward, it is men. And it is men who rape and who believe they are entitled to female bodies just because. Never in my long life have I heard of a woman who read a steamy novel and then went out and accosted a chiseled six-packer. I can offer plenty of instances of the other sex’s abuses!

Another pretty sexist response. There are women who also are sexual predators. My issue with your proposal isn’t the proposal but the delivery. women also watch porn but again it’s just males which is sexist and then your follow up just puts the nail in the coffin

In addition to pornography, I believe online gambling should be banned. We have allowed gambling in every state and now online has perpetuated the gambling addiction in this country. At least stop the online form tp prevent the financial destruction of the individuals who are ruined by this

Pornography is a 1st Amendment right. The government has no business regulating or banning speech.

Then regulate it. Make an addendum defining pornography as consensual filmed sex, performed and recorded in a sanitary and professional setting. Make them prove it’s consensual in order to upload or sell on the freemarket. And make them undergo the same health inspections that restaurants and such undergo. Also, don’t make the final product free. Since porno, under your argument is protected speech, put it under a media category, making the actors and actresses legal employees with unalienable rights. Which means, it is an actual product, so you make it cost the marketer, and the consumer. That will also cut down on the demand. Boom. Although, I’m sure others could make this an even stronger regulation using the fact that much of porn is violating the rights of either one, or both parties.

Censorship is censorship, no matter how you try to sugarcoat and justify it.
…
There is such a thing as moderation. You could consider it a form of censorship, but it can be healthy. I can prove it to you, because there’s a line here that I think you’ll agree with: child corn.
There are countless things that we don’t allow, including this, for good reason. Pornography does nothing good and only breeds evil. You cannot, as others have done, compare this simply to the Prohibition or it directly to alcohol. There is a healthy amount of alcohol you can drink and enjoy, there is no “healthy” amount of pornography.
To continue to use alcohol as an example, you can have alcohol, remember it, and choose not to have it. Pornography is different. It’s an image. It sears into your mind. If you remember it, you’re already effected by it again. It’s a self-fulfilling addiction, and it’s…
Bad for mental health,
bad for self-confidence,
it twists your mind,
and most importantly, it’s just sexual immorality. A lack of self-control. An addiction. It feeds a grotesque industry that has deep shadows behind it involving innocent men, women, and children.
At the very least, I think a workable middle-ground would be to ban the distribution of it. This way you have the freedom to keep and “enjoy” your stash, but innocent people don’t get wrapped up into it. This would, I think, also have a side benefit of making sex rings easier to find by reducing the slew of pornography we find “acceptable”.
