Porn should be illegal. It destroys the meaning of sex. Porn is packed with human trafficking and exploitation. Porn wrecks one's brain.
I pray that porn becomes illegal.
The fact that you use prayer for a social problem already tells me how wrecked your brain is.
What do you mean when you say porn destroys the meaning of sex?
Your question is so off I advise you do research and meditate on your question.
You do realize that you're asking something that is so far off from reality and what it means to a human being.
Gotta be honest, I expected a better and more thought-provoking answer than what is basically the same shit bigoted nuts throw when someone asks why they have a problem with queer people. With such incredible logic as
I can't believe I didn't immediately fully understand your genius. Next time save everyone the time and don't bother replying if you have nothing to say.

You really can't ignore the facts.
What a gaslight!
@SugarApplePie literally repeats your own line back to yourself asking you to expand and suddenly it's his question that is off.
When you respond like this it becomes apparent that you simply don't know the answer. You reveal yourself.
All you've accomplished here is condescension. Clearly he doesn't realize or he wouldn't have asked. It's also clearly not a rare opinion judging by your initial post so why the pretense that he should already know?
I have to assume you're just a troll because no rational person would respond like this.

while i don't necessarily disagree that porn can destroy the meaning of sex and wreck one's brain, i really would prefer the state stay out of my business. i think a better approach would be to provide education on how porn affects us and avenues to seek help should someone fall into an addiction. however, getting the state involved on what people can and cannot say is too much control for my comfort.
I understand your POV but porn is as bad as hard drugs (because it is). We clearly can't regulate it given how many children get sucked into it. So letting government block this isn't the same as government overstepping into other spheres of freedom.
Excessive freedom that hurts our species isn't "freedom" but a hidden addictive trap that hurts us on a multi-generational level.
"Porn is as bad as drugs" is a privileged opinion of someone who's never lost anyone to addiction.
Porn destroys families which in turn creates broken children that turn to drugs, including porn.
Suicide rate is high with men and their depression is fraught with addictions including porn.
You know what causes even more addiction to drugs than porn does? Fucking drugs do.
You know what destroys orders of magnitude more families than porn? Surprise! It's fucking drugs, again.
Addiction requires a cage being attempted to be escaped. Porn and drugs are similar in the sense of trying to escape some sense of personal hardship. Both porn and drugs are an effect, not the cause.
