David Cameron's porn ban will cripple UK porn industry, let's increase unemployment!

they have already outright banned streaming sites

You are right in terms of an Economic viewpoint.
However, it's not just the effect on the economy that we must think about.
Morality and Crime are both linked with pornography.

In my opinion, pornography is surely a 'bad' thing to have in society (I'm not even talking about religion - many believe porn is closely linked with rape) but I don't think the government has the right to decide whether people should watch it or not.

However, I do hope the only reason you are upset is the economic problems caused by the ban and not sexual desires (lol, Joke)

I like porn, like any other honest guy, and I've never committed a crime and I've never even imagined raping women, if anything porn causes my sex drive to lower and thus I'm not even thinking about sex afterwards (if anything it has desensitised me, unlike in countries that have banned porn and are hypersensitive and thus more likely to see a need to rape). even *if* it causes more rapes, which it doesn't (there are facts to prove it) that's no reason to think we shouldn't have it in society when it allows individual and law abiding people happiness while at the same time, hypothetically, causing statistically more rapes (again that's completely unfounded to claim), especially when you said that the government shouldn't have a right to tell us what to watch and what not to watch etc

Hey,

Some good points there, however, if you read what I wrote again, you will realise I didn't say "I believe watching porn causes rape". What I said was that some believe it does. Read The Porn Trap where the author discusses that porn causes a lot of social harm inc. rape. However, I don't believe rape is derived from porn as rape has existed far before the porn industry. Also, stats show that rape is decreasing (but, that may be because of a more powerful police force and security)

Furthermore, I believe all women should be against porn. It definitely shows women as an economic good or just a product to be used by men.
Think about this and we will discuss further if you wish.

it did sort of sound a lot like you were saying "porn is bad for society because it will lead to rape" - what else were you saying other than that? and in terms of the evolution of our (western) civilisation, the rights of women has gone through the roof whereas porn has also dramatically increased in production, so I don't think at all that one causes the other to decrease. a free society will allow men to respond to their innate desires (looking at naked women or women engaging in sex), while women will be allowed to respond to their own desires (perhaps watching men or something else sexual) and it doesn't mean that women (or men) will be objectified for being in porn, and the other factor is that women consent to being in it while getting a lot of money. if you think about the society we have today compared with those countries in the world that ban or severely limit porn, do you consider our society better or worse for women? the fact that porn exists in a free society simply means, at least to me, that some women enjoy being in porn and therefore participate in it for the rewards e.g. money and sexual gratification (and to some extent you might also say that porn may empower women because they can "control" men though sex etc but that's a bit beyond what I'm saying here). porn, to sum up, simply allows us to, instead of having sex or even raping to achieve our sexual desires, get them ourselves and not harm or affect other people while fulfilling them. if it is likely to decrease stress and worry as well then I consider it a good thing in society. more importantly than reducing stress I seriously consider porn to, as your statistics would reflect, be a factor perhaps to decrease sexual assaults towards women (and perhaps also men) because instead of venting these sexual feelings unto others, they can be kept at bay through porn and people won't respond to sex in the world dramatically like they might do in the middle east or central africa; I went to a strip club not long ago and if I were a 14 year old boy who had barely watched porn before I would have gone pretty crazy out of "horniness" (sorry this is simply an anecdote I don't mean to be sick) but when I went at my age after roughly 6 years of watching porn frequently, I didn't really have a reaction to these strippers at all, that's the thing about porn - if you watch a lot of it, it means that in society, sex becomes a little meaningless and therefore it doesn't enter the forefront of your daily life like it might to a rapist (e.g. I didn't end up raping that stripper lol)

1. David Cameron is going to ban porn? Are you sure?

2. Are you really concerned about the employees of this er... babesstation and the impact that any legislation of the porn industry will have on the macroeconomic situation in this country? Or are you just afraid you'll lose your favourite site to spank off to?

What about the Multiplier Effect?

Ban on Porn - Man Can't Get Off - Sexually Frustrated - Sexual Crime Rates Go Up - More Costs on Policing - Less Income for Gov - More into deficit.

Another Multiplier Effect

Ban on Porn - Demand for Porn goes down - Girls lose their jobs - High Unemployment - More Benefit Payments - Less Government Money received from tax + loss of corporation tax gains.

What is the intention of banning porn in the first place? To make people less insecure?

----------

Either way I don't think this ban will do us that much good.....anyone who would want to watch it could easily do it using a proxy....

so no more babesstation?? no more porn = no more porn industry for britain and all actors become prostitutes and will therefore lead to more decay in britain society because very difficult to tax prostitution.

There is absolutely no proof for this "Ban on Porn - Man Can't Get Off - Sexually Frustrated - Sexual Crime Rates Go Up"

Yeah because so many people are in the porn industry...

it's a chitty industry that needs to be taken out of the UK before kids start raping each other because they all watch porn...

oh wait a second, kids already are raping each other because of porn

That was a very funny joke indeed.

That's nothing! Wait till you here about the politicians who want the workhouses to come back.
