Could Supporting a Governmental Ban on Porn Help Eliminate the Dangers of Porn Addiction?

A United Kingdom-based publication is asking its government for an automatic ban on porn. Why? Well, it believes there are detrimental effects of porn leading to the demise of society. According to a poll highlighted in a recent article, nearly two-thirds of people on streets support the ban. But while the morality of porn and porn addiction are being questioned, the porn industry is being given free reign.

There are currently no bans or barriers in place to protect individuals from porn. In fact, the porn industry has become a dominant force and markets itself as a normal and healthy interpretation of sex. Some experts find this absurd since there is so much medical evidence on the damaging effects that porn addiction has. Problems from emotional and physical problems to domestic abuse and financial ruin can occur with a porn addiction.

Throughout the world, governments step up to establish laws to protect society. Drugs, stealing and speeding are all self indulgences that are banned in many countries.

The ban simply asks that some barriers be put in place to stop the availability of porn and help to eliminate the sexualization of children and degradation of women among other issues. This also, experts believe, is a precursor to dysfunctional relationships for adults and children, encourages aggression as well as an oversexed population.

It has been proven over and over again that porn is addictive. This fact alone should cause governments to step up and look at setting up some sort of boundaries to protect society.
