Yes I do believe that trafficking would reduce in numbers if porn was banned. So do many other folks. Many documentaries on the subject, in fact.
However I will argue that it is better to expose the porn industry for what a cess pool it really is and make people find disgust in it. After that happens, it will go the same way as any company who goes woke.
How so? They banned alcohol once and look at what happened. Crime skyrocketed because of it. Just imagine if that happened to porn. Remeber all it takes to create porn is a camera. What makes you think backmarkets wont arise from banning porn? Especially if its easy to create?
More people drank alcohol before prohibition than during prohibition (i.e. making it illegal actually reduced the consumption rates). Oregon had an issue with illegal marijuana consumption before they made marijuana legal. Do you know what happened when they did this? More people decided to use marijuana recreationally - that means that less people used marijuana when it was illegal to use. So... yes, I do believe porn being illegal would reduce rates of consumption (especially by our poor children who are subjected to pornography at such young ages these days).
Again, I am not arguing that it should be illegal. I would advocate that all porn become way more regulated. It should not be offered for free under any circumstance. It should not be so easy to find on the internet. Producers of pornography should be able to provide receipts of actor/actress ages and consent forms before engaging in pornographic activity. Anyone who has not done that and is producing the material should be prosecuted and it should be illegal to create pornography unless those receipts are presented.
it doesn't matter how much people are drinking. my point is that the banning of alcohol led to more crimes. it led to shoot outs. it led to shit we didn't need. that's why the ban was lifted because it caused more problems. how do you think it should be regulated. im all ears
I am not wrong. More people drank before prohibition than during prohibition because of the simple fact that it was illegal. Your argument is the same argument that Oregon just used to decriminalize all drugs; they believe it will/would reduce drug use. Well, has decriminalizing drugs helped in reducing drug rates in Oregon? Fuck no they haven’t; its exacerbated the issue (by design). Take marijuana for example - less people used that substance when it was illegal then when it was legal.
Furthermore, the argument that “well people will find a way to find porn on the black market if it was illegal” is equal to the “if abortions are illegal than abortion rates will not reduce, only the method of abortion” or “if murder was illegal than people would just kill illegally.” So since people will find a way to break the law we should just not have laws? I disagree
Again, though, I am not against porn being legal. I think its degenerate and I am a million miles above that these days; however, I am completely for placing regulations on pornography such as mandatory subscriptions in order to keep kids from readily viewing pornography. Also any company that distributes pornography must comply to some form of entity that tracks the participants (verifies ages, consent, etc). More importantly, the great awakening will bring folks closer to God and hopefully make people want to drop pornography addiction all together for it is a detriment to our society.

How many people do you know who actually pay for porn? There are many who would avoid it for the most part if they had to pay for it.
My above comment relates to yours as well.
