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

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.
