Studies have shown that in places where porn is blocked, rape occurs at higher frequencies than in places where that is not the case, possibly due to higher levels of feelings of frustration and repression. This may be only one website now, but if others likewise follow the trend out of fear of litigation… then Texas may become a much more dangerous state to live in in the very near future, even compared to what it already is now.

Yeah! Personal rights! Personal choice! We shouldn’t have government telling us what to do.
Conservatives crack down on policies involving porn
Okay I guess they know what’s best for me yes papa gubberment
So long as the libterds get pwnd. Which they definitely did. By blocking my porn. You see the way it works is uh…
Would you be okay with letting children freely watch people having sex? The issue is not with freedom its with what we allow minors to see. I dont know how it is possible to stop this, but I agree its a problem that needs to be addressed if possible.
It’s always bonkers (and rather telling) how conservatives always frame anything sex as pushing it directly for children, like not banning porn is the same as launching pornhub Jr.
I guess yall gotta project super hard to cover all the Republicans on the state level in multiple states that have actively been fighting minimum marriage age laws and incest laws.

Gotcha, you dont actually understand what texas was doing…
If you do not want something - an abortion, a vaccine, porn, to own a gun, etc. - then the solution is simply: do not take it. Beyond that, why heap heavy burdens upon other people, rather than offering to help?
I am saying that “children watching people having sex” is not the issue here. Some few sickos aside, I think MOST people are agreement on that point. The issues are all the other issues surrounding that topic - e.g. who should be the ones held responsible for stopping that.
Like, why not the parents? It is exceedingly easy to block websites from a home router, and from devices such as ipads, so why should the website be the one upon whom all of the blame and burden should go to? Will Amazon be next, b/c it is possible to find sex toys on it? What about Wal-Mart, b/c you can purchase dangerous ammunition there? For that matter, any child can go into a gun show and see rifles and ammunition on display - why are those not banned? Children have even been known to be able to purchase those weapons, which are literally lethal - which is far worse than merely seeing some skin!!!
Fwiw I think you mean well, but are missing the nuances of this discussion. Children will end up seeing porn - someway, somehow, I guarantee you that it is possible, b/c that is simply how the internet works. It is like playing whack-a-mole and you can’t stop them all, especially like 90% of all domain names are already registered to porn and pirate websites. This law will not have the effect that it is intended to stop - and there is a goodly chance that it will make things worse actually, bc when people go off the well-trodden pathways, they will find themselves in the… darker corners of the internet.
Then again, I am not a lawmaker, so what do I know. I was just sharing my thoughts, in case they would be of interest to you.

It’s more important to keep kids away from unsolicited porn
That’s how I’ve seen porn for the first time, when I was around 7. From advertisements. Physical ones.
One Slovakian pawn shop chain called “Breva” used this as an advertising strategy. Their advertisement leaflets (put into mailboxes) had nudes. I remember I secretly collected those.
Of course, they were reported for this a couple times, but all that happened was that they got into the news a few times. (Read that as “Free advertising”) Based on news, it seems last occurrence of this was 2017.I mean, I remember its name because of that, so I guess it worked…
Sex as a whole should be demystified as a culture. I’m sure most people got into porn in general out of curiosity and the taboo nature of it certainly only makes it more enticing.
What we need is sex education that is so comprehensive/ in depth that it’s mind numbingly boring.
Make them memorize the PH value of the uterus and how they affect the alkili levels of the spermatosa.
Just bog them down with the details and then they will give so much less of a shit about sex/porn in general.
I was exposed to it when I was 10, back when the internet was just starting to take off. It’s not that big a deal…
Easy solution, watch your kids and don’t act like they are somebody’s else responsibility.
What’s your point? Are you advocating for increased rape here? What problem needs to be addressed? Kids watching porn? My kids don’t. I don’t know what this post has to do with that, but the Texas government isn’t protecting my kids here.
The point is that Texas is trying to reduce porn for minors, that is what this whole thing is about.
And you think this law is effective at doing that?
When did I say that?
When did you even answer a single question, my friend? I don’t think you are communicating honestly.

People like you make me want that feature where you can’t see replies with more than 10 downvotes over upvotes. God, I lost so many braincells reading about your idiotic opinions and your inability to accept reality…
And I would like a feature that filters out young people or people that have zero experience so their comments are useless. But yet here we are…
Plus when you consider Texas’ abortion policies…
Might as well rename the state the Republic of Gilead.

Don’t sex with texas.
This is dumb, Texas is the swinging capital of the US.
Can they please ban the whole world?
Just the parts with leaders that hate freedom.

For people who says banning porn increases rape. That really feels like correlation not causation.
Armenia for example is 4th country in terms of least rape Source Yet they ban pornography. World population review. Another would be Turkmenistan.
Big difference between reported rape and actual rape.
That being said, I hope for Turkmenistan and Armenia these numbers are for actual rape, good on them if it’s low.
Yes, I agree generalisation is bad. But, I wanted to raise a counterpoint to what everyone here was saying. The end goal for the betterment of all of us is still no rape (hopefully one day).
And nothing of value is lost.
TIL El Dorado really exists.
