Republicans are drunk with power. What a stupid fucking idea. There’s no chance of banning porn. Then they wouldn’t be able to jerk to Trans women and feel shame after.

Trans women are hot, in case that reads as though the shame is correct. It’s not.

There’s absolutely nothing they can do to ban porn, and the number of people who watch and view porn is so large they can’t arrest everyone, maybe just arrest their enemies?

Also this guy is obviously a pedophile or something, no one else spends this much time talking about porn

Someone should check these idiots' hard drives. I'm willing to bet they have a lot of nasty stuff that's already illegal on there.

[-] TheObviousSolution@lemm.ee 7 points 2 hours ago

It will be several orders of magnitude worse than prohibition era policies if it passes, although I suspect part of the impetus is because save for the ideologues they are better at competing and prospering in black markets than they are in open markets.

"If all porn got deleted from the internet there would only be one site left and it would read 'Give us back our porn' " - Dr Cox

[-] altphoto@lemmy.today 1 points 1 hour ago

If Dr Cox and Mr Cox cable got together for a video it would be two cox at the same time! Highly illegal to have two cox at the same time once this law passes. I need to find more cox at the same time videos to watch before I can't watch two cox at the same time anymore!

God I hope they do. It'll be hilarious to watch how quickly all the incels turn on Trump. Not to mention all the married Conservatives who hate their wives.

[-] dandelion 7 points 9 hours ago

yeah, except this is the first step in Project 2025 to genocide trans people:

https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/17416590241312149

Pornography, he writes:

[is] manifested today in the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children [. . .] It has no claim to First Amendment protection. Its purveyors are child predators and misogynistic exploiters of women. Their product is as addictive as any illicit drug and as psychologically destructive as any crime. Pornography should be outlawed (Roberts, 2023: 5).

This invocation of pornography is intentionally broad, vague, and amorphous. By equating trans issues (“transgenderism” and “transgender ideology”) with pornography, child abuse, and misogyny, this vision takes one step toward the outlawing of trans people altogether. Roberts (2023) goes on to detail the draconian and restrictive mechanisms necessary for eradicating pornography and all that comes with it: “The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned. Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered” (p. 5). Such extreme rhetoric signals a no-holds barred approach to regulating gender, sexuality, and privacy. Aware that more left-leaning states would be unlikely to arrest trans people on such counts, the document later details a wider plan through which the Department of Justice would intervene and prosecute any local officials not willing to bring criminal action against LGBTQ people (Hamilton, 2023: 553).

Honestly, I'm the idiot here for not immediately assuming this was somehow about attacking trans people.

[-] groolthedemon@lemmy.world 35 points 14 hours ago

You know what's crazy? The part about feeling shame. There's been some recent studies about a lot of previously diagnosed sex/porn disorders and addictions being tied to shame due to misinformed religious conservative upbringing. If anything, we need to be talking about and teaching more about sex. Not learning about it correctly leads to hangups and shame about the human body, love, and self love that makes you nearly incapable of showing or expressing yourself correctly. That's why all these conservatives are so fucking weird.

[-] eupraxia 3 points 45 minutes ago* (last edited 36 minutes ago)

I feel there's some parallels here with fat shaming. (and addiction shaming in general) People exposed to judgemental attitudes about their weight are measurably more likely to become obese, no matter their initial weight. Shaming can make one more fixated on their desire for food, and when that desire is in the front of one's mind, it raises the psychological effort required to resist the urge for comfort in food. That effort is not infinite and will eventually run out, which is why white-knuckling through a diet tends to not lead to permanent results.

Misinformed sex education teaches us to feel shame for sexual urges most everyone has, and in a similar capacity could make one more fixated on that urge. If one instead has a positive view toward their sexuality, they do not have to cope with insecurities that remind them of temptation toward something they're not supposed to do but would be immensely pleasurable. They just do it from time to time and it doesn't bleed into the rest of their life.

idk a bit personal but, I find accepting all parts of my sexuality (especially the parts that make me feel icky) has made me much less prone to risky behavior. shame makes it difficult to make good decisions. I'm a lot more clearheaded now and can just enjoy physical affection with someone I love. I can communicate what I'd enjoy and set appropriate boundaries. fantasy and reality are more well separated now. importantly, I am more satisfied at a baseline and therefore seeking out sex less on the whole.

Body and sex positivity works extremely well as a means of coping with primal urges, not only because it makes us feel better about parts of us that will never go away, but also because accepting them actually leads to better self-control and decisionmaking.

This has been understood for a long time. But I appreciate that you're bringing awareness to people who haven't yet heard. Cheers.

[-] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 13 hours ago

The lowest my self esteem had ever been was when I was religious. I'd avoid porn and masturbation for months on end, 6-8 etc, but eventually I'd get a little too turned on and "succumb" to it. I remember hearing peers discuss it as something disgusting, and I considered myself too impure to consider having a relationship.

I won't say my self esteem is amazing now, but I feel much better about myself, and don't think of myself as some terrible sinner who doesn't deserve happiness.

[-] groolthedemon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Thank you for sharing that. I'm glad to hear you're feeling better. Just remember that no one is perfect. The older I get the more I reflect back to times or abuses that may have hindered my emotional intelligence. Getting to the root of my own self loathing or anger has made me realize I don't need to continue feeling that pain of the past and bringing it to the present. It's a struggle but I try and just be honest with myself and remember that I am the one that needs to know myself better, learn to rewire that past trauma, and move on with better senses and awareness through my experiences. Let the present mold your future and keep fighting the good fight.

They are also scared to touch their own buttholes to clean them properly. If you talk to any of them, they are against using bidets.

[-] JennyLaFae 1 points 6 hours ago

If you're not willing to touch your own butthole, you shouldn't be having sex. It works for both generally and in the moment.

[-] SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 1 points 9 hours ago

You guys touch your buttholes? You don't scrub them with a loofa until they bleed?....huh.

[-] plantmoretrees@lemm.ee 19 points 13 hours ago

It always comes out the people writing and advocating for these end up the sickest and most twisted sexual deviants out there

This will backfire spectacularly. Red states are bigger fans of porn than blue.

If you think the porn industry is exploitative and abusive now, just wait until they push it all underground.

It would be for 10 hours, then Trump would remove the bill and be seen as an hero. As usual.

Is it because they know that Russian porn is better than American porn?

At this point, US politics has gone far beyond the point where we can make jokes about morons voting for the face-eating leopard party. Anybody who didn't vote for Kamala Harris because she wasn't critical enough of Israel, didn't do enough for LGBTQ rights, didn't have enough left wing policies, etc. is now reaping what they sow.
