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.
I’ve always thought it interesting that people say that porn leads to people being incapable of relationships.
It’s like, no, obviously plenty of people who watch porn are capable of being in relationships.
The reality is that people who ALREADY have trouble with relationships use porn a lot.
Similarly, drugs don’t tend to be step one in a person’s life being messed up. The drugs are usually the coping mechanism, not the cause.
And yet, they ban all drugs, rather than putting time and effort to making people’s lives better.
You want to reduce porn usage? Have mandatory comprehensive social interaction classes for EVERYONE, including dating, including concepts like consent and flirting and asking people out. It should be a class that EVERY student has, and it should be EVERY year. So no one gets left behind.
You want to reduce drug usage? Have those mandatory social interaction classes AND have classes to cover things that people typically struggle with in life. Connect psychologists, financial organizations, and other professions with educators so that people in those professions can anonymously give data about the issues that people struggle with in life, and work to make sure that classes to deal with those aspects of life happen BEFORE the times when those issues normally tend to pop up in people’s lives. Coping classes need to be mandatory.
Drug use will fall through the floor if people are taught coping strategies before they need them in as many areas of life as possible.
Totally. We really just have a lot of mental health problems in this country tied to not seeing therapy as a real tool to aid in building better foundations that lead to better outcomes by being able to build those emotionally intelligent muscles that might get miswired otherwise. Everyone has baggage and no one is perfect, but when we build a world and society that looks down on people with trauma, abuse, or bad/unlucky experiences rather than raising them up we just end up with a sicker and sicker society. We should never be putting people down or outright banning things. Rather, we should be looking at society, its systems, its flaws, and its good points and be trying to better understand it and integrating as much of the human experience into it as we can. Everything can be bad for you if you do enough of it, but it is about finding real restraint through better understanding rather than shaming it all away. At least, that is how I see the world, or at least a better one than the mess we seem to be caught up in now.
