Really. And how exactly is porn harmful to one's health?

As with everything, excess of it is bad for your health.

It's official: Pornography is a public health crisis. At least in Utah.

The state proclaimed as much Tuesday after Gov. Gary Herbert (R) signed off on a resolution that deems pornography "a public health hazard" that can result in wide-ranging harm to individuals and society at large.

"We hope that people hear and heed this voice of warning," Herbert said at a signing ceremony. "For our citizens know that there are real health risks that are involved and associated with viewing pornography."

The resolution, passed through the state legislature, recognizes a need for education, research, prevention and changes to policy to address the issue.
In his speech Tuesday, Herbert likened pornography to drugs and alcohol in its capacity to "tempt our youth."

"We also want our young people to know that there's a particularly psychological and physiological detriment that comes from addiction to pornography," he said.

Those kids are gonna be some scary freak bastards.   You never ever demonize sex.  it never works out well. 

1. Porn is the safest sex there is.  Its much safer than polygomy which is perfectly fine in Utah... 

2. The reason why everyone is addicted to porn is becuse its one of the only pleasurable things about Utah...

3.  Maye if they weren't so backwards they could get laid.

4.  Utah is a public health crisis.  How about that.

What did Utah do you? The hate seems to go beyond simple indignation.



Porn can cause people to have erectial-dysfunction when they're older, but that's about it. Otherwise, I don't see it as a big deal.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Let me guess, one of the health hazards is that you'll go blind if you look at porn, right?

Well that's true and it makes it obvious that the Porn industry is in fact self regulating, since blindness and watching porn don't  mix .

They should instead direct their efforts toward, all those blind people using their super sensitive touch to feel up women in strip clubs.



Research shows Video games  help make you smarter, so why am I an idiot

You have to realize that when you and I were growing up, we had to deal with shitty dial-up internet and we didn't have access to internet as readily as today.

I realized that I could get hundreds or thousands of photos of porn, on dial-up, back then. And nothing happened. It depends on the person. Because the accessability has always been there. Even as far as playboy mags, in the past. Nothings really changed. Getting one mag. Or 1000 videos. Same thing.

Except you're wrong. Nowadays you carry a device in your pocket that you can flip at any given time and stream whatever porn video you want to watch whenever you want. You also have easy access to millions of videos that fulfill any fetish you have at any given time. Carrying around magazines and looking at photos does not give your brain the same dopamine stimulation as watching videos does. Not only that, but you are constantly given exposure to different women/men as porn sites refresh every minute which means your brain never reaches a plateau in dopamine release, something that eventually happens if you look at the same stimulant (in this case a magazine) multiple times. This over-stimulation if repeated vigorously over a course of many years can eventually lead to an addiction. There is an entire research dedicated to how digital pornography can be addictive and how today's digital age makes it much easier for young children to become susceptible to porn addiction. Yes I agree with you in that porn has always existed, but the access to it today is far easier than it was when you and I were children.

And of course it depends on the person. Just like how not everyone who drinks alcohol becomes an alcoholic. However, with how pornography is becoming easier to access, it is becoming more important for parents to share with their children the knowledge of safe usage. There is nothing wrong with giving exposure to an addiction that exists that society quite frankly looks down upon and ignores.



Addiction to pornography? Well, VR will be a sure hit in Utah then.



Well it's true. watching too much porn can fuck your mind up.

Utah is full of mormons and that is enough to dislike the state for many people in the United States.  It has awesome snowboarding/skiing and parks but that is about it.  Remember Cliven Bundy?  The guy that got into a standoff with the BLM because he wouldn't pay for grazing rights on public lands.  He even had the nerve to say he didn't believe in the USA yet the dumbass wrode around with USA flag.  He also said he knew a thing or two about the negro race.  Granted I believe that was lands covering Northern Nevada (which the state was made out of Utah territory) but he is mormon.  There are smart mormons but if one can believe Jesus came to America then one can believe anything.

 


I respect minority religious groups like the Amish that don't try and make others conform to their way of life.  They stick to their communities and don't try to force others that aren't their religion.
