"...is known to the state of Texas to cause..."

Well... porn probably causes less abortions so they should be actively encouraging it.

You can't expect internal consistency among conservatives. If stopping abortions was a top priority, they wouldn't be so anti-gay. It's all about controlling outgroups.

[-] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Oh, I know. I just like calling them on the shit.

Probably get a "gods will" reply or something.

I don't think repressed gay people have that many abortions, do they?

That's why I was usually jealous of my gay buddies, they have the fun practicing to get pregnant without the risks of 18 years to life that comes from breeders practicing a little too much...

Solution, give gay women dicks and gay men wombs.

This is a bad solution but im sure some kinky ass motherfuckers will enjoy it.

Hsee? That's why repressing gay people works! /s

No no, you see, porn is bad because it keeps men from focusing on snaring a woman and making sure she fulfills her obligation to produce worker bees for God and capitalists. Also, sex is bad, unless you're a guy. If you're a women, sucks to suck I guess, get married and make babies.

There’s two schools of thought about this. One is that porn extinguishes sexual desire and Poe replaces sex, and the other that it only feeds the desire until people actually go out and have more sex. There’s competing studies on the topic.

[-] Embargo@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Porn is not a substitute for sex though.

[-] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

No, but if it stops me having a drunk hookup with a random it has the same effect.

Good old steak v hotdogs arguement

[-] Embargo@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Are you saying horny people wouldn't fuck because porn exists? It's a masturbatory aid, not masturbation itself. I cannot for the life of me think of an occasion where it would affect reproduction.

"I'm not going to go out tonight, guys. I'm going to watch porn instead."

"I as a 16 year old would rather watch porn than get laid"

"I know we're really hitting it off and it seems like we're going to bang but I'd rather go whack off to a few videos on the internet "

Your comparison is more like hotdog vs a fork.
