Or they could consciously choose to not bypass the restrictions and to not consume pornography.

If they are seeking out vile material like incest, animal rape and sexualised murder then the blame lays entirely on them, not the government.

I mean what is even your point? Male depravity is unavoidable, and men are mindless ejaculators with no free will to curb abnormal sexual behaviours?

As far as I know, consumption of "socially-undesirable" pornography is correlated with a reduction in the corresponding acts themselves. Should we presume you're anti-depiction then, but pro actus reus?

They aren't, they're choosing bouncing boobs. The only sites left to them are the ones that were already illegal. Or a VPN service, which means the UK has no voice in the mainstream sites.

You turn people off the professional sites which can be held accountable and they end up on the dark side of the internet.

America saw the same thing when the puritans banned alcohol last century, people ran right into the arms of organised crime.

  • Like I said, these men could choose to not consume pornography at all. The responsibility for what they decide to access online lies with them.

    No-one is forcing them to buy a VPN and visit pornography websites.

    • Well no-one is forcing me to wear pink on Sundays. This mere fact is not exactly an argument for banning the practice, is it?
