As if the pedophile cannot be bad enough, there comes kiddie porn. Porn that shows children either having sex or showing off their bodies. This post will really be a continuation of the last on of the pedophile.
Is porn, in general, bad for you? No. From what we know porn does not have any negative effects on people. It does not necessarily lead to a bad marriage. It may, but only if the wife is some authoritarian piece of garbage that objects to her husband enjoying himself. Other couples can enjoy in watching porn together. So it is not really so much of whether porn is good or bad for you but whether or not you have a positive view of porn or a negative view of porn. If you have a negative view of porn then it may lead to bad consequences, but that is not porn to blame, only your authoritarian views that need to be blamed here.
I know that porn is an issue that a lot of feminists obsess over about. They blame porn on that it represents women in a bad way. Some of them go so far as to argue that when men see shaved women in porn it will lead to kiddie porn because children have no hair. But those are the really crazy feminists who say that. Whether or not it really represents women in a bad way is a different topic that I do not want to discuss here, but all I can say is that these feminists have no idea what they are talking about because they have a negative view of porn to begin with and so they perceive it as bad from their own point of view.
From what I have heard porn actually reduces the incidents of rape. Of course, there is no humane way to possibly test this hypothesis but it makes sense. Because if rapists have access to porn then they will find ways to relieve themselves. And so they will have less of a desire to go after women. I know someone will counter me and say that what I said is really the other way around. Porn will induce rape because if rapists see porn they will have more of a desire to find women to rape. However, this argument does not make sense from introspection. Just consider yourself. If you stay away from porn and stay away from masturbation then your mind will be excessively focused on sex. If you are a guy you will be getting a lot more erections. It is only when you masturbate and watch porn does this desire go away (at least temporary). No one who masturbates will feel the need to go and have sex immediately after finishing. So from that observation it does not make sense to say that porn induces rape, only that it reduces the desire of rapists to hunt women.
So porn is actually good. It is good for the soul. It is good for couples. It can make you money. And it probably reduces crime. You can even enjoy in making your own porn. By the way, if you have your own porn tapes, send them to me, I be happy to see them, and then post them online.
So what about kiddie porn? The problem with kids is that they are not adults to enter into such porn agreements. It is not that I care about children. It is just that children are not really able to enter into contracts with adults because they have no idea what they are doing. So in that instance it is hard to defend to filming of kiddie porn. I believe that I can come up with cases under which filming kiddie porn would be defendable. For example, suppose the kid is so poor that he will die and the only way he has to get money is being in porn. Under that horrible instance I believe kiddie porn would be defendable because it is the best out of the bad choices. However, that would not be a defense of kiddie porn because I am only focusing on a specific kind of kiddie porn. I need to focus on kiddie porn in and of itself and so I do not see a way to defend kiddie porn.
But there is a kind of kiddie porn that can be defended. And that is animated kiddie porn. It could be computer animations of naked children and children having sex with other children. Or it could be animations of children being raped by a 60 year old guy. Or it could be animations of little Catholic boys being tortured through the act of sodomization with hot metal rods up their anus. Whatever, it is all fine. Really strange, but fine I guess. Because no one is actually being harmed. No child is being harmed. No person is being harmed. It is all make believe ... like God.
There can also be a market for kiddie porn. Maybe Google would start participating in making kiddie porn too. There would be magazines that pedophiles can buy that will present kiddie porn. Though this will most likely not happen because of bad perception of people and the fact that the demand for kiddie porn is really really low.
Furthermore, as explained, I believe that kiddie porn will reduce the number of child molestation cases. The pedophiles have nowhere to go to to enjoy in their pedophile ways. Because of that they are more likely to go after children. But if they had access to kiddie porn then I am sure it will reduce the number of cases of child molestation.
And yes that should be protected by freedom of speech. If you want to know what constitutes freedom of speech and what does not you can read what I wrote back here. There is also one more issue that needs to be addressed. If kiddie porn becomes illegal and it becomes illegal for people to have kiddie porn then we are legislating thought crimes. All what kiddie porn is, is a mental activity in your own head. To say it is illegal to have kiddie porn or watch kiddie porn is to say that it is illegal to reach certain mental states. And it is in that way that it is entire non-sense to ban kiddie porn. Thought cannot and should not be controlled.

Clearly there's no argument on the making. The issue is the secondary market. What, precisely, is the crime committed by the person receiving the material later? It's not like a fur coat, where you can talk about having to kill another one to sell another coat. Files can be copied ad infinitum. That isn't even to talk about the truly absurd cases where a person is prosecuted through no fault of their own.
ReplyDeleteI find the idea that porn decreases the actual activity absurd in the extreme.
ReplyDeletePromotion of fantasy and desire only increases the actual activity, not decreases it. Not only is it entirely logical but there is research behind it too.
What your suggesting is akin to the suggestion that viewing a cookbook or a display of lusciously presented food would actually decrease the consumption of that food. Of course it wouldn't and the advertisers know it wont, that's why they do it.

Watching porn is not similar to watching food. When people watch porn they masturbate and get rid of their desire, at least for some time. Watching food, the desire is not satisfied, and so the person becomes more hungry. If people watched porn without masturbating then I would agree with you, but that is not how porn works.
When it comes to porn and how often sexual crimes happen, I think one of two is most likely. Either there is no connection between the two at all, which may turn out being true. Or that people who watch porn are less likely to do sexual crimes.
Whether kidde porn increases or decreases child molestation is irrelevant to whether or not it should be banned. Even if it did, which does not appear to be so, it still needs to be left alone. Because if you use that argument against porn then you can use the same argument against regular porn and say it increases rape. And then you can use the same argument against murder movies and murder fiction which encourage people to kill. And so forth.
