Is Porn Ever Going to Be Banned?

I was just wondering, with the new make up of the SCOTUS. Will porn ever be banned in the United States?

Just to be clear, Roth in 1957 supposedly started the trend of loosening the restrictions on porn in the US. They never officially legalized it. Then in 1969, with Stanley v. Georgia, 394 U.S. 557, the US Supreme Court recognized for the first time that the government couldn't outlaw mere possession of obscene material. The case itself is interesting, because when the Georgia police searched the residence of Robert Eli Stanley, they weren't even looking for obscene material, but bookmaking apparatus.

I'm not exactly clear on what the Originalists' on the Supreme Court's view of pornography and obscenity is. Plus they follow a process called super precedents that basically all the so-called "liberals" like Ruth Bader Ginsburg have been following for many years anyways.

The make up the court is unusual now. Along with the four "liberals", there's Chief Justice Roberts, who believed that Roe v. Wade should be upheld, not because he's pro-choice (his pro-life credentials are impeccable—anyone remember his contentious nomination process under George W. Bush?). Gorsuch can surprise you sometimes, though not always in a good way. He supports limited gay rights, like Roberts, but voted with the conservatives, but voted against Roe. And then there is Thomas, who is very "pro-First Amendment" (fill in your own jokes).

So will the Supreme Court ever bring back the draconian restrictions on porn and obscenity? And when may this happen?

 

Unlikely - unless we get a strong majority of females on the bench (like 7 of 9)

And, unfortunately, that is a possibility. If we get a majority of elected politicians being female - and we're getting closer every day - the senate could become female-centric and then heaven only knows what may befall.

 

How are they going to ban porn from the internet? Can't be done.

 

I've lived long enough to know that whatever I think can't be banned, sure can. I just hope before it happens, I can finally find some real amateur dark web sites. So tired of the commercial sites with actors... Guess as I'm getting older, "hell I am old" I prefer real down to earth people. I've looked and looked for real amateur sites to no avail. I know for sure there are couples who like to show off, just can't find them yet. Lol.

 

stripchat / xhamsterlive. they're the same site and there's real amateurs.

 

Pornhub, Xhamster, XNXX, XVIDEOS- all definitely have scores of amateurs contributing to our viewing pleasure

 

Yes they do, and that's normally where I find myself. I just wish, I could find, private couples that video just for their and a select few viewing pleasure. I've meet a few guys online that liked to show off their wives.

 

Thanks, I've ran across xhampsterlive, but haven't joined. I frequent their main site. Guess I need to go look again.
Thanks

 

Banning internet porn effectively would require a dictatorship. They would have to make running a porn website a felony with a minimum 5-year sentence. And they would have to strictly track everyone's internet usage and give severe penalties to anyone caught surfing such a website. A cure worse than the disease.

 

I'd rather have Covid....

 

I feel like the civil unrest would be unprecedented if they were to ban pornography.

 

Think of all the extra capacity the internet would have with 50% less traffic from porn...

 

I'd join up.

 

To take part in the civil unrest would be admitting that you're hooked on porn, so most would wuss out. As for those who do rise up (no pun intended) what would their slogan be? Perverts unite?

 

I don't think so. that's like saying everyone at a gay pride event is gay, or everyone at a woman's rights rally is a woman. everyone knows that porn is a wonderful outlet for sexual frustration that prevents a LOT of sex crimes.

all this puritanical political divide is created by one side and their fake-ass, goalpost-moving sky-daddy nonsense.. literal fairy tales.
