Minimum age for being in Porn should be 21 or older...

[Chernosoth]

There are many scumbags and mentally ill people in porn. Some become mentally ill with the exploitation and drug use. I can't recommend any age for starting.

If somebody owns a dozen guns it's nobodys business but his if an 18 year old wants to get into porn it's still nobodys business maybe you should take care of your own.

Literotica isn't just a place for people to come for sexual gratification, it's also a place for people to discuss sex-related topics. And a discussion of what should be the minimum age to perform in Porn is certainly a relevant topic. I'm sorry you don't enjoy the discussion. Perhaps you should make haste in leaving it.

Not what it is, but what it should be. Read my quote in your post

what it should be is your opinion and don't mean much what it is is fact if you really want to change it maybe talk to the people that make the laws.

"looked at on an 18 year old by 18 year old basis??" Hmm.. Is that what happens at bars? Are bartenders legally allowed to serve some under-age patrons but not others based on their personal assessment of their maturity?

Of course it isn't. If you're not 21, you're not to be served alcohol.

And it's laughable you accuse me of repetition instead of giving me credit for starting a thread about something other than Hotwifes, Cuckholding, or "Is my 5" penis big enough to please a woman?"

I’m not talking about what everyone else posts… why would I use that as the measuring stick? This is your second attempt at telling the rest of the world that it must do what makes you feel safe. The other thread lasted a couple days but died out pretty quickly. I am curious why you get to be the one that makes the decisions for everyone else?

Why not simply not partake of porn depicting those between 18 and 21? Me? I’m not much of a drinker. Lots of reasons for that but I’m not telling everyone who’d like to get drunk not to. There’s a range of consequences they face for making the decision to drink, a decision they get to make for themselves. By law people get to make this decision for themselves at age 18. As I said a moment ago, no one is forcing you to watch porn you don’t like.

I don't have an opinion on those who have worked in porn. You've referenced my position on who I would employ, a former porn worker or a gun owner, and I made my position perfectly clear

The position was clear enough, I was hoping for insight regarding the logic. You may have a very defensible argument.

The logic? I'd trust someone who has sex for me iney over someone who thinks private gun ownership is a good idea. Sex workers aren't known for random slayings of complete strangers

Actually this thread has lasted far longer than I expected. And how would raising the minimum age for being in porn make me feel safe? I'm a 60 year-old man. You need to do a better job of explaining yourself.

What you describe as "telling people what to do" I would describe as as advocating for a change in public policy (ie., Laws) to better protect our young people. I have a right to raise this issue and it's appropriate to do it here at Literotical.

I'll say it again.. I enjoy porn. But I fucking HATE clicking on something only to find it looks like a 18 year old girl who is too young to understand the impact of what she is doing.

This is not mere conjecture.

Where do you stop with raising age limits??

Used to be the government said you are an adult at 18. 18 year old's could vote, enlist in the military, buy cigarettes, alcohol, and when then got into trouble went to prison. Not juvenile, big boy prison.

Now 18 year old's can vote, enlist in the military, and go to prison. But can't drink or smoke. They can buy a long gun but can't rent a car.

I guess the point I'm trying to make is if you want to raise the minimum age, raise it for EVERYTHING. Voting, military, smokes, alcohol, prison, etc

Don't you people read the thread?

There ALREADY is a minimum age for being in Porn! ..It's 18! I'm arguing it should be 21 or older! I'm not advocating for adding another age restriction - I'm advocating for raising a current one to an age of much greater emotional maturity.

And besides, is it really challenging your band-width to have a handful of different ages? ..Why must it be just one age for all things? Because it's easier to remember?

Why do I read only men discussing restrictions for women again? Just wondering.

Well, if I waited only for women to respond, I'd be waiting forever. 95% of the people on Lit are men, and probably 75% of the people claiming to be women are men, too.

That said, I'd love to hear from women on the subject.

I was hoping for something that separates the gun from the violent person who also uses knives, cars, gasoline,…etc.
I’m more interested in the “why” than the “tool” used, but thank you for your reply. I’m not questioning your answer.

On the “sex for money” issue, you may have read my profile (or not) but my wife was a high school math teacher and had a secret life as a local prostitute. She got arrested (after ~ 5 or so years) and was immediately fired from the teaching position. She knew the potential consequences of her actions, she enjoyed it, and we have lived with the consequences. However, it would be very challenging to prove that she was not a good math teacher during all those years. Lot’s of data points to prove she was good at teaching math to teens.

First of all saying that porn with 18-21 year old women is for men who "are sexually insecure men who fantasize about having partners who are too sexually inexperienced to know just how badly they suck at sex" is bullshit.
Not defending men here, but the women.
When I was 18 I was very experienced and most women I know were too. Maybe that is an American thing, but in Europe it's different. We are pretty good at fucking at 18

Number 2. If you can go to prison you should be able to do everything else in the world too. Before you change any age limit, change the one for prison. That should be the guideline.
Can you go to prison? If yes, then you can drink alcohol.
Can you go to prison? If yes, then you can do porn.
Can you go to prison? If yes, then you can do whatever.

Not sure I am making any sense here, I am tired.
But tired of men deciding what women can and can not do.

That I can totally buy. They know what they are talking about, thank you.
But you also need to raise the age then for buying guns and going to prison.

Then let them bring this into legistlative. Let's hope, the men there will let the women discuss and decide.

I agree, but I wound not intertwine these.. Raising the minimum age to be in Porn should happen even if raising the age to purchase a gun or going to prison is not. We can't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

Meanwhile, any man who takes an interest in watching barely legal porn should recognize the grotesqueness of his behavior and do some serious soul-searching.

My wife knows I look at porn and is fine with it, in part because she knows I have NO interest in "barely legal" porn or any other kind of porn that embraces violence, misogyny or non-consent. If she caught me looking at that sort of porn she would be deeply saddened and disappointed.

So.... be a good man and don't watch porn at all. Because you never know if it is consensual or not. You know, this is independent from any age.

I’m curious where you look at porn. The sites I visit provide at least a clip from the video. Most will even provide clips if you hover over the pic. How are you possibly surprised by the content of things you’ve been able to preview? I mean if all you’re looking at are links someplace it’s one thing, and it’s probably time to peruse sites that give previews, but if you are looking at better sites there shouldn’t be surprises. Hell most video sites allow you to filter what you are looking for. Filtering makes it REALLY difficult to be surprised by content.

You ventured back to the morality of looking at porn with women between the ages of 18 and 21. You tried this in the other thread too. As was explained there, moral absolutes are really hard to come by. It’s hard to get much farther than “generally A is a morally good act”, there so many exceptions though.

why are you hell bent on shielding some from the consequences of their actions by making sure NO ONE is able to make a decision? And why is the only option for that lack of a decision the one you want?

You are aware that the really bad outcomes from sex work exist no matter the age of entry right? Why not accept that and say no porn at all? You seem angry with the exploitation of an 18-21 year old adult but are perfectly fine with that exploitation once they turn 21.

Finally, as was pointed out by another poster…. Why are you only concerned with women? Why do they need your protection but not young men? You will counter, of course, with the age limit applies to everyone. That’s true and wonderful, but you use it to not explain why you only want to limit the choices of women based on your posts.

I have no idea what you're trying to say here... It seems like you're saying that because we can't do a perfect job of preventing impulsive, immature teens from ruining their lives by being in a porno, that we shouldn't even try. ... Yeah, fuck that. ..That's bullshit.

And I DO think the rules should apply to both young men and women and have stated this throughout the thread. But to suggest that recruitment of men 18-21 is as rampant as it is for women is totally belied by the facts.


Did you not read this link?

Open letter from Porn actresses regarding minimum age

And no, not all of the links here on Literotica sufficiently inform the viewer of what they are opening. I enjoy some of the pics in the Regular People and Mom Bodies thread... But some links take you to women of clearly questionable age. Fucking gross. You grown ass men should know you're sexually irrelevant to woman that age and quit fantasizing about them.
