Honestly, I don't get the whole stigma behind porn, why is it such a bad thing? Without looking at porn until it was legal for me to see it I'd have not realised my sexual identity until... next year. It's a good thing as far as I'm concerned, helps you to understand who you are.
And don't even get me started on sex being legal at 16 but not being able to see porn until 18. :/

Don't call it that.burntheartist said:
OT : There must be some sort of misunderstanding. There's no way this is just going to *happen*, it'd have to go through procedures, and larger papers and radio would talk about it, not to mention TV news.
It might be a possibility, sure, but everyone's talking about it being this surefire thing.
And if was certain, it's no big deal. I'm 15 and go to school in Dundee. There the shopkeepers sell us smokes, booze and porn regardless of age. It's a grotty city with no standards, but I do love it.
Love this. Shortly after the ancient relics running the country who have clearly never used the internet in their life decided to put this forward, new articles come out of the BBC saying "experts say it will be hard to censor". Christ sign me up for their job I could do it with twice the efficiency while watching the porn they attempt to hide. As for the "protecting the children" excuse ive never heard such bs.
*cough* bullshit *cough*
Porn brings in too much revenue, even to the meager UK industry. I know the Tory government seem to want to punish people who aren't already millionaire toffs, but even they feel the need to jack their 2 inch man truncheons once in a while. Won't happen, like a lot of these scares.

This erosion of porn has been going on for a couple of years now here in Blighty. A couple of years ago, BDSM type porn (favoured by Bizarre Magazine) has been pretty much outlawed from what I can remember.
But like a lot of posts have mentioned, is that you can ban something - but all the government will do is drive it underground and create a thriving bootlegging scene.
Besides, in my day - we didn't have internet porn. We just had Page 3's and top shelf publications.

You, I agree with. But I must add: if you are a parent that fears your child having any kind of sexuality, or you know, being a HUMAN BEING, then don't let your egotistical nanny, the government, parent for you. Get off your ass and be a goddamn parent!ghstman said:

No ISP would be willing to have someone under 18 be the account owner anyway, since they can't legally be bound to contracts.CrystalShadow said:
So it's a moot point, whether they use their information or not, it's ALWAYS going to tell them "over 18"
Nothing's wrong with porn. It's being addicted to it.The Stonker said:
And I will make sure he has no friends by introducing him to video games and Magic the Gathering! Mwahahahaha! (No, really, I'll probably do what you said. It's what my dad did, sort of.)
Heres my opinion, wait the government doesnt give a shit...I'm sure that this being the internet that neither do all of you, you just want your porn am I right? I sympathize.
Anyway, isn't the human body built to be having sex at an "Early" age, like 12-15. Hell we're supposed to be raising familys and bringing home a wild boar for 3 days of food. Unfortunatly through several thousand of years of oppression, not helped at all by religion as in all of them it is sinful to have sex before marrage, we have had it implanted in our brain that, even though we want sex at that age, it is a bad thing to do and it is bad to see anything sexual.
I find this both fasinating and Sad.
Fasinating that the human race is willing to go against every primal earge in our body, simpily because a book or a bunch of old bastards sitting around a table wearing $5000 suits that YOU paid for tell you so. I mean, I found out "where babies come from" when i was 10...Through the dictionary believe it or not. When I was 11 I first viewed porn and while I love female genitalia just as much as the next guy, I'm not planning to rape someone. Hell my mum found out that I looked at porn not long after. She asked who it was, me or my brother. I immediatly owned up for not wanting my brother to get in trouble (Truth be told, he being older than me, probally had looked at porn before me). My mum just said "I understand, your curious. I just want you to know that in real life people dont do things like that" and enough said.
Sad because its the most common thing in nature, if there was no sex, there would be no people. I'm sure even a retard can figure that one out. But sex is mostly an act of love, life, and human impulse. Even quick flings and one-stands have their meaning. That meaning...is sex. We need it. Blocking sexual content on the internet is just going to damage our thinking even more, and this we cannot afford. The reason humanity seems so retarded is because of our damaged thinking. We need to start seeing sex in a positive light.
Treat sex and sexuality as natural, beautiful and pure, instead of allowing it to feel corrupted because of what the media or others say.
P.S I'm 15...just so you know.

Another thing...sorry if i missed a memo, but whats all this shit about doing an Australia? I live in Australia and i can go and watch some porn hassle free right now if I wanted. If my government has tried to block porn, they have done a disgraceful job. I'm just saying, cut the Australia crap. China, Japan and North Korea are the ones with the real censorship.
So...instead of the site asking if you are old enough to watch porn the service provider does it? Sounds like that will work well.
