False. I enjoy your writings, but you're wrong here. The libertarian argument might work in abstract, but when my little cousin and all his classmates have seen hardcore pornography before he's 8 years old - this is no longer about grown-ups, this is a huge social problem.

Yes, It is technically hard - though not impossible - to ban porn completely. But the objective here is precisely to make it go underground and out of the reach of kids and incels. It gives a completely distorted idea of the sexual act and human intimacy to the people who have not yet done this. It's totally distructive for youth, there is enough data. They're better off going to a brothel and have a real human interaction, instead of craving ever-more extreme fantasies or turning gay. Not to mention the human costs of the porn industry itself.

Would you like to live in a society in which getting gangbanged by infinity ***** is a career-choice your daughter should consider?

I recommend looking into the Online Safety Bill that the UK Government has just passed under the guise of 'protecting children':
