Thread: Sexuality

Apparently, no less than 2 dozen countries around the world make porn illegal. Now how can this ever be explained - like you cannot watch on a screen what you actually do every day? That's absurd. Now, I think I can make a guess - just look closer at those dark red countries. With very few exceptions, those are countries that don't really favor democracy or their people's well-being, but rather carry out tyrannies of one man, or a limited group of men. Obviously, those tyrants need total control over people, and a mechanism to prevent them from realizing that they're better off without the dictatorship. And as both Freud and Orwell wrote, sexuality is human's strongest instinct. So, control over people's sexuality gives them control over people, so they speak. Now, I may be right or wrong, but I think the "gay issues" in many countries have similar background.

Err... a lot of those countries seem pretty religious (China being an obvious exception). Isn't a more likely explanation for the restrictions is that they believe porn is a sin?

I seriously doubt there are many dictators worried that porn will lead to the people realizing that they are better off without a dictatorship.

Exactly how would this work? So people would watch porn and then...? I don't understand your reasoning.
