The Supreme Court on June 27 upheld a Texas law requiring pornographic websites verify users are at least 18, in a case that pitted concerns about protecting minors against worries about violating the First Amendment rights of adults.

The court split 6-3 along ideologically grounds with the three liberal justices dissenting.

Eighteen other, largely conservative states have enacted similar laws in recent years as access toa growing cache of online pornography has exploded and the material has become more graphic.

Maybe if you so-called prudish fucks ever had an ounce of self-control it wouldn't be exploding so much, would it?

It's just like how the places with the most anti-trans sentiment consume the most trans pornography. It's all about removing the temptation because they have zero self control. "I can't be trusted to not spend every waking moment jerking off because deep down I'm a filthy depraved fucking cretin, so I must take away joy from everyone else who might use pornography responsibly!"

Especially now, when Palantir is making a giant database on US citizens from Federal government data, why would anyone feel comfortable identifying themselves to a pornography site? To be on some list someday that will be used by the religious police to jail you for the crime of jerking off to the "wrong" thing? Give me a break.

On the other hand, jerk off as much as you want to. Jerking off doesn’t hurt anyone, go for it.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply it was a bad thing. It's only a bad thing when you want to limit others because of your own lack of self control as a means to control yourself.

Well if you do it too much, you can indeed hurt yourself.

Hell, one time I had been having so much sex so frequently that my dick literally got swollen from too much abuse. Kind of freaked me out at first.
