    Porn is a serious issue that leads to detrimental addictive behavior, unrealistic dating and sex expectations, and is only needed for the weakest, dumbest masturbators.

        No one is getting life in prison. China has less serve punishments than the US, and it’s practically impossible to get life in prison for non violent crimes unless you’re a billionaire.

          What do you think is an appropriate punishment? My inclination is “nothing,” since writing about sex is the same as writing about any other normal everyday thing people do, but I’m always curious what would be appropriate to people who see things differently. Fewer years? A fine? Community service? I am genuinely curious.

          What punishment should librarians in the US get for distributing written sex? They get a paycheck for this work. How much should Chuck Tingle have to pay, or how much time should he serve?

            Whatever psychologists recommend is enough to correct the obsessive behavior, obviously.

            Only America-brained victims think police action is primarily punitive.

              So you disagree with prison sentences for erotica writers, unless recommended by a psychologist?

                I agree with following a science first approach as China is doing to solve the problems the people have decided shouldn’t be allowed in society, yes.

                  Is the treatment described in the article non-punative, or is the source flawed?

                  I thought you said that psychologists should direct people to be healthier, not that society should decide what is allowed and not allowed. Coming from a perspective where I am a woman attracted to other woman, I am not interested in what society doesn’t like. My personal interest is in harm and the reduction of it, and science backed means of doing so.

                  Every government is untrustworthy and should be treated like a dangerous tool that can help or harm, depending on how the flawed humans who wield it choose to do so.

                  Could you share with me China’s science on the dangers of erotica? The science of it is deeply interesting to me, more so than any government position, or the erotica itself. I’m never going to think prison or fines or psychological torture are the correct responses to describing an act millions of people perform every day, but if there is evidence of harm, I’m interested in reading it. If I need to agonize over machine translations, I’m willing to give it a shot.

                    Are you intentionally misreading my responses in order to justify your bigotry, or do I need to swap to a different language to help you?

        …yes porn addiction does cause erectile dysfunction, which is why Viagra is popular in the US but not more moderated countries.

        You need to reread my comment, I’m not advocating for porn.

      At least you’re able to tell everyone your story. Personally I think that’s brave of you. Thank you
