High speed internet porn should be banned

I will like to add an argument that I did not address in the last round. Than I will move on to the rebutting my opponent's case. ----------------------------------------------- I would like to ask a few questions that my opponent should address. How are you going to ban porn? Will you allow the government to block porn sites? How far are you willing to go to block porn? Will you ban the use of searching up images of a female? What punishment will users face if they bypass said laws? We all know that there will be hackers and websites that will program their porn sites to block government oversight. What is the punishment for that group of people? Will the user that is watching porn face any punishment? Will the porn stars receive any punishment? I know that these are a lot of questions to answer, but they are essential for this debate. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rebuttal: "More motivation to meet girls -Not looking at girls in a sexual way -More vitality -More joy in life -More confidence -Started noticing real girls more -Porn induced fetishes disappeared -Sex is more exciting" My opponent uses the motivation argument for why one must not use porn. The problem with this argument is that my opponent offers no evidence to back this claim up. He speaks from personal experience that ending his viewings of porn helped him reach these goals. But, this is personal experience. His personal experience is different from other personal experiences. Everyone is different. I can speak from personal experience too. Whenever I feel the need to watch porn, I watch porn. I don't care. I just need to relieve myself. I wouldn't call it an addiction. I would call myself a perfectly normal individual. I am comfortable with talking to girls, and porn has not interfered with me dating. I have dated, and I have watched porn. The girlfriends that I had were perfectly okay with this. Everyone has a sex drive. But, that is the problem. Both personal experiences are completely different. My opponent, and I have clearly different sex drives, and different interactions with porn. Personal experiences should not count for this debate. Scientific research and empirical evidence should count. My other argument is that my opponent has not proved that the average individual will suffer from porn addiction. My opponent must define what porn addiction is. In fact, the empirical evidence that I cited previously showed the exact opposite. Rapists are far more likely to have been punished for watching porn, than non-rapists. Rape has declined in the modern era, because of the increase of porn. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Defense: "Gail Dines, a anti-pornography activist, interviewed several men in prison who had committed rape against children. " Child porn is very different. I do not support any viewings of child porn. But, that porn should not even be posted. The people that are making those videos should be punished. Child molestation is a crime. I hope we are both talking about porn as an act between consenting adults. One cannot compare the average porn viewer to a child molester. ----------------------------------------------------------- "One of the many benefits Nofappers point out is that they don't objectify women as much anymore as they did when they still watched porn. " Again, this is just from either the no fapping community, or just personal experiences. Your personal experiences and benefits are likely not to benefit someone like me. Above 80% of people in the western world admit to watching porn almost every month. A majority of people in each country watch porn. Each person is exposed to different benefits and different harms. Banning porn for everybody is authoritarian. If governments are allowed to block website, than what stops them from banning websites that show vulgar language. What stops governments from banning R-rated movies? What stops government from banning video games they feel is inappropriate. Once you allow governments to be able to censor websites, than you have opened a gateway for more sources of entertainment to be blocked, because some beurocrat believed that there was a problem. ------------------------------- I appreciate my opponent's response. I know that there are some people addicted to porn, and have problems with it. I know that there are some people that benefit from getting off of porn. But, everyone is different. The benefits that I receive from porn might completely be outweighed by the harms that my opponent received from porn. It is the same with video games. I know some people that are addicted to video games, and have basically stopped caring about there real lives. But, that does not bean we should ban video games just because there are people that suffer from it.
