Pornography should be regulated

Pornography should be regulated in my opinion. To regulate such a thing, I think we need to consider why we should do it first. We should regulate it because I am of the idea that it would make porn more accepted in society. We can begin to regulate it by putting up restrictions. If a site wants to be able to display any and all kinds of porn, it should pay a certain fee. If another site wants to display only certain kinds of porn and commit to only these types, then it would pay a fee of its own but a lesser amount. The same can be done for stores that sell porn as well. We are essentially taxing porn. I think doing this would ensure that no outrageous porn is created or at least get into the public eye.

If people are worried about prositution, regulating porn could cause an increase in the amount of porn available to people which mean prositution can go down. Prositution could go down since most people become more satisfied with their urges through porn. So, I think regulation of porn can reduce prositution. 

I would like to say that porn is a way to express yourself so it is part of the freedom of expression. Although that means offensive porn should be treated as “hate speech”. Essentially any porn that displays aggression towards a certain race or gender for example can be subjugated under “hate speech”.

I think protecting children is the hardest part of this all. However, if we use the approach in the first paragraph where we enforce a price. We can also enforce that the sites/brick stores ask that the person accessing this site be of age. 

Now I think the government should regulate porn. I think this is too big for society to run it. Like I said earlier, the government can regulate it by introducing a pricing system. The government can do this because they hold a good deal of power.

Of course with regulations of price, there can also be other regulations. Such as wearing condoms. The regulation can be similar to, if everyone is okay with no condoms then no condoms indeed. However, if anyone is not okay with it, especially the one being penetrated, then condoms should be used.
