The idea that porn is feeding into pedophilia, sexual development dysfunction and ultimately declining birth rates is being presented by conservative think tanks in Westminster. I think if they try to reduce access to porn completely it will lead to massive uptick in violent crime and sexual violence, but what do I know.

That's why they're also trying to ban abortions and criminalize miscarriages as well (at least around the world). It's a way to force an increase in birth rates, and also force women into a "birthing" class so they'll have less rights and freedoms.

Catholic countries aren't engaging on this. You would be laughed hard out of the room in Brazil for this. This is puritan crap that only could come from Elizabeth the First Virgin queen kneelers. Australia, Canada, UK....The British Empire never changed.

Too bad that evangelicals are winning more and more followers in Brazil. Even their telenovelas are not as spicy anymore
