Censorship on porn is not going to do anything. I don't think it messes up your relation. In some cases it can even boost relationships.

And what if porn was censured? There would be a lot more crazy people on the streets.

You're ignoring the fact that porn is actually having a negative effect on society. I'll not dismiss the potential for good, but it's actually quite damaging to young men right now.
Please. Knee-jerk reactions like this don't help anybody. I didn't mention censorship, let alone advocate it (and I think censoring porn would do more harm than good).

Historically porn wasn't that available, and no, you didn't have lots more "crazy people on the streets".

In fact, judging from crime rates, depression, substance abuse and such, modern societies are far crazier than 50 years ago.
