I love how the rationale for porn bans changes with the times: First it was bad because of religion/morality. Then the world changed a bit, people aren't as religious, so it became bad because the performers are trafficked and exploited. Then the world changed a bit, OnlyFans turned the tables, actually empowering and enriching performers. Now, porn is bad because of... "hyper stimulants"?? I wonder what the next reason is going to be.

It is reframing of the same underlying reason to ban porn wrt. Hyper stimulants and religion - said in layman terms, people don't fuck when they can wank to porn. It is mostly a sociatal pressure to keep men motivated regardless of framed as hyper stimulants or religious reasons (which you can buy into or not).

The trafficking is another category, though, and I think still very active.
