Online pornography showing strangulation or suffocation is to be made illegal, as part of government plans to tackle violence against women and girls.

It follows a review which found depictions of choking were “rife” on mainstream porn sites and had helped normalise the act among young people.

Both the possession and publication of such material will be a criminal offence, under amendments to the Crime and Policing Bill currently going through Parliament.

    To banning all pornography…MRI imaging has revealed that porn addiction leads to changes in the brain, citing a direct correlation between more time spent consuming porn and a reduction in grey matter. [3] Critics of these findings have raised concerns about whether pre-existing conditions that contribute to grey matter volume loss have been properly accounted for. While it is true that scientific research needs to account for the whole picture, there is ample evidence that porn addiction in particular, negatively impacts the brain…just the tip of the iceberg…

      If you’re going to just copy paste some out of context slop you could at least just provide a link (he says, knowing that probably came right out of a “write me a paragraph proving that porn is bad” ChatGPT session).

      Or are you going to say that “[3]” citation notation in there was totally intentional?

      Maybe we should ban anything with a correlative (but not necessarily causative) link to decreased “grey matter” though; let’s start with social media. You’d clearly never use that, right?

      What an ass. It’s sad how you get your jollies being a sanctimonious troll (read my profile before you comment about my username) - all the while knowing how it’ll be received, but just can’t resist doing this because you’re positively addicted to the extremely brief dopamine hit from telling yourself that you’re so morally superior to all those dumping on your shitty takes. You’re so transparent when you refuse to even try backing up your statements (not that you likely actually could with any real validity).

      Good luck to you, as I’m done feeding your pathetic addiction. Consider yourself blocked.
