So, it is a matter of politically correct and self preserving behavior now -- some sort of enter/exit screen to prevent accidental exposure to explicit content.
As an aside; In the late 1960s I was buying men's magazines over-the-counter when I was 14 and getting Danish nudie mags by mail order -- I just bought a money order. So, don't deceive yourself as to the effectiveness of this -- if minors want porn they will get some somehow.
The inglorious past is not relevant ... Since the internet, we live in a new world -- the cat is out of the bag. |
The fact that some find ways to circumnavigate the age restrictions is irrelevant. It s the same argument that the pro piracy types use. "You will never stop it completely so you should not try".
And from your story about buying porn mags when you were younger you are simply proving the point that restricting supply increases demand. The fact that we all remember a society where everything was a lot less sexualized (never mind swamped with free internet porn) only served to increase your desire to get hold of some porn !
