All my life I have never questioned why porn is illegal, I have just accepted that it is. But the other day I was sitting around wondering why the government made porn illegal.

I don't actually know the real reason, but I assume at one time porn was not illegal, then some religious lobby group petitioned the government to make it against the law for people under 18 years old to buy porn. And so it has been since then.

This got me thinking...what is so bad about people under 18 seeing naked people having sex?

Porn is NOT illegal, according to our own Supreme Court. "Obscenity" is illegal, and unfortunately, according to the Supreme Court, each community gets to define that. There are a few "patently obscene" (illegal) things: kiddie porn, bestiality, scat, and (I'm told) fisting. I think rape (which might include bondage + sex) may be on the list as well. However, your average boinking shot isn't illegal unless jury in Chicken Neck, Ark., says so, Which they might.
