I'd rather see America and Britain adopting the "Nordic model" like Canada, Ireland and France already did. Under this model, selling sex remains legal, but pimps and johns are treated as criminal offenders. There are valid humanist reasons to curb porn and prostitution, not only religious ones. Who deserves more pity: a john who didn't get the sex he wanted, or a girl who has to use drugs in order to survive this "job"?
Virtual reality sex bots will be available in the near future for men who cannot get laid in real life, making exploiting women completely unnecessary.
As of now, I think laws against porn and prostitution are not valid or necessary. This lies in the realm of virtue. That said, cities have zoning laws so that certain types of business and activity are located in appropriate places. I don't look to bots to replace prostitutes. Virtue, not virtual.
Our society makes lots of money using sex to sell products, and popular culture glorifies it. And not just since the sixties. At the same time, our society criminalizes sex too much and imposes penalties for sex offenses that don't fit the severity of the crimes. Some time or another, we need to create a proper balance between promotion of sex and regulation of sex. Maybe that will happen when we get rid of guns too. Oh well, I'm not holding my breath for either.
There are more people addicted to porn than to alcohol worldwide. Ignore this at your own risk.
Of course doing something about guns should come first, cos guns kill people immediately.
