internet porn illegal

i'm not talking all forms of porn like sortcore i'm talking about hardcore

...I have yet to see a Hollywood Movie that has a scene of Hardcore pornography in it, that isn't meant to be creepy.

I don't think anyone went to Watch "Deliverance", "The Hills have eyes" or "Lady Snowblood" for the sex.
 
Even less relevant : last time I cheked, most of Hollywoodian movies didn't inclued hardcore scenes, and the ones that use them doesn't make them their main attraction feature.

To resume, even the sodomy aficionados didn't usally wanked themselves on the anal rape of Pulp Fiction. This movie have a different purpose and utilisation.

Sure, some can, as some can use a toaster as a sex-toy. It would be a really marginal minority, at the point we could name them, and not where Hollywood planned to make money.
Exactly, this, I have a shit-ton of hollywood movies on DVD and NONE of them contain explicit sex, or ever softcore.

Heck it's very rare for me to even watch an out and out porn movie, that's not what dampens my unmentionables.

...You mean I'm the only one who got off to Silence of the...

On second thought, I won't finish that sentence.
 
Now, from a pure speculative curiosity, I wonder how a Pornography Prohibition-like would look like.
Probably abandoned more quickly than Prohibition OTL.

I just don't see how it can be enforced at all. There are 3 methods I could think of:
  • Ban sites with certain text (anything with a naughty word). Problem is it will have a huge amount of collateral damage (wikipedia for ex). And all this will mean a linguistical arms race as porn sites will use new words instead of the banned words (would be interesting to watch the evolution of dirty language if that happened)
  • Is to maintain a list of sites and block them SOPA style, hugely expensive to maintain and keep up to date, collateral damage and censorship issues abound
  • Shut down the whole internet for the US. Destroy the economy, become very unpopular legislators and ban lifted very soon.

I think option 2 would last the longest, being probably a week, at most.

I think yes, Option two seven days at most with it's backers out of office soon after.
 
of course you will run into the different definition of porn. In the us they scream murder when someone shows a boob on tv (or during the superbowl), while here (partial) nudity is even used in commercials (lol i recall when they showed emannuelle during prime time on tv/ uncut, not even comments on that). so banning it is going to be complicated. And it has to start early on, because once it gains momentum on the net its pretty much unstoppable (like an avalanche). So no porn/nudity on the net from the start would be the only way, but that would also probably mean the net is far less successful. But from selling porn vids to porn on the net is a logical step, so am thinking you would need a pod that prevents porn vids too (oh my this would mean vhs no success, so betamax or v2000 instead ;) )

And as the others already said, the definition of hardcore is also dependent on who/where they define it.

in short banning isn't gonna work, as you need the whole world to have turned in a restrictive theocratic policestate.

..And? Something on the order 70% of the demand for porn is hardcore. You're trying to fight human nature. This is not an uphill battle, you might as well be trying to climb Everest stark-naked and walking backwards.

on a weird note, i think someone actually did that (well wearing only sandals lol)
