The UK Bans Child Porn

Now this is not what it may sound like. Child pornography has been banned for a while in the UK, but only the kind featuring actual children. The United Kingdom has decided that they want to pass a law to ban animated pornography depicting children. What I mean by this is porn of a hand or computer produced nature that features children would be banned and punishable by up to a three year sentence if you are found to have it.



For those who don't know, there is a large group of people on the net who use this kind of porn, either because they just like it or because they know sleeping with real children is not allowed. When the porn is "anime themed" it takes on the name lolicon which I have written about here before.



Now, the question I have here is, was this a good move? Is lolicon and other types of child porn like it being banned a good move? Or do you think since it doesn't actually harm people that its okay that this kind of thing exists?

Let me tell you something: you are totally right. Too bad there are few men who think like you, and I admit I was surprised to read what you have written. As a normal girl, I consider men who go to strip clubs ridiculous. No intelligent man would enjoy such cheap entertainment. As you said, when there is plenty of porn on the Internet, why pay to go to such clubs?
A man who prefers to pay to see a stranger getting naked than making love with his girlfriend is really stupid. I believe it is more pleasant to contemplate the body of your beloved one than paying a semi-prostitute to do the same, am I right? Men visiting strip clubs are frustrated; a normal guy would prefer having sex with a woman than paying one to strip. If my boyfriend would do that, I'd leave him immediately. However, I believe I'll never be in such a situation.
And about women who go to strip-clubs...they're just pathetic. A man is more than a body...Generally, strip clubs create a distorted image of what a normal man-to-woman relationship should be.
