I find this somewhat dubious. If you know this, why not show your work? Show us a study on the matter. Lots of people enjoy sex involving their own pain or humiliation in a healthy and consensual way. Banning a specific type of porn because it makes you feel uncomfortable is puritanism, and has a pretty poor track record of success on actually curving negative outcomes.
If you're really concerned about people getting the wrong message from porn, then why not require porn to have pre/post checkins with the actors/actresses to affirm that it was made with enthusiastic consent. Seems to me this would do more to stop some of the real problems the porn industry has.
I posted some links above about it being used as a rough sex defence in murders, and non fatal strangulation being a stand alone criminal offence. It's online with that
I mean, those seem like pretty good laws. They have carve outs for consent, but still punish reckless behaviour, even in a consensual setting. I'm not sure how this is related.
It's how it's being misused. There's issues with porn regulation in general that should be looked at IMO
While I agree, an outright ban on a specific category of porn, especially when there seems to be no evidence that it actually encourages problematic behaviour, seems rather silly. Seems more like a personal vendetta than well thought out policy.
I see it differently but respect your point of view
