Wishing doesn't make it so

Previously I wrote this. This would be stage two, or as I like to think of it, throwing my metaphoric bucket of ice water on the petulant sots who want to make all the evil porn go away.

Why would I say such a thing? Quite simply, it is impossible without extensive tampering with humanity.

To begin with, there's money to be made. Huge volumes of cash are generated in the adult industry. Unless and until pornography becomes unprofitable or irrelevant, it is going to be an attractive venture. Even if every country on the globe suffered a collective stroke and banned the production, sale, and possession of sexually explicit materials, there would still be porn. Granted the industry would go underground, but just like booze during Prohibition and recreational drugs, it would persist as a lucrative trade. In fact, it would probably become even more profitable on an item-by-item basis from being made illegal.

If that wasn't enough, there is such a thing as the internet. Anything that hits the net is pretty much preserved for functional eternity. Some forgotten server will have a copy. Billions of people are constantly uploading and downloading information at any given moment. Gods only know how many computers or storage media exist at any given instant containing pornography. Songs such as "The Internet is for Porn" were written as a consequence of how pervasively the industry has saturated the internet.

And this brings me to my ultimate point; humans enjoy seeing, hearing, imagining sex. Even if no one ever made a cent off of pornography, it would be organically generated anyway. Hell, that's probably where it started in the first place. Ugg happened to stumble across Ogg making the "mammoth with two humps" with Mag and grew aroused. Since he couldn't always hope to find Ogg and Mag rutting away when he wanted inspiration, he probably started painting what he'd seen. In time, others noted his artistic talents and started offering him gifts so they can get some of his paintings for themselves. Congrats, humanity has just invented the porn industry.
Sexually erotic media has followed along at every stage of civilization. Examples have been uncovered all over the world in archeological sites.

With how consistent pornography through history and civilizations, I'd hazard it's hard-wired into our genome. There is a species-wide preoccupation with sex. Therefore, one would have to excise sexual drive out of Homo sapiens before pornography would wither into history. On a related note, that would probably also be the end of humans as a viable organism.

That is the cost of ending pornography; extinction through attrition.

Now shut your bleedin' gob about how it needs to be stopped and find something more productive with your time like lobbying to prevent the sun from releasing UV wave lengths.
