The bill states that "pornography perpetuates a sexually toxic environment that damages all areas of our society," proceeding to list that "potential detrimental effects on pornography users include toxic sexual behaviors, emotional, mental and medical illnesses and difficulty forming or maintaining intimate relationships." "Due to the advances in technology and the universal availability of the internet, children are being exposed to pornography at an alarming rate, leading to low self-esteem, eating disorders and an increase in problematic sexual activity at ever-younger ages," the bill states. The bill first passed in the Arizona House of Representatives on Feb. 25, with 32 votes in favor and 28 against.

The state's Senate vote was held Monday, securing 16 votes in favor, 13 votes against and one abstention, according to the state legislature's website. The text of the bill is less than a page and takes no tangible action beyond calling for the members of the state legislature to "denounce pornography as a public health crisis." Minority Whip Sen. Jamescita Peshlakai, a Democrat who voted against the resolution, said on the Senate floor that bigger health issues like the ongoing measles outbreak are more deserving of attention. "I think we really need to focus on those types of things that are life-threatening and fatal, and could spread so quickly to anybody," said Peshlakai, according to The Arizona Republic.

You laugh, but it's true.

Once they (if ever) get with a woman, they won't know where to start.

This is excessive. Porn is definitely hurting lots of men out there as they are less likely to seek sexual partners but it's definitely going to reduce population issues once the baby boomers die out.

They have a point, and its not like its calling for any changes to laws or policy.

Its just the whole thing is kinda like, addressing the health dangers of smoking when your in the midst of a famine.

Who says the state is trying to do this? A majority of Arizonans want weed legalized, problem is our state's run by a bunch of baby boomer republicans who refuse to drop dead so the new generation can take over.

I'm against censorship on any level including porn (excluding sickness such as bestiality, rape, child, poop, etc).

However, they aren't wrong that it is a topic of discussion that should be looked at objectively.

How could you even hope to regulate this without a straight up ban though? How do you control porn,

Two things occur to me:

- Oh wow were calling anything and everything a crisis (or national emergency) now.

- Boy, Im surprised theres no mention of legalized prostitution which would actually be a legitimate complaint to lay at the feet of pornography.

I find it funny that this was the political equivalent of brownie points. They did absolutely nothing other than shout Porn is bad. No laws were added. No policies were changed. And they got paid to waste everybodys time when there are legitimate issues the state is facing that these politicians ignored.

These are the times when I remember how people deflect on another problem to try and minimize the topic at hand because they disagree with it .... we cant care about more than one thing at once?

Anti vaccination, pot and porn are all not good. The latter two especially in excess.

And yeah alcohol too.

My human development professor actually told us just how much the rise of sexual performance enhancers like Viagra is increasing among adults around my age due to porn.

Men are having trouble with their sex lives because of the easy access to porn. Perhaps it is something we shouldn't just laugh at.

is there something bad with that article? what offended you?

and for people that cant read the article, it has to do when israeli troops went to the west bank when yasser arafat was alive and they took over news stations and started to broadcast porn. but for some weird reason spudger makes it sound like i did something bad by posting the article and he took offense to it. pretty weird.

Not really. People have these ideas of "So it's illegal to pay someone for sex unless I turn on a camera?" but there are actually lots of regulations involved in legally producing pornography.
