Would banning internet pornography and adult websites be feasible?

I honestly find most porn distasteful - even gross. And I don't consider myself a prude. I mean, we all have fantasies and so forth, but to me, that's the reason I find porn distasteful: it leaves nothing to the imagination. And then there's the fact that porn is often exploitative and communicates themes of objectification.

But my objections aside, I'm basically a social and civil libertarian. As long as the people involved - the viewer, the producers, actors, etc. - are at an age where the can legally consent and as long as there's no human/sex trafficking involved, what people do within their four bedroom walls should be their own business from a legal standpoint.
First paragraph - right on the money.
Porn is devoid of love, of embrace, of kissing. It's all loveless silly base mechanical action, which objectifies women

Second paragraph -wrong. Porn damages everyone involved, especially the viewer.
 
I'm curious if it would. Given that porn consumption and production is a hotbed of ethical issues, I'm sure there will be some arguments in favor of it.

Some countries such as Iceland have passed bans on internet pornography, though critics say that these bans create black markets.


While I'm aware that porn has always been around, and that black markets will exist for potentially anything which is banned, I personally have little interest in pornography, and it wouldn't hurt me if some incel didn't have access to Pornhub and OnlyFans 24/7.
maybe ask this rabbi 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

The rabbi who owns Pornhub

Solomon Friedman was ordained as an Orthodox rabbi but his day job is a lawyer and his passion is making pornography ethical.
