By that, I want to highlight how harmful it is in the long run. How to make people not watch it, honestly, I have no idea
It's like that for many vices such as alcohol- it's harmful but banning it is much worse than regulating it (see the history of 1920s America). I'm not convinced porn consumption is harmful but even if it was, it shouldn't be banned.
My siblings in Christ just because you have an unhealthy relationship with porn doesn't mean that everyone else does too. Stop projecting your problems into pathologizing everyone else.
