I remember a few years back it was still exciting to find a free image gallery of dirty pictures. Now you can hop onto any of a thousand tubes and watch as much insane sex as you want... but for some reason the excitement is gone.
Less free shit may in fact reignite sexual interest, desires, and maybe even sales!
I know it's a slippery slope, but porn was just much more fun and exciting when it was hard to find.

But a 12 year old can turn on HBO and watch full nudity fuck scenes.... your point ?
Mine is a lot more accurate. When it comes to brick and mater, real people in the flesh "handing over" the porn, then it would be absolutely crazy not to have them "check id".
What we are dealing with here is what kids have access to from their own home where there is no way that a website nor a cable station knows who is watching. What happens in the home falls under "parenting" or lack of since the parents are the only ones who can block porn from their kids. They can put filters in place, not let the kid have a pc with internet access in their room, or god forbid supervise thier internet usage. If parents cant control what their kids do in their own homes, then the issue isn't with porn sites, they have much greater problems on their hands.
