The issue you've raised (regarding the abuses and negative effects of the porn industry) aren't suddenly solved by someone being a little older.
Given that certain areas of the brain, including the prefrontal region, are not fully innervated or developed until someone is in his/her mid/late 20's to early 30's, I answered no.
I'm not disagreeing with the points you've mentioned about the porn industry in general, but those are issues best addressed from within rather than by external decree. Keep in mind that it is legal for youth to drive at 16 (earlier with a permit in most areas), which has vary more risks involved (including death).1 0 0 0With 18 you have zero adult life but with 21-5 you at least have 3- 6 years adult life aka life experience. The more you age the more information and life experience you have that can protect from such things
Young people are easy to manipulate
I'm curious to hear your personal perspectives given that you seem to be quite passionate about the issue. Have you been in the porn industry or known others who have?
Well to be consistent I think they would have to raise the age for other things like taking out a loan, buying a house, signing a contract, owning a business, joining military etc. It doesn't make sense to say 18 is old enough to make decisions on all that other stuff but not old enough to agree to have sex for money.
0 0 0 0Women literally can get sterilisation till they have kids or in their 30s but porn is ok? Noo. Buying gouse, owning business is not the same. All these things can irreversibel and in porn the conditions are shit.
Women Cannot get sterilization before their 30s
I am ok with women younger than 30 being able to be sterilized if they want.

When a porn video claims she's 18 she's usually mid to late 20s. I think you'll struggle to find a real 18 year old porn star

1 18OK I have several different problems with your little statement all over the place. Let's make sure we throw a little bit of common sense into what you're saying and make sure we Get the facts straight before you blow this thing all out of proportion.
· up until you turn 18, means that you have to have another individual claiming responsibility for your actions. This means that you are not held accountable for your actions, and that you must abide by somebody else’s parental guidance. This is maintained in the eyes of state and government laws. Which means, any kind of contract that you sign is considered not legal unless you have another person over the age of 21 signing along with you. ( I will get to the reason why they had to be over 21 in a minute)
· When you turn 18, this means that any actions you take from this point forward will be of your own doing an you will be responsible for said actions. Yes it may be true that you are not completely educated about everything you need to know, but it does mean no one else will be held responsible for the actions you take. That is why you are allowed to vote, you are allowed to move out away from your parents without their consent, as well as make your own financial decisions ( be held responsible when you sign contracts and making obligations to people) .
· When you turn 21, this is when you are considered responsible enough to have responsibilities of others. That's why when you got your learners permit to drive a car, it says you're not allowed to be in another car unless a person over the age of 21 is with you. You have taken enough responsibility for yourself during that three years to gain enough experience that you can take somebody else underneath your wings. This is where the alcohol consumption comes into play. Since you are not considered adult enough at 18 to have the responsibility for others, then you are not considered responsible enough if something happens when you're drunk Anne that you cause physical damage to somebody else or in the case of death , responsible enough for somebody elses life.
Now when it comes to porn, nobody has responsibility but yourself to make your decisions. We can only assume that you're gonna make the right ones. This means then we can only give you the knowledge we have up until 18. After that it's up to you to decide on how you're going to mold your life. After that, anything we say are merely suggestions. We can't even hold your hand unless you say it's OK. So if you truly think that you're not ready for the world by the time you turned 18, then you better pray your parents will still keep you around. If not, sign yourself over to a psychiatric Ward.0 0 0 0Its freaky how porn is becoming a popular business.. like sex isn't valued anymore in relationships.. like fr almost everyone wants to have sex.. its becoming a norm where relationships doesn't matter. No the raste for new n younger girls to be in pornos is scary to parents. Heck sexaull assault is increasingly by porn.. there a lot of addicts out there
1 0 0 0I'm the one guy that said yes.. like fr wtf is wrong in this world.. I'm set at gaining a career I'm a virgin.. yes I had girls wanting to have used with me but I refused because I see sx as something special.. girls entering the porn industry should consider the future of there lives.. like fr imagine working down the street n some guy recognized you from a porno.. or how about ur kids future.. hmm?
People’s brains are still developing at 40.
that doesn’t mean the government should control their lives for them more than necessary.
the drinking age in the United States is ridiculous. Note that the US doesn’t have a problem with sending 18 year olds off to fight in foreign wars.0 0 0 0No. I agree with you about the waiting until they're 25 but then it's not just gonna affect porn and it would effect both men and women also the age for joining the military and going to war. So what else would change? The legal age to vote legal age for sex or maybe even marriage
0 0 0 0If we waited for everyone's brain to fully develop, we'd never get ANYTHING done ! LOL
0 0 0 0You are not going to die, if young people do not get abused. By your logic we should not wait kids to develope their brain, since we'd never get anything done. Let 12 years old kid do porn then
You're not getting my ironic sense of humor, which is directed at the idea that some adult brains never develop, no matter how old they get to be! lol OK, my answer is yes, I wouldn't have a problem, at least in the USA, making the minimum age for adult movies the same age as drinking !!
By that logic the any thing that requires a person to be 18 or 21 to do would have to be changed to at least the age of 25.
0 0 0 0Porn is different.

Why tf is drinking age then 21 but doing porn at 18 is ok? W
They are adults so they can do what they like. Remember some people's brains never fully develop. Such as Donald Trump.
Also let's not forget that most kids know more about the porn industry than we do. So, if they don't like it they won't do it.0 0 0 0So why only go up to 21 if brain doesn't develop till 25.
Makes no sense0 1 0 0It would be better if it would be 25 of course
No no no no!!! I love teen porn!
0 0 0 0since when does something stop because it's forbidden? That just makes people do it more
0 0 0 0I chose yes, there has to be some kind of control.
0 0 0 0If they are happy and get pleasures why it forbiden?
0 0 0 0This happen very rarely
I only mean with out for money without drug addiction without pushing.
No. Age is not the same as maturity
0 0 0 0And jail is a room
First things first, where I live you are a legal adult at 18. With all the responsibilities that conveys. According to you, an 18yo is not mature enough to make a conscious decision like doing porn and should be forbidden to do so. That is not only legally, but psychologically wrong. You allege brain is still developing until 25 as a reason to forbid it, which brings me to my point. Age is not the same as maturity. You don't need to reach a certain age to have develoepd enough maturity to decide something like that

Its true that a woman could make a better decision at 21 than 18. People are following the law. Should it be changed have to get out there and change laws I guess
0 0 0 0They're legal adults, they can do what they want

Women literally can't get sterilization before their 30s in many states and the reason for this is that sterilization is irreversibel and women could regret it but doing porn at this age is ok? 17 years old get approached/ manipulated by agencies and when they turn 18 they start porn.

Lana Rhoades who is currently in her mid 20s. had wanted to be an adult firm star since her early teens. from what her bio say online at least which she did once she was of legal age to do so. in the modern age young girls are being over serialized like crazy.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/1RH-UO8cARg0 0 0 0We send 18 year old boys of to war to die and become disabled.
should they be able to vote if their brains aren't fully formed?0 0 0 0The topic is not about war. And i also think we shouod not take boys at 18 to war
21 would make more sense for that, seems like everything else in that age bracket now
0 0 0 018 is an adult. therefore it is ok for them to do it.
