Porn is a visual depiction of sex as much as advertisement of fast food is a real depiction of food.



Mainstream porn may be unrealistic, but that doesn't mean you can't find realistic depictions of sex.


Exceptio probat regulam.


Yes but generally when curtailing free speech courts apply strict scrutiny, and even minors are generally understood to have the right to produce and accept speech, banning someone from viewing all visual depictions of sex outright seems overbroad even if only a minority is not 'harmful', whatever that means.


Porn isn't political speech. It doesn't deserve the same level of sacrifice we do for freedom of political speech.
