The Mormon War on Porn: Slutever

Published on Apr 12, 2017
Utah has started a war against pornography. In 2016, Utah became the first State to officially declare porn a public health crisis, claiming porn has “detrimental” effect on brain function, contributes to “emotional and medical illnesses,” and gives rise to “deviant sexual arousal.” But with the science being murky at best, is this just Mormon morality infiltrating Utah legislation?

Porn is obviously a polarizing topic. The LDS Church ("Mormons&quot perpetuate the belief that porn addiction is a “plague like we have never seen,” however, the psychiatric community does not even recognize porn as a clinical diagnosis. So, is porn actually contaminating our brains, or is this symbolic porn ban just a way of shaming Utah residents for their sexual desires? Having sprung out of this repression, the pornography site MormonGirlz.com, founded by a lapsed mormon, directly plays on LDS inspired sexual oppression for the sake of titillation - illustrating the ultimate backlash against suppressed sexual desires.

In this episode of Slutever, Karley travels to Utah to investigate the state's complicated, illicit and shamefully sexy world of porn. Karley speaks to members of Mormon church and other porn-haters at Utah’s annual anti-porn convention, and spends some quality time with erotically-liberated resistance.

2. Probably, watch the video Mormons are fucking creepy

Girls starting at 12 years old get "interviewed" twice a year alone with a bishop.

"Do you think about having sex with your brother", other Mormon women caress young girls under their clothes. Wonder if any DU Mormons can tell us more LOL

3. Yes, followed closely by Jeffrey Beauregard Sessions XVII and William Kristol VIII

4. No, that goes to uber Christian Oklahoma..

Utah around 40.. but what a colossal waste of time, money and energy.

5. And now #1 in denial.

All it takes are a few flimsy, vaguely medical-sounding justifications.

6. How to choose sides between the sexual exploitation industry and magical panty sniffers? nt

7. I guess you stick in the middle by just looking at pictures in the bra section of K-Mart

8. Mormons are creepy

Utah leads the nation in online porn subscriptions, and it gets worse. Pornhub likes to recommend videos by geographic location, and if you go there while in Utah it seems like half of the recommended videos are 'mock incest' themed stuff.
