Porn or No Porn

Porn or no porn should be decided by a common man and not by a bunch of bureaucrats. Adolescence goes downhill when obsessed items are restricted and in such case, sex education becomes a must. The reason why cinemas show the so called “bits” is because of an overwhelming demand. So, why is the censor board not allowing the requisite supply?

Is the Central censor board promoting an abstinence movement from sex? When such movies are made with an “A” certificate, how many cinemas ask for an age proof from the movie-goers? While virginity isn't exactly igniting most of the high schools and college campuses, it is better for such adolescents to watch these “bits” rather than indulging themselves in any other risky behaviors.

Meanwhile, international surveys suggest that the majority of parents favor broader sex education. Contrary to common wisdom, our conservative society places restrictions on important things that direct our day-to-day life. It is ironical that the Indians who are proud about the origin of “Kamasutra” are under a bunch of bureaucrats who promote a standard of abstinence from sex. Pornography is the best sex educator of all times while it is also the lousy sex educator. The society should be vigilant of sexually transmitted diseases than being sloppy over sex education.
