How would you propose I prove to you at a reasonable certainty that I am an adult, without showing you my ID, or showing it to someone else you trust to tell the truth?
And also somehow prove that the ID I gave was not fake without the government that issued it telling you that it’s genuine?
Well, I actually could do it because I’m old enough that most of my accounts are already over 18 years old, but I don’t think requiring every new Pornhub user to wait 18 years is a reasonable solution.
Everyone develops at different rates. The arbitrary line of 18yo is already problematic. After 18, suddenly everyone is ‘thrown to the wolves’ regardless of if they’re ready.
People used to mature much faster - raising families, fighting wars before they’ve turned 20, and by 40, practically geriatric.
Is everyone ‘ready’ for porn at 18? Who decides? Just a line? Then with whom does the responsibility lie if someone that’s not ready, but still does acces porn at 18 and experiences any number of negative effects that proponents of this measure claim?

Maybe just practise basic parenting?

It’s a control measure looking for an excuse.
