\"noporn\"<\/a>Congratulations, Utah\u2014you’ve just become the first state in the US to formally declare pornography a “public health crisis.<\/a>” It’s true. The state’s Senate recently passed an unanimous resolution to crack down on pornography and the “sexually toxic environment” that it perpetuates. Though the resolution didn’t pass any laws, it aims to address \u201cthe pornography epidemic that is harming the citizens of Utah and the nation.”<\/p>\n

State Senator Todd Weiler<\/a> recently told Vice that porn is addictive and harmful, and that its consumption “can impact brain development and functioning, contribute to emotional and medical illnesses, and shape deviant sexual arousal.” Utah is a very religious state\u201460 percent of its residents identify as Mormon\u2014which explains the public condemnation of porn as a \u201cfatal epidemic; like a moral plague.\u201d Many critics are calling Utah out for hypocrisy: the state teaches \u201cabstinence only\u201d in schools, and doesn’t include contraception education in its curriculum, which could account for the high STD rate among teenagers. As studies have shown, when you make sex taboo and shameful, it only fuels sexually risky behavior\u2014maybe it’s time for Utah to include sex-ed in its schools before scapegoating porn for its problems.<\/p>\n
