Why Bangladesh shouldn’t ban porn sites. Banning porn sites can't be a solution.

Well, a government has every right to ban sites that show illegal content. It can certainly take majors to keep children away from pornographic materials. But, Bangladesh government's decision of banning porn sites are not at all clear. Here's why:

Bangladesh’s state minister for post and telecommunications, Tarana Halim, declared her war against porn sites a few months ago. She was also reportedly planning to expose the names of the internet users who visit porn sites in Bangladesh. However, she later denied of making any such plan.

Tarana’s stand is clear. She wants to ban as many porn sites as possible in the Muslim-majority country. And if banning is not possible in some cases, her solution would be to make it as hard as possible to access those sites. But will it bring anything good for her country?

I don’t think so. There’s no way to hide the fact that watching porn is one of the pasttime things many people like in the world. And there is nothing wrong with it as long as someone doesn’t break the law by watching illegal pornographic content including child pornographic materials or rape videos. Alexa shows at least ten porn sites in the list of top 100 websites Bangladeshi citizens visit every day. One of those sites, Pornhub, is the world’s largest porn site that legally does the business. Watching porn should be an adult’s personal preference, and it they decide to watch, the government should not stop them from enjoying it.

One may argue that watching porn is not really a healthy practice as some research suggest. It could make someone insecure if they start believing everything they watch in hardcore porn. Well, many things we do in our daily life have pros and contras. And a few research also suggest watching porn has some real benefits as well. It increases libido and relieves stress.

Let’s not forget that there are some modern ways to keep children away from the explicit adult content. Family filter options can be used on web browsers and mobile devices that kids use. Parents should observe their kids’ online activities as well.

I think, Bangladesh government needs to focus more on providing sex education to its citizens instead of hunting down porn sites. The German government has launched a website on sex education, something the government of the Muslim-majority country can also consider. Please click here to visit the site.
