"  Planning on taking a trip to Iceland anytime soon? Don&amp;#039;t plan on watching porn while you&amp;#039;re there: Iceland&amp;#039;s interior minister is trying to get all adult Web sites banned from the country, according to reports. The reason? To protect women.  &amp;quot;This move is not anti-sex. It is anti-violence,&amp;quot; minister Ogmundur Jonasson said of the ban. Basically, he&amp;#039;s saying women need to be &amp;quot;protected&amp;quot; from porn. Yes, some porn objectifies women and we&amp;#039;re definitely not down with that. But some porn can be hot. So yeah, a couple problems with Jonasson&amp;#039;s mission: First of all, women enjoy porn, too\u2014for a variety of reasons. Also, women don&amp;#039;t need to be &amp;quot;protected&amp;quot; from televised sex. We&amp;#039;re more than capable of deciding whether or not it&amp;#039;s worth our time. That said, we can appreciate a push to protect women against violence. However, multiple studies have shown that porn doesn&amp;#039;t increase the risk of violence against women. Bottom line: Porn can be a healthy part of our sex lives\u2014and the choice whether or not to watch it should be ours, not that of some random politician. Want more from Meagan?
