I see it a bit like prison. When you lock a man up who has sexual urges, when you put him in an environment where he cannot see his sexual partners, pay for escorts or access pornography or however he met his sexual desires he'll start raping his fellow inmates. It happens, not in every case but the pent up sexual frustration will take over and despite not being gay to satisfy his urges he will force himself on another man. Or perhaps not even force, many male inmates turn into prison 'wives' after being sexually oppressed for so long.
Now imagine a similar environment where one can only get their sexual release by accessing child porn. Just like in the analogy, you put that person in an environment where they can't access it, and they'll start raping kids to get their fill.
I know the internet probably won't go into lock down (yet, it will one day, believe me) but just the notion itself is obviously one that hasn't at all been thought out. I'm not one for bashing the Government, I respect the tough job they do and know that none of the people who rant and rave about them would have any idea how to handle a nations budget, etc but this concept of trying to block pornography just has such a horrible backlash waiting to happen that I can't believe it wasn't better thought out. Especially in a day and age where society is as scared of itself as it is anyway, the last thing the government would want is to actually give people a legitimate reason to be scared. They can control the manufactured ones, you can't control some sexually deprived lunatic fucking your 8 year old.
