A former pornography addict wants Ottawa to legislate on pornography
[Translation from French]
This is an important fight that begins Charles-André Villeneuve, nephew of the federal deputy of Brome-Missisquoi, Louis Villeneuve. The teenager, who had to free himself from pornography addiction, wants the federal government to legislate to regulate access to online pornography for minors.
To achieve his goals, Charles-André Villeneuve posted a message on his uncle’s Instagram platform. He wants to lift the veil on this taboo subject which, according to him, can have important consequences for teenagers.
Now that I don’t consume pornography anymore, I realize that I sexualized women much more before, even being very young. Already, between the ages of 10 and 12, I sexualized women, and that’s not normal. Then, when I had my first intimate relationship with my girlfriend, it was there that I had problems with my level of satisfaction, followed by erectile
dysfunction, he told René-Charles Quirion, a journalist at Vivement le retour. [emphasis supplied]
By the end of the evening, Monday, his video had been seen by more than 350 000 users on Instagram.
Pornography has a huge societal impact, right now, with the big wave of masculinism that we observe. It does not help teenagers to see these videos very young, which represent very well the patriarchal system. The man has a dominant place compared to the woman
, adds Charles-André Villeneuve.
The member for Brome-Missisquoi did not hesitate to bring his nephew’s message to his colleagues in the House of Commons.
