Sure, like alcoholism, except much fewer people have it and it doesn't make them dangerous to others.
But hey, banning alcohol worked so well...

So please be specific, how would you ban porn and what would the punishments be for viewing or producing it? |

It would be easy to ban internet porn at least. Anyone then peddling porn should probably serve jailtime. |

There is one very easy way to watch what your children do: Be close with your children. Be an active parent, talk to them about their daily lives and issues, have them be open and upfront with you. aka parent.
Yes, this does become more difficult (though still possible) once the child hits the teens, but if your 8 year old is being rebellious and not offering to share their lives with the parent, chances are the parent did something really wrong (like ignored the child) |

Why don't we invite some Taliban over so they could teach us how to do that most effectively? |

I think you will find it easier to ban breathing. |
