Should Anything Be Off-Limits? A Discussion on Prohibition, Pleasure & Control

Societies have always tried to decide which pleasures are acceptable and which should be pushed out of sight — or tightly controlled. From drug laws and smoking bans to the cultural firefights around pornography and platforms like OnlyFans, debates about “what should be allowed” are everywhere.

In this session, we’ll explore who gets to decide what’s “too far”, and why.

Is prohibition about protecting people?
Is it moral policing?
Does it actually work?
Or does trying to control desire just drive it into the shadows?

We’ll look at questions like:

• Should adults be free to choose their own risks?
• Do bans prevent harm or create more of it?
• Is society entitled to draw moral lines — and if so, where?
• Why do some vices get demonised while others get normalised?
