In passing, I have heard Indonesia is not too bad for this. (LBTQ+ activists were whining that Indonesia has an anti-porn law there that "persecutes" globohomo pervs by not letting them peddle their filth, so there's one more + in favor of beautiful Indonesia as a desirable country...)
As annoying and dangerous as Muslim radicals can be, they at least push back against porn.
By the way, not at MrMan specifically, but the whole group here who's always talking about "Anglo" women, what do you actually mean? Do you mean any women in the entire English speaking "Western" countries, or specifically white women in those countries? The actual Anglo American population of English ancestry in the USSA I think is down to well under 10% of the population, and I don't see how you'd normally tell them apart from other white people, so guessing this isn't what you mean...?
Where do you get the figure that English ancestry is less than 10% of the US population? It may be that less than 10% of the population calls themselves 'English' on surveys of their heritage, and many might call themselves 'American.' But I suspect your typical white person in the US is at least half English.
My family talks about having Irish and Native American blood, but looking at both my parents' DNA, they are mostly from the UK, with some Scottish and Irish and some French, German, and Scandinavian, depending on which side of the family. But both my parents family names are English names.
After the Revolutionary War, a lot of people stopped considering themselves to be 'English.' Drinking tea was even deemed unpatriotic for a while which made coffee so popular.
There are large cities in the Northeast and also Chicago that got Italian, Eastern European, etc. immigrants. The Midwest got some Swedes. There were waves of Irish immigration that probably went more into this larger cities. But the English (and some Scotts) had settled the east coast and had lots of babies for generations before some of these other waves came over and interbred into Anglo- American culture.
Technically, not all 'English' are really that much Anglo, even though 'English' is named after the Angles. There might have been a hundred thousand Angles that came over when the Anglo-Saxons conquered the Celts about 1500 years ago or so. Parts of England are predominantly Celtic anyway. But the country was eventually named for the Angles. And the Anglo-Saxon language took on the name of the Angle dialect and evolved into what we now call English, after a lot of influence from the French language after England was conquered by French speakers of Norse heritage about 1000 years ago.
'Anglo' can also be used for English-speaking, but I don't think that is what is meant on the forum.
I suspect 'Anglo women' typically means white women from the UK, US, Australia, NZ, etc.

I think prostitution should be illegal. As far as BDSM goes, I think adultery, fornication, same-sex sex, and sex with animals should be illegal. As far as BDSM goes, if someone is causing someone else serious bodily harm, the state can get involved. Otherwise, I don't need to know much of what goes on in married couple's bedrooms.
I agree with all that too, except fornication (assuming you just mean guy/girl action between consenting adults), but not going to argue that particular point:
Some supposed traditionalists actually argue in favor of legalized prostitution, whining that they want an "outlet," but I don't think there should be legalized sex industries potentially luring or trapping our daughters, sisters, or other women and girls into a degrading industry like this, which is also subject to rampant abuses. (For example, I wrote something about a case I'd read about where Thai girls were trapped in a criminal brothel operation by a madam who tortured them with electroshock devices in a dungeon if they didn't bring back enough money, but the "johns" they approached on the streets at the orders of the operation didn't know the difference, and thought they were just getting schmoozed by good looking ladies of the night who might not even have minded being in the profession.)
That example is rather extreme, but even more common is some woman like a single mother who doesn't want to get involved in the adult film or soap parlor industry (latter being a Japan example again), but doesn't see a lot of better options to earn money to support her kid.
At minimum bullshit like brothels would need to be very closely regulated to make sure abuses weren't going on, but unless there's a plunge back into a new dark age technologically, the Japanese and other roboticists are making android sex companions for people who are frustrated, so that prostitution should get phased out completely.
If people inclined toward some sort of fetishism insist on practicing it in secret, *shrugs*, it can't be stopped, but the difference if this kind of thing is outlawed vs allowed to be normalized through widespread commercialization is vast, in terms of how much it poisons a previously healthy society. Like the difference between legal recreational opium use at opium dens that anyone could walk right into off the streets, vs outlawing opium even if some comparatively tiny number of determined users still insist on secretly cultivating it or getting it illegally after it's outlawed.
