Because Ukraine was once a very conservative country.
Being part of a Soviet Union would do that, unfortunately.
Porn ban started in 2001.
Probably anti-russian/pro-west backlash, tbh. Lot of pro-jesus laws passed around the world as a way to reject the USSR.
Also likely wanting to curtail sex work in general, as Westerners were going to former Soviet countries for sex tourism.
In fact, right after Russia invaded Ukraine, “Ukrainian women” became a top 10 pornhub search.
Well yeah, anything that’s in the news is gonna end up on a porn site. Its like how trans porn trends in right wing states: it’s not cause right wing states are secretly horny for trans people, it’s just that a certain percentage of people treat pornhub like google. Just so happens that Fox News talks about trans folks a lot. Talked about Ukraine a lot back then too.
Curtailing sex work in general, yes. Lots of conservative Orthodox folks over there. Russia too. They’re basically the same people. That border used to feel like Schengen before Schengen.
I have no idea how it is these days, but in the 90s there was a lot of trafficking going on in eastern Europe. Curtailing sex work in general might’ve been seen as a necessary evil to reduce that. Make your country as boring as possible to predators.
But yes, true on the conservative Orthodox folks too.
I believe they had a pretty large mail order bride thing going on.
