Pornography and prostitution are different.

One is information, allowing you to dream (maybe of stupid things), another is in the physical world.

I don't want to think a lot of these parallels, but I've noticed that people close to actual government bureaucracies are in general very sceptical of imagined things against physical.

Among other things, consuming pornography doesn't make you feel powerful, while a prostitute is a real human working for you.

Also 30s' propaganda had traits clearly aimed at, eh, sexually dissatisfied youth.

So maybe it's just about feeling their own power, and maybe it's about returning that device of affecting minds. I dunno
