Years ago I would disagree with this, but seeing how easy it is for anyone of any age to access these sites, I think it would just be better for society to ban it as well. Young kids, pre-teens, are getting their first introductions to sexuality from the most extreme and depraved pornography ever made available - often before parents even have “the talk”. Even if you’re on top of it as a parent, it only takes one of their friends with a phone to show them. How are we OK with this? Everyone of these sites is full of videos of step-siblings, step-parents, etc., engaged in sex. “Water sports” is apparently mainstream now. None of this beneficial to society.

It’s also strange that in the era of MeToo, where even seemingly routine situations of consensual adult sex can be retroactively classified as acts of sexual violence, that we are accepting of these extreme and violent depictions of sex being normalized and widely available. The whole “sex work is work” push isn’t helping, as it’s only encouraging young people to embrace and participate in this type of content. How many young girls are waiting until they hit 18 so they can finally open an OnlyFans? We would all be ashamed at how low our society has fallen if we still had the capacity to feel shame.
