Porn is fine. Sex has been a part of our social fabric for longer than we've been human.

Obviously, there exists a lot of exploitation in porn, but performers who enjoy doing it and can support themselves with it on a platform like of? More power to them.

Taking a wild guess, I'd say binary132's main concern was the lasting effect on the consumers, not the producers. Girls' broken self-image, male porn addiction, substituting real intimacy, proliferating bad sex practises just to name a few.

[binary132]

It’s definitely not good for producers either. But yeah, the broader cultural impact is on the scale of many millions of people, some of whom develop debilitating addictions, including many kids. “Sex work” has always and probably will always exist, but it’s never been a publicly consumed service at this scale.

Doesn't that put it in the same realm as alcohol? Best enjoyed in moderation and all that. Those concerns are valid, but not necessarily solved by shunning porn. Besides, where do you draw the line?

[binary132]

Personally I consider it more along the lines of heroin.

[hungie]

I was intending to address both.

I believe it's absolutely possible to consume too much porn, but it's by and large fine.

[binary132]

that is merely your opinion, and it is not borne out in reality

Pot; kettle, etc.

I can go on any known porn site right now in Incognito and the front page is full of cuck, incest and trans. We aren't just talking about intercourse we are talking about certain acts of depravity being pushed into the collective conscious.

[hungie]

Trans people having sex is not an act of depravity, lol.

Trans people are people, and deserve sex just as much as anyone else.

Cuck porn is extremely not my thing, but strikes me as a pretty tame fetish if all parties consent. Playing with power dynamics can be a lot of fun and very strengthening for a relationship. (Good BDSM practitioners are often very consent focused and amazing listeners.)

The incest stuff is gross though. I'll shake hands with you on that.
