I don’t care if you hate it or love it, I just wanna know why you feel the way you do. Bonus points if you want to speak on specific categories you like/dislike.
Whatever someone wants to do with their body is up to them (within legal limits)
To the people who say “she’s selling her body”, I say this:
So are you. So am I. So is everybody. A miner or oil rigger is selling their body to be used as labour for 10 hours a day.
An accountant is selling their body to sit at a desk and crunch numbers for ten hours a day.
We’re all selling our bodies to corporations every day in exchange for a paycheque. If a person is comfortable using nudity for it, more power to 'em.
And someone doing porn is probably selling their body way less than someone doing hard physical work and having lost some of their body functionality by the time they’re 50
most onlyfan models are just sitting in their bedroom in different outfits and flirting with subscribers via messages/vids.
the really successful ones have fulltime staff to do this for them.
Spot on.
Fair point
Same as any purely pleasurable outlet: great in moderation, terrible when one can’t self regulate. I find it easy to avoid rape-y, tween, unrealistic porn in which I don’t find any sexual gratification. There’s plenty of small creators out there that produce wholesome sexual content.
I highly encourage people to go for amateur and home-made material. Yes, the professional models are nice, but regular people doing regular things are also very hot.
some of the ‘amateur’ stuff has higher production quality, crazy bodies, and crazy sex acts, than the pros.
a lot of the amateur these days that is popular seems to be done by bored trust fund millionaire types. personally one woman I know who did do porn… that was precisely her situation. she did it for fun and paid for her own shoots. then would have ‘fans’ take her on vacations across the globe to 5 star resorts for 5-6 figure price tags.
she basically did porn not for money, but as a way to advertise her body for sex trips from very wealthy men. she probably made more ‘profit’ than anyone short of the pro porn stars.
I second this^
alot of the non-ph sites(more obscure) have “pirated” OF content amateur and old PH videos.
*a lot.
For some reason society decided that it was not ok to sell sexual acts. However, if you film yourself doing it, it’s allowed. 🤷
As long as it’s legal, live and let live, imo. Life is too short.
Though I also encourage people to not rely on it as their only outlet for being horny. It creates unrealistic expectations around nudity and sex, which is irritating in certain scenarios.
It’s extremely apparent when someone thinks nude beaches are for sex because they’ve watched a shitload of porn and start acting out. Everyone else is talking with friends, reading books, or getting some sun.
If you want to do voyeurism, go to your local kink events, there’s plenty of them through FetLife.
I know for myself, I have a bit of a mental barrier of separation between what I find kinky in fictional media, and what I would ever expect of real people. I fear for people that break that barrier, failing to understand the ways fiction goes outside of reality.
Of course, there’s rare cases where people somehow match porn - it’s probably best to let those be a surprise, not something you seek.
Thats reasonable, good take.
I like looking at it :3
Jokes aside, porn is a type of media, and people who think porn influences behavior should also be extremely afraid of kids who play GTA, or watch any media that depicts violence.
It exists, and 99% of it is made for men
Edit: even (especially) the lesbian porn 😤
Possibly an underestimation, need more significant digits.
Porn is just another tool. People use it in lots of different ways.
Way too many people generalize it’s use by other people, mostly because of the shame around sex and sexual identity.
But that’s also true of any media or medium. Tons of people still shame TV or video games as evil/bad inherently. And judge others consumption but feel victimized when they are judged for their consumption preferences.
Id tend to agree
I was raised religious, and fell for the whole “porn makes you unable to form real, properly attached bonds with another human” thing. Then I started reading the scientific background of that stuff, and - while you definitely can damage your ability to form strong relationships with porn (or just about anything else) - that made me far more porn positive.
Maybe this is just me, but I actually watched/looked at far more porn when I felt deeply ashamed of doing so. Now that I’m OK with it, and it just feels normal, it’s comparable to a tool I have access to.
thats why the wierd religious puritan types are the freakiest when it comes to porn and they might even seek out the illicit ones like cp and beastiality, they delve into deviant content. aside from getting addicted to it, or porn-ED probably need some help if a user has tried abstaining from jerking off to it.
I totally agree with the tools angle.
Meh. That is how I feel. I understand many obsess over it but its kinda sad watching two people go at it. I do like naked women but is that porn? Not unless they are doing something. Some lady with her bits exposed isn’t really what I would call porn.
This is exactly what I think.
I don’t consume much traditional porn but I do read a lot of erotica and look at a lot of hentai and yiff. I usually masturbate at least once a day, usually right before bed ao I can fall asleep easier and sometimes in the mornings to get me out of bed. Sounds weird but super depressed and I know that when I just can’t find a reason to get out of bed if I can get myself to masturbate it usually leaves me in a more active state, not necessarily better but able to start soing stuff. Consumed a lot of real porn when I was a teenager. Only had sex a few times, a few men and a couple women and it’s probably just me but porn never set unrealistic standards for sex for me. The only real porn I watch nowadays is basically homemade redgifs clips posted in a butt stuffing discord im in. I feel like I have a harder time masturbating to my imagination nowadays, but I’m also masturbating a lot more than I used too and am also on brain meds so hard to tell if that’s an affect of porn overconsumption or not.
I’ve made some porn, I have over 100k views on redgifs, really blew my mind cause it’s about as amateur as it gets. Was really nice to feel attractive, desireable even. Wouldn’t have minded doing it for a living but I doubt I could have made real money and I can’t wnjoy anal that much anymore anyway. Plus I think it would have been hard to keep it fresh, and I wouldn’t like to show my face ao that would have limited me quite a bit.
I wouldn’t call myself addicted to porn, more like I self medicate with masturbation and the types of porn I consume (erotica, hentai, yiff) are a tool for that. It might be a problem if I had a partner, masturbating too frequently makes it harder to get aroused and cum, but I don’t date cause I’d be a terrible worthless partner, so it’s not a problem.
So you’re a gooner.
Idfk, whatever
Indifferent. Not sure why I feel indifference, but it might be from not ever looking at it.
Never huh?
I have, but it’s been probably 7 or 8 years since I’ve watched it. I watched a LOT of porn as a teenager.
I prefer hentai/rule34 but real porn can be fine too. I know that not all porn industries are bad but I do know that there are, or at least were, some really bad ones. Also, I’m mostly into tentacle hentai and live action tentacle hentai is usually absolutely terrible.
I like it because it’s a tool to explore sexuality in a way that my imagination could never. It’s an incredible experience to come across something so sexy that I never would’ve imagined would push my buttons in just the right way.
It also shows me what I like and dislike, or what I could like in the right context, and makes me reflect on why I like those things.
Other times, I’ve had a “wtf are we doing” kind of moment, wondering why or how we even got to this weird thing that we need to insert appendages into orifices. Like, isn’t it absurd on some level?
There are a lot of issues with the industry surrounding pornography (most of which would be fixed by sex workers being able to unionise), but the entertainment itself is morally neutral.
I enjoy making porn.
Hell yeah
