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.

    I’m a fan of the product, but hate a lot of aspects of how it’s made.

    1. Actors have so much stigmatism to deal with just to work.

    2. People are abused far too frequently and lack a lot of protections that they should have.

    3. i fucking loathe only fans. It’s added a brand new breed of spammers dropping shitty strip teases full of links onto any amateur porn site, normally completely unrelated to whatever place they’re posting. If I’m looking at the tinytits sub, your giant tiddy goth gf post is not going to make me send you $5.

    I think given a choice, most people don’t want to be filming it. And from what I’ve heard of the industry, it’s definitely more manipulative than Hollywood. Thats before we talk about independent producers who basically copy/pasted the YouTube influencer industry and its positive/negative effects.

    And it should be protected by freedom of speech laws.

    I feel like 95% of it is tied to exploitation capitalism and is indistinguishable from military job offers. Nobody is taking the job unless it’s the only option.

      I wouldn’t say nobody, some people have exhibition kinks, but yeah it’s definitely exploitative far more often than it would ideally be.

      I’d also argue the military is a similar situation. I know people who got into the US naval academy and absolutely had other options.

      I think some would take the job more willingly if the job wasn’t as societally stigmatized as it is currently. “Nobody” is certainly a stretch but I get where you’re coming from.

    I have mixed feelings about porn. I think it’s totally fine as a form of media for consumption, and creates jobs. Where I have issues with it is a half and half between there needs to be better protections for the performers to eradicate exploitation, and what to do in regards to how it affects young minds. Nothing inherently wrong with porn, just like other forms of media, but I don’t think young people should be getting their hands on it. That being said, that comes down to the parent figure actually parenting and keeping that blocked as best they can from their kids. It’s not something that should be gatekept with submitting IDs and such, as that is incredibly problematic. I am also aware of how there can be certain issues in regards to body image and how that affects people. I’m not always big on having to CW everything to death, but I do see that it could be helpful to have a disclaimer on sites to make people aware that the performers are not the pinnacle of body / beauty standards and that what is displayed is not the only way to have sex. It’s a topic that takes navigating nuances, but all in all I thing the taboo or stigma should die out. What can help with that is some of what I mentioned. Sorry for the scattered nature of this ramble, I’m tired and have to head out, but I did want to give my input as this is interesting to me.

    why you feel the way you do.

    Because it is important if something is useful to me, and it’s none of my business what other people watch.

    Much of it is dull or even repulsive but there’s a certain kind of erotic, sensual, wholesome porn that can tempt my eye.
