Some written stuff I love, erotica, stories. Video no, I've not found much I like at all.

Interesting

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.

If actors have good safety measures & enforced regulations I think it's a positive thing for viewers in moderation. Some folks have trouble with moderation or telling the difference between fantasy and reality though and should be more cautious.

Indifferent. Not sure why I feel indifference, but it might be from not ever looking at it.

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.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Asfalttikyntaja@sopuli.xyz 2 points 12 hours ago

This is exactly what I think.

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?

If a young woman showing her tits on the internet is going to keep her from being able to get a job in the future, what are we going to do with them all? It's a lot of people.

I feel bad for the girls who are exploited or felt like they didn't have a choice. Those East European or South East Asian countries.

I know this is probably not a popular take on porn, but I can't wait for AI porn. It's not exactly guilt free since the model uses real exploited girls, but at least it's taking the current data and remixing it into new content.

there are forums that deal with porn-induced ED, mostly with medical forums though. some people are seriously addicted to it, in various stages.
