I can’t stand the live action stuff. I prefer a smutty romance novel, where you know all people involved are fictional, and therefore not being exploited in any way.
The live action stuff has gotten weirder and weirder over time, and what was once a small niche is now right on the front page. As an adoptive parent, it makes me nauseous.
I do think that, since porn isn’t going anywhere, the industry needs to be better regulated so actresses don’t get exploited. They should have comprehensive health coverage, worker’s comp, PTO, the ability to refuse contracts without being blacklisted, and counselors on hand for when they are ready to get out of the industry. I used to think sex work was just another job, until I met some sex workers. The problems in the industry are pervasive and impossible to avoid. There are different levels. Some girls do private solo cam work and make their own hours and scenes. That seems to be less of a problem, and easier to quit and move on to a more permanent career afterwards. But when you get into partner scenes and answering to a boss, things get much worse.
It’s like a drug to my brain. I had to cut it out. I have too much dopamine as it is. Watching it just makes the voices worse as it raises dopamine levels. So yeah, no more porn for me.
I used to watch it, but now I avoid it. It makes me feel unwell. It’s really deceptive anyways, has very little or nothing to do with real life, at least from a monogamous perspective.
I don’t like porn. I think it’s very wrong, immoral, and gross. My belief is that sex should only be between two people who are in love, and it should be kept private between the two of them. Something special and meaningful.
I think it degrades women and men to the lowest level. It’s extremely harmful and I’m not just speaking on religious view but personal one. It damages society. Creates unnecessary sexual excitement. Makes us burn in lust. Uses women as objects.
I don’t think it’s a big deal, it can definetly be addictive though and produce unrealistic mindsets. But I also tried no fap or porn watching for 10 months and nothing changed.
