I’m not against those who work for sex, but the idea to earn for a living doesn’t seem nice. IMO, sex should be for 2 people (or more for others who prefer polyamory) who wants to be intimate/romantic with each other. My point is money should not be the purpose.
That’s a heteronormative statement. What you meant to say is that corporate live action porn, which is most popular with heterosexual men, is abusive and exploitative. Who is abused by the writing of an erotic romance novel with Fabio on the cover? Who is abused by aged-up Sonic The Hedgehog smut? Who is abused by a drawing of two gay dragons having sex? Who is abused by a video game about cumflation battles between cum wizards? Who is abused by two trans gay women posting their sex tape on the internet for free with no expectation of payment?
When you make a statement about all of porn, which applies only to the kind of porn straight men consume in massive quantities, you’re reinforcing the social myth that straight male sexuality is the only sexuality. You’re ignoring diversity and pretending it doesn’t exist.
I am talking about most porn, which is, coincidentally, hetero “mainstream” porn (because most people are hetero and because the most mainstream porn is of the abusive type), but only because that’s how it is in general.
Also my main point was about money being the main reason behind porn, and that applies to video games, erotica and non-abusive pornographic materials.
Money is involved in Fabio novels, but Sonic smut, gay dragon drawings, and cumflation games can all be downloaded for free. If you pay for porn from 2010 onwards, you’re either really a big fan of a particular artist and are engaging in a consensual transaction, you’re rich, or you’re a sucker.
Man, you are focusing too much on single examples, I am talking about an entire industry.
I’m not a man. There you go again normalising maleness.
