Given the recent payment controversy, I have an interesting question. Why are people so interested in porn and NSFW stuff?

[email protected]

Wanting sex is a normal and human desire, and NSFW content is just an expression of that, but without any of the effort or risk of rejection needed to get a sexual partner in real life. Some people like to imagine themselves or their ideal partners in the scenes they view. Some have specific kinks or preferences that are harder to find, thus the need to pay for it. Some have parasocial relationships with the creators.

As for the “nothing new” part, well, you’ve probably eaten your favorite foods hundreds of times in your lifetime without getting tired of them

A content creator I follow who spoke on the subject explained it very well: Erotic content is the canary in the coal mine.

Conservative far-right groups attack it first in order to have an excuse to label those who condemn these abuses as “degenerates” and perverts; and it is extremely easy to associate queerness with eroticism, and thus re-criminalize homosexuality and other non-conformist identities.

This is only the first step, and they will not stop until they have destroyed everything.

I'm not super into porn and don't really consume it. However, I am interested in fighting censorship. They will not stop at porn. They're already labeling anything LGBTQ as porn so they can ban it. Sex education is already on the chopping block most places.

No one wants to watch the same tired clip over and over forever while having the daily wank.

I don't like the framing of this question.

[email protected]

It really isn’t obvious to you why people consumer it?

I like to watch women have sex.

Mostly because boobs are pretty great.

First they came for paid porn.
I did not speak up, because I did not pay for porn.....

I have Aphantasia lol, it's lame fapping in the void to my own inner monologue! Maidenless rn too. Gotta shake things up.

I'm more about written works when I'm on my own however, visual aids or not. Usually not, because the quality of VN/WEG is piss poor with a few exceptions. Books are way better.

As to why, it's because I'm a human animal and it's a need. You can tell because once satisfied you lose all interest in whatever it was for awhile.

I've got a fairly large body of art that straddles the line between NSFW and SFW.

Overall, my content is photography of women and my audience trends mostly female. I view this as a version of success - I'm a straight male person and I feel like if my audience was more male-trending, they'd just be appreciating the boobies instead of the human form, often times nude or scantily clad, artistically presented.

The nude in art is something we've had for a long long time, we've never really gotten tired of it. I haven't run out of new and interesting things to do with it. Photographers of nudes in days past didn't have access to the latest LED technologies, at the very least. And. likewise, genetic variation is always turning out a new face.

And, dono, I get that just because I'm fairly unbothered by nudity that some people might be uncomfortable and thusly my art is NSFW. You wouldn't want it as your desktop pattern on a work PC, right? But it's still art and people find joy in it and I've spent a lot of time developing it.

Okay, but then there's everything else! Pretty girls get away with more than chubby girls who get away with more than trans girls, so it's always been a version of policing and it thusly leads to the thin end of the wedge where more things, important things like how to understand when you are actually being groomed or that LGBTQ people have always existed or how to not get a disease, get lumped into the same category, so I'm annoyed because people want to make porn go away, then my art go away and then do a bunch of other dastardly deeds, none of which any of us really want to have happen.

Why do you like chocolate?

I don't understand how anyone past puberty can't understand it. Can't really speak for women but stuff that gives me a boner is great. Its like food that cause you salivate. You want to eat that food and you want to fuck that person. The main difference is if your from a modern country that does well then you have access to almost any kind of food you might want. I could totally see if in a situation where you have limited food options having pictures of a really decked out burger or burrito as big as your head or stuffed pizza or cheesy beef or hotdog dragged through the garden. Sorry I could go on but I uh. Really need to do something so gotta run.

Very good point. To be honest, I haven’t paid much attention to this story but maybe I should.

I can still remeber the music from the single porn VHS tape I managed to obtain as a teenager.

[email protected]

Boards of Canada set it to music very well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-FI6D8ZXpc

Now that the show is over
And we have jointly exercised our constitutional rights
We would like to leave you with one very important thought

Sometime in the future, you may have the opportunity
To serve as a juror in a censorship case or a so-called obscenity case
It would be wise to remember that the same people
Who'd stop you from listening to Boards Of Canada
May be back next year to complain about a book, or even a TV program

If you could be told of what you can see or read
Then it follows that you can be told what to say or think
Defend your constitutionally protected rights
No one else will do it for you, thank you

Are you asking why a sexually reproducing species is horny?

[email protected]

Don't worry, it's just an alien visiting us for the first time, asking about human life.

Some people are ace? Not that I'm against people having the right to make NSFW stuff (the idea of "NSFW" is pretty heavily influenced by advertisers to begin with, outside of NSFL stuff like gore and trauma) but this analogy makes it seem like you can't live without having or imagining sex at all times. I personally don't get enjoyment out of being horny at all.

The real problem is that payment processors shouldn't be able to block transactions for things that aren't illegal, full stop. The recent precedents just let Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal label anything with themes they don't like (LGBTQ+, gender equality, body dysmorphia and other issues related to physical appearance, etc.) as suggestive content and censor it. That shouldn't be legal anywhere claiming to have freedom of speech/expression (but they don't seem to mind supporting hate speech!)

I don't see why you feel that way. Do you imagine eating all the time. You think of food when your hungry and you think of sex when your horny and either one can be elicited by your senses.

[email protected]

I generally don't think about sex unless it's relevant to a discussion so the analogy kind of breaks down for me. But when you liken something to food, the immediate thought coming to my mind is that you can't live without it.

I guess if you really wanted to stick with the food metaphor from my perspective it would be more like: "If all food tasted bland to you and you didn't have to care about the nutrients/hunger would you still eat?" Taking the analogy past its breaking point, my experience is like that question but if the world fundamentally judges you based on your favorite food and inserts generic barely related food pictures into every show or movie you try to watch.
