      Shady shit happens specifically because there is money to be made. If everyone around the world stopped paying for porn, full stop, then the only porn that would be made would be passion projects from artists who want to create for the sake of it.

        Doubt it. People would still post revenge porn, unconsensually filmed stuff or leak e.g nudes that were meant for each other and not the public. Because the motivation there is not money, it would be to humiliate, for example.

        Exploitation takes place when the money isn’t paid directly to the workers. Anyone who cares to consume porn responsibly should consider this before they go to free hosting sites that make money from ad revenue and shady services.

          So as long as there is money to be made?

          But Jennifer, also on the conference call, is always rooting for me 110%. We should all be more like Jennifer.

        Porn is the only reason I am still married. After our second kid, my wife’s already low sex drive dropped to asexual. She is a wonderful mother, but she is either willfully or ignorantly oblivious to any romantic advance. I get, on average, about one fully clothed, under-the-covers hand job every 6 months or so that’s so unenthusiastic that I am reminded why I stopped trying to get her to do it. I am sexually starving. The only thing I want in the world right now is to feel the warm touch of someone who actually wants to touch me again, but I’d rather die, lonely, but married to her than let my kids grow up in a broken home…

        So ya, I jerk off to porn after she goes to bed.

          Damn that sucks! Wouldn’t have believed somebody telling you on your honeymoon that so little intimacy was in your future, huh? No fair :( I hope that, if nothing changes, your coping mechanisms remain effective.

    The porn industry is so fucked, most actors don’t see much regardless of the popularity of their videos. Fuck that.

      As opposed to other industries, where everybody gets their fair share /s

      Expect porn doesn’t require any education.

    I’d pay if there was a more discrete way of doing it. Overall, you should pay for the things you want. Or they will go away (well probably not porn). But like local businesses and such.

    Those interested: Erika Lust is a fun site. It has more ethical porn that you don’t have to wade through weird crap for. Well worth it IMHO

      Erika Lust

      I get turned off by high production values like that, it’s like jacking off at someone’s workplace.

      I have a hard time keeping it off when it involves the profit motive

    I feel like this is implying that there’s just “free porn” out there “somewhere” on the internet

    I’m really shocked at how many people (apparently) shell out for onlyfans, subscriptions and such.

    I swear, I’m the only sane one, not the only insane one.
