daily reminder that ‘porn addiction’ is a myth perpetuated by far right evangelical groups.

As long as your porn consumption is not interfering with your work or social life, it’s considered normal.

Actual psychology research shows that people who identify as ‘porn addicts’ don’t actually consume more porn than average. What do they have in common? They were raised to view sex as shameful.

It’s also commonly used as a way to avoid taking responsibility. The number of men I’ve seen saying “porn MADE me misogynistic, porn MADE me dehumanize women, porn MADE me see women as objects, porn MADE me sexually harass women.”

On the flip side, I’ve also seen women blaming porn for the same reason. Instead of. You know. Misogynistic, dehumanizing abusers.

Porn is often used as the scapegoat for a lot of problems in our world, I’ve often thought it’s the equivalent of people saying video games causes mass shootings and a rise in violence.

There’s also a good bit of evidence and studies saying an availability to porn (as well as prostitution) has shown a link to decreased sexual violence.

Experimental research randomly assigned and exposed men to violent pornography, nonviolent pornography and nonpornographic media, and measured their attitudes toward women or about sexually aggressive behavior by having them complete a questionnaire afterward. Men also participated in laboratory studies that tested their aggressive behavior towards women.

Neither correlational nor experimental studies provided evidence that supported concerns about pornography.

At the population level, studies explored the relationship between pornography consumers and sexual violence, and found that an increase in available pornography reduced sexual aggression.

i’m just glad these kinds of myths only exist among far right evangelicals like could you imagine how pathetic it would be if leftists thought certain kinds of porn could taint your mind making you inevitably become some sort of awful abuser? but surely nobody would believe such a thing and ostracize people for that kind of stuff while also regularly spreading around posts like this lol

The good news is that Covid contributed to large swaths of the industry basically being rebuilt from the ground up.

Platforms like OnlyFans, Fansly, Justforfans and others were already on the rise, but when the pandemic hit ALL the performers that previously did in person studio work were pushed onto these platforms out of necessity. 

What does that mean? It means now more than ever, sex workers decide what content WE want to make, when we make it, and with whom. AND we retain the copyright to our own content. Many of the big adult stars have not returned to in person studio work because they make MORE money and have more control over their content than ever. Those that have returned to studio work, do so when a project is interesting or when it includes people we want to work with. I’ve been approached by a studio I will probably work with because their attention to my consent and comfort has been immense.

I think labor rights are more important than anything when it comes to the intimate work that sex workers do, because it can be so much more traumatic when things aren’t done right. Giving sex workers more autonomy and control is the best solution to these problems, and thankfully that is the state of most of the industry today! Porn isn’t what it was 10 years ago and that’s a fantastic thing!

lol Keanu Reeves asked if ppl can use Unreal engine 5 for porn, then the talk diverged to digital sex in Cyberpunk 2077, porn sites (he couldn’t remember the name OnlyFans) then “Arousal Matrix” This is such a rabbit hole.

The creators of the ‘Sexy Baby’ documentary on porn’s harms to teens have now premiered the ‘Hot Girls Wanted’ documentary’ — about the exploitative world of teen amateur porn:

“The disturbing world of amateur pornography has been laid bare by a new documentary called ‘Hot Girls Wanted,’ which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on Saturday.

The insightful look at the world of pornography shows just how easy it is for teenagers, in particular, to get caught up in a sex trade that promises big bucks and fame.

But in a revealing peek into the billion dollar industry, documentary filmmakers exposed how professionally produced films are being made to look like home movies. …

It showed how Craigslist ads which promised free flights to Miami bring in a constant stream of would-be porn stars.
During the film, Riley, a 23-year-old ‘agent’ hosts half a dozen young women eager to enter the industry at his Miami home.

He says casually: ‘Every day, another girl turns 18.’

But the brutal world of pornography only gives girls aged 18- to 21 a career span that typically lasts just three months, due to high turnover.

Tressa, an 18-year-old girl featured in the film, admits she was attracted to porn as a way to escape her Texas hometown.”

Ouch. That’s a sad state of affairs. :-(

And by the way, if porn is so great and “empowering,” why is the career-span of these young women only three months?? Very telling…

“Sexy Baby” was a very good documentary and we’re looking forward to seeing and sharing this new effort by these excellent filmmakers who are doing such a great job exposing the harms of pornography. Go anti-porn team! :-)

~ Here’s an excellent article on the “Hot Girls Wanted” film and another important documentary that just debuted at Sundance about epidemic rape on college campuses:

“We did actually start this film by going to college campuses and talking to frat boys, to get some background research, and on our sort of checklist of things we wanted to film was this amateur porn world, because all these boys are watching this porn… and it is no mistake that their behavior is aggressive, and that there are all these rapes on college campuses, because this is where it’s starting. This is what they’re watching.”

Exactly! Thanks to the filmmakers for telling it like it is and helping to educate the masses!

apesoformythoughts:

“Current attitudes toward menstruation, fertility, pregnancy, childbirth, and nursing reflect a porn-educated gaze that suppresses disgust by indulging the illusion of a purely erotic world. Female fertility is shocking, precisely because it turns a woman’s body from sexual to maternal, erotic to nurturing. The child is the ultimate rupture of the porn world. Menstruation and female fertility is societally suppressed, and largely silenced, not simply for the sake of convenience, but as a result of the pornographic education that turned these natural parts of sex into unnatural interruptions of sexuality, ruined that vision of genital organs as solely erotic, arousing organs.”
