I hope we all know this and are just doing it as a bit, but sometimes I do see shit on this website that makes me go “Oh y’all are genuinely just weird prudes”

The “gooner epidemic” is not real, gooning is an incredibly niche kink that very few people engage in.

“Porn addiction” is basically non existent and affects such a small portion of the population as to not be relevant. The idea that most people have in their heads about porn addiction is propaganda made up by evangelicals.

We do not live in an overly-sexually-liberated time. There is not an excess of sexual content or exposure to it.

Most of the time when people talk about “the gooner problem” what they’re actually talking about is a mix of two unrelated things, people living normal sexually liberated lives, and undersocialized young men that don’t know how to interact with people.

Sex is good. We should be having more of it. We should encourage healthy, safe sex featuring whatever kinks you and your partner(s) consent to. Don’t fall for puritan propaganda comrades.

If there were better economic oppurtunities how many of them would go into it?

Without getting into too much detail, I know a good handful of people who draw erotic art/write erotic stories without any expectation that they will ever make money off of it. They just like making the stuff.

Tbh I mean the mainstream pornhub and hardcore stuff. There are so many stories of former ones that regret it because of the social stigma of sex work that strains their relationship with partners and family, getting screwed out of money, abuse etc. Some felt they were too young to make an informed decision on this. Others is because of religious stigma. Etc. Then there are the nastier ones that may not be mainstream..... Tbf a lot of this is reflection of the society but I will always look at the mainstream industry with the cringe for embracing the bullshit
