I don’t care if you hate it or love it, I just wanna know why you feel the way you do. Bonus points if you want to speak on specific categories you like/dislike.

Mostly unethical and exploitative. There was some good consentual stuff a decade ago in the amateur scene but it mostly got wiped when everyone tried to purge all unlicensed material. Hasn’t come back because in this economy it just doesn’t make sense to make anything like that again for free.
I’m a fan of the product, but hate a lot of aspects of how it’s made.
-
Actors have so much stigmatism to deal with just to work.
-
People are abused far too frequently and lack a lot of protections that they should have.
-
i fucking loathe only fans. It’s added a brand new breed of spammers dropping shitty strip teases full of links onto any amateur porn site, normally completely unrelated to whatever place they’re posting. If I’m looking at the tinytits sub, your giant tiddy goth gf post is not going to make me send you $5.
How do you feel about AI porn? Excluding deepfakes.
Extremely negatively. We already have an overabundance of free porn catering to effectively any fetish you could want, and even fringe stuff has sites, OF models, and r34 artists willing to commission it.
We do not need to use absurd amounts of water and electricity to produce something that’s already very available. If you have a fetish so niche that you need AI to generate it, you can either pay someone to do it/draw it, or go without.
Eh I disagree with the power usage point, specifically. Don’t listen to Altman lie through his teeth; generation and training should be dirt cheap.
See the recent Z Image, which was trained on a shoestring budget and costs basically nothing to run: https://arxiv.org/html/2511.22699v2
As for if we “need” it, yeah, that’s a good point and what I was curious about.
But then again… I don’t get why people use a lot of porn services. As an example, I just don’t see the appeal of OF, yet it’s a colossal enterprise.

Nobody should watch it. It has effects on the brain that will literally destroy you, whether it be vanilla or avant-garde. I’m not doing this for religious reasons, but rather, scientific evidence I’ve read that shows the disgusting effects this industry has on any brain, young ones included. I don’t watch porn anymore (though I never purposely relapsed before and after). It will destroy one’s psychology, and for that, it’s grounds to have it banned in specific areas.
All I’m saying here is that porn should never, ever be watched, no matter the religion or political affiliation. If anything, sane people don’t do this.
I think given a choice, most people don’t want to be filming it. And from what I’ve heard of the industry, it’s definitely more manipulative than Hollywood. Thats before we talk about independent producers who basically copy/pasted the YouTube influencer industry and its positive/negative effects.
And it should be protected by freedom of speech laws.
I feel like 95% of it is tied to exploitation capitalism and is indistinguishable from military job offers. Nobody is taking the job unless it’s the only option.
I wouldn’t say nobody, some people have exhibition kinks, but yeah it’s definitely exploitative far more often than it would ideally be.
I’d also argue the military is a similar situation. I know people who got into the US naval academy and absolutely had other options.
I think some would take the job more willingly if the job wasn’t as societally stigmatized as it is currently. “Nobody” is certainly a stretch but I get where you’re coming from.
Before or after climaxing?
During
I think it’s a fine tool for imagining what it might be like to be touched by another person. I hope to experience that someday.
Porn is illegal in the country I’m born in so I kinda feel “privilaged” to have emigrated and can watch it any time I like. (My state doesn’t have Age Verification Laws yet xD)
As to actually watching… eh… kinda asexual… so… eh… 🤷♂️
Or maybe just depression…
Kinda mixed on the whole thing. Like sure, like any red-blooded (cis/het) male, I like seeing naked ladies. Sure, who (among cis/het men) doesn’t? But I also want the girls to be safe, and not abused.
I’m honestly tired of hearing questions like “if you saw your daughter/niece/sister on a porn site what would you do?” and people want to see your daughter, niece, or sister, but not theirs. I feel like the correct answer is “keep scrolling, and make a note to check in with her.” Not like “hey I saw your shoot” but more like, “is everything good?” like you should be doing anyway. I mean women don’t necessarily do porn because there’s a problem in their life and we should stop pretending showing some T&A is indicative of a problem in the first place. Like, seeing a family member in porn isn’t one of the best things, but it’s not the worst. The worst is, she’s at a low point in her life and she’s being forced to do it, or being abused, or hooked on drugs, because it’s taboo and it shouldn’t be.
But at the same time, I’m not gonna pay for porn. There’s so much free shit out there anyway. Everyone’s got a good camera in their smartphone and people aren’t gonna stop posting on gonewild type communities. And I wouldn’t care if porn just went away. Maybe it would make society better. Or maybe we’d just get more desperate.
As far as what I like/dislike… I’m not really gonna get into that, but I’ve noticed, on Lemmy, there’s a trend with AI generated women to generate more older women! I love that. Even if they’re in their 60s. It’s not like a kink or anything, but the older I get, the less I appreciate stuff like “she just turned 18” or whatever. I don’t think it’s utterly terrible some people wanna see that, but I’m over twice that age! I would never date an 18 year old. Friends maybe, but never more. But the AI stuff is really fucking weird, but it’s also kinda cool because these aren’t real people, they’re people generated by an algorithm. Maybe the algorithm is trained on real people with real bodies, but it mixes so much up you can’t really identify it as a specific person. I’m fine with that. But if we can stop people from looking at the illegal/dangerous stuff, and use AI to create it, let those people watch that instead, I think that would be a net positive. Of course you’d want to identify them, tag them and keep them separate from the rest of people; it’s not a solution to the problem they create, but if you can reduce the demand for it, I dunno, I want nothing to do with that kind of stuff, but I feel like there’s a solution in there somewhere. I probably won’t be the one to come up with it. My solution is small, metal, and you can hold a few of them in your hand. I’d like to think there’s a better solution out there.

CP detectors got really good well before image gen was even a thing. They had to, as image hosting sites had to filter it somehow. So that’s quite solvable.
Look at CivitAI as a modern example.
They filter deepfakes. They filter CP. They correctly categorize and tag NSFW, all automatically and (seemingly) very accurately. You are describing a long solved problem in any jurisdiction that will actually enforce their laws.
If you’re worried about power/water usage, already solved too. See frugal models like this, that could basically serve porn to the whole planet for pennies: https://arxiv.org/html/2511.22699v2
IMO the biggest sticking point is datasets… The Chinese are certainly using some questionable data for the base models folks tend to use, though the porn finetunes tend to use publicly hosted booru data and such.
I have mixed feelings about porn. I think it’s totally fine as a form of media for consumption, and creates jobs. Where I have issues with it is a half and half between there needs to be better protections for the performers to eradicate exploitation, and what to do in regards to how it affects young minds. Nothing inherently wrong with porn, just like other forms of media, but I don’t think young people should be getting their hands on it. That being said, that comes down to the parent figure actually parenting and keeping that blocked as best they can from their kids. It’s not something that should be gatekept with submitting IDs and such, as that is incredibly problematic. I am also aware of how there can be certain issues in regards to body image and how that affects people. I’m not always big on having to CW everything to death, but I do see that it could be helpful to have a disclaimer on sites to make people aware that the performers are not the pinnacle of body / beauty standards and that what is displayed is not the only way to have sex. It’s a topic that takes navigating nuances, but all in all I thing the taboo or stigma should die out. What can help with that is some of what I mentioned. Sorry for the scattered nature of this ramble, I’m tired and have to head out, but I did want to give my input as this is interesting to me.
why you feel the way you do.
Because it is important if something is useful to me, and it’s none of my business what other people watch.
Much of it is dull or even repulsive but there’s a certain kind of erotic, sensual, wholesome porn that can tempt my eye.
