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.
