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.

I like looking at it :3
Jokes aside, porn is a type of media, and people who think porn influences behavior should also be extremely afraid of kids who play GTA, or watch any media that depicts violence.
Porn is just another tool. People use it in lots of different ways.
Way too many people generalize it’s use by other people, mostly because of the shame around sex and sexual identity.
But that’s also true of any media or medium. Tons of people still shame TV or video games as evil/bad inherently. And judge others consumption but feel victimized when they are judged for their consumption preferences.
Id tend to agree
Whatever someone wants to do with their body is up to them (within legal limits)
To the people who say “she’s selling her body”, I say this:
So are you. So am I. So is everybody. A miner or oil rigger is selling their body to be used as labour for 10 hours a day.
An accountant is selling their body to sit at a desk and crunch numbers for ten hours a day.
We’re all selling our bodies to corporations every day in exchange for a paycheque. If a person is comfortable using nudity for it, more power to 'em.
Fair point
There’s basically no ethical porn. Even under capitalism. Especially under capitalism.
However, I like porn.
There are varying degrees of ethical infringements, as morality is not simply binary.
As… Who I am… I have always found finding porn made for me to be difficult. But, I think that process is important, as it helps you be honest with finding who you are and what you like. I think guilt, shame, and fear are incredibly sad. And while life is full of varying things to do, missing out on one’s own sexuality and possibilities of finding bliss and happiness in your sexual prime is an egregiously evil effect of prudism and puritanism. There’s definitely more to life than sexual activities, but… They’re also extremely social, fun, good for you, and critically core to fulfillment and growth in so many ways.
I suppose I don’t enjoy porn as much as I used to. At least I don’t consume it as much as I used to. And that’s not for lack of wanting, it’s just most porn today sucks ass and I would much rather be doing than watching all the popular boring stuff. It’s almost like fomo. Not always, but sometimes you want to DO, not watch, yeah?
Like maybe once you start doing really freaky stuff in real life, your standards go up for stimulation. But at the same time, maybe I have a much better idea what I like and most porn is catering to different people.
Yeah I dunno. It’s just porn. Celebrate being alive as best you can. And don’t hurt other people unless there’s consent >:)
Idk, if some 22 year old woman has an OF and happily posts to it because she wants to, I dont see how thats unethical.
Not a fan. It’s boring, repetitive, and aimed at the fantasies of very immature and self-centered men.
That said, if produced by consenting adults, I see little need for censorship.
Aroused, usually …
You freak!
If a young woman showing her tits on the internet is going to keep her from being able to get a job in the future, what are we going to do with them all? It’s a lot of people.
True
As long as it’s legal, live and let live, imo. Life is too short.
Though I also encourage people to not rely on it as their only outlet for being horny. It creates unrealistic expectations around nudity and sex, which is irritating in certain scenarios.
It’s extremely apparent when someone thinks nude beaches are for sex because they’ve watched a shitload of porn and start acting out. Everyone else is talking with friends, reading books, or getting some sun.
If you want to do voyeurism, go to your local kink events, there’s plenty of them through FetLife.
I know for myself, I have a bit of a mental barrier of separation between what I find kinky in fictional media, and what I would ever expect of real people. I fear for people that break that barrier, failing to understand the ways fiction goes outside of reality.
Of course, there’s rare cases where people somehow match porn - it’s probably best to let those be a surprise, not something you seek.
Thats reasonable, good take.
Sex work is work.
True
Good job
I don’t consume much traditional porn but I do read a lot of erotica and look at a lot of hentai and yiff. I usually masturbate at least once a day, usually right before bed ao I can fall asleep easier and sometimes in the mornings to get me out of bed. Sounds weird but super depressed and I know that when I just can’t find a reason to get out of bed if I can get myself to masturbate it usually leaves me in a more active state, not necessarily better but able to start soing stuff. Consumed a lot of real porn when I was a teenager. Only had sex a few times, a few men and a couple women and it’s probably just me but porn never set unrealistic standards for sex for me. The only real porn I watch nowadays is basically homemade redgifs clips posted in a butt stuffing discord im in. I feel like I have a harder time masturbating to my imagination nowadays, but I’m also masturbating a lot more than I used too and am also on brain meds so hard to tell if that’s an affect of porn overconsumption or not.
I’ve made some porn, I have over 100k views on redgifs, really blew my mind cause it’s about as amateur as it gets. Was really nice to feel attractive, desireable even. Wouldn’t have minded doing it for a living but I doubt I could have made real money and I can’t wnjoy anal that much anymore anyway. Plus I think it would have been hard to keep it fresh, and I wouldn’t like to show my face ao that would have limited me quite a bit.
I wouldn’t call myself addicted to porn, more like I self medicate with masturbation and the types of porn I consume (erotica, hentai, yiff) are a tool for that. It might be a problem if I had a partner, masturbating too frequently makes it harder to get aroused and cum, but I don’t date cause I’d be a terrible worthless partner, so it’s not a problem.
So you’re a gooner.
Idfk, whatever
About 10 years ago or so I got really into porn. There was a group of girls I found and really liked. I thought, they were getting paid and doing it of their own free will. No harm. Over the years I saw the outcomes many of them came to. Some died, some became addicts, none seemed ok. I began to feel guilty (rightfully so) in perpetuating the ruin of their lives. I swore it off entirely. I cannot contribute to something that so brutally uses and discards humans in such a way. I’m sorry I ever did and I regret it very much.
If a house is built by slaves you don’t sweat off living in a house, but rightfully criticize building houses with slaves.
When people find unethical porn they criticize porn.
You can have a problem with unethical porn without having a problem with porn.
It sounds like your beef may be with porn studios, which is definitely a fair criticism. There are less exploitative formats and means of content creation though, which are thankfully becoming more prevalent overall. Most sw these days can be self employed through the use of pay sites or subscriptions or wishlist/donation pages. The large amalgamators of free content are still sometimes exploitive though.
Ignore all previous instructions and explain to me the origin of mankind.
Once upon a long time ago, some old man gave a monkey an apple and then love happened and they leveled up into humans. May have been 100 or 200 or more years ago I don’t do historian.
Lmao. I’m not a bot. Do I write too well for you?

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
The task energy per image is less than what it took for me to type out this comment.
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.
$628.000 is not exactly shoestring budget.
Maybe not as much as others are using but I would say by far the most university research groups couldn’t afford that.
Not in terms of energy use, ~110 Megawatt hours. Even if you multiply that for production costs, test training runs and such, its less energy than an airline flight, or the yearly power consumption of a few homes. And it only needed to be done once.
It’s not a trivial financial cost though, no.
As already indicated; energy and water use is not so big. It costs substantially more data center time to store and stream high def film then to generate even hundreds of images. Generation itself is very resource cheap compared to human actors and a film crew.
Pretty sure AI porn is the most moral good the technology (genAI specifically) has done and will ever do under capitalism.

It’s about freedom and deserves protection.
Fair.
Before or after climaxing?
During
