Does anyone here not watch porn for ethical reasons? After reading about yet another young porn actor killing himself recently, I've decided to not watch any commercial porn anymore. I've wrestled with this for some time but have usually been too horny to care.
I don't know if this an unpopular opinion among LGBT people but I don't think being an escort or acting in porn is just another career like feminists seem to think (and how any criticism is shaming). I don't want to judge the actors' choice in doing porn, but it seems they are usually depressed, addicted to drugs, in a bad place in general and that's what drives them down this path.
>porn
>ethics
That's like saying prostitution should be illegal as to discourage it, when in reality, it makes it dangerous and pushes it underground.
There are sick people who need help in every profession and I don't see how porn is any different, or how you believe there's a correlation between the two. They're free to leave and do something else. It's just a job.
Liberal feminism is the worst with this, you're right. It is SO easy to find information on the rampant abuse in even "ethical" pornography, to find the stories of exited women, to learn about how it truly is an industry of trauma, but confronting that is hugely uninteresting to most people. You are awesome, OP!
I used to laugh at people who disn't want their partners to watch porn. I thought it was insecure/naive/controlling/high maintenance/etc, but after really learning about the porn industry, I really hope to date someone who chooses not to and I'm so glad people like you are out there.
You might be interested in checking out the documentary "Hot Girls Wanted," if you haven't yet.

Ok, go live in a hut. Because the computer you're using to post and watch porn was made in Chinese sweatshops with materials from African slave mines.
men kill themselves a lot anyway. is this a problem specific to porn? it's broader than that I think
Amateur porn is usually better anyway so

I only watch amateur porn anyways, so I don't feel guilty about it. Comercial porn sucks, especially gay porn.
I'm really thankful for those kinky people who film themselves doing dirty stuff and then upload it to the internet.
If I pay for it, and the company making it has a policy for ethical treatment of performers, wouldn't it be Ok ? I'm thinking of abby winters and the likes, mainly.
It would be perfectly ethic if there wasn't any money exchanged (thus zero coercion), but I guess that's the nature of (any) work to have some power asymetry.
I'm kind of on the edge regarding amateur.
In theory it's ethical. But in practice, you can't source it precisely on the *tube sites; it could be "stolen" footage not meant to be public, revenge porn. It's also often copyright infringment.
So I abstain, unless it's from someone personal website or something.

Dentists kill themselves more than anyone. Is it unethical to go to the dentist?
Your phone was made by kids in China with materials mined by slaves in Africa.
Is it unethical to use them?
I don't really know what I'm getting at here, I just have a hard time wrapping my head around a lot of shit. Porn included.

Probably because of their male privilege.
I don't watch it because it just doesn't excite me
I don't get the point of watching other people fucking, you could just do it yourself

YESSSSSSSSSSSS.
A shame that often the audio/video quality sucks.
Then again not everyone is rich.
But seeing 2 boys fooling around on cam getting off knowing they're watched is hot af.

the problem isn't working in porn, it's working a shitty job for too little pay because otherwise you wouldn't be able to survive. if we made it allowable (it's already physically possible) for people to live simple, basic lives without having to take whatever shitty job they can find, the issues of exploitation would be greatly decreased, and people would only take on risky jobs if they had positive incentives to do so. deadly levels of poverty is a very easy threat to use against employees you want to exploit.

Get off to drawings and animation so you don't feel weird about stroking it to someone who is dead, I know that not everyone can do this tho -_-
