Both can create unrealistic expectations that end up damaging someone's life. Gooners desensitize themselves to normal women and lose out on normal relationships that would probably make them happier. W*men read this regarded shit slop and gaslight themselves into thinking they deserve to be treated like royalty instead of an equal partner, thus losing out on normal relationships that would probably make them happier.
At least these women aren't objectifying and dehumanizing a real person when they read fantasy smut. Porn isn't bad because it gets people off, it's bad because real people are being harmed and exploited and you're getting off to it.
i didn't say anything about lacking autonomy. Exploitation happens even if there's consent. Harm happens even if there's consent. People agree to things that they don't want to do when they're desperate for money or mentally ill.
no but if someone starts filming and sells the video to a bunch of men who have a fetish for people banging their heads against a wall, then yeah that person is being exploited.
Do you have a source for the "biggest advocates of porn/sex work" being women? Because the consumer base of porn / sex work is overwhelming male.
No I'm not in favor of banning porn on principle I just think it's insane to compare getting off to fictional stories to getting off to actual people who are more likely than not exploited and abused.
Dude, that's gay as fuck, fantasizing about being a woman smh my head. I fantasize about being the big testicle man getting railed by the man's big sweaty hairy cock, much less gay that way.
Remember a few years ago they were trying to convince everyone their rɐpe fantasies were really about being so hot a man loses control and MUST have them
The only difference between a chick with healing crystals and a dude with a magnetic bracelet that improves his stamina is how they frame it. Bro-science fills the same void as spirituality
No I work in a library, i.e. majority women. It's a shitshow and the women are extremely judgmental about reading habits more so than the few guys working here. Anything related to finance or stoicism or particularly The Art of War, or 48 Laws of Power or anything Robert Greene is seen as "bro-philosophy" which is a major "red-flag" and derided endlessly (tbf it is kinda really misrepresentative of history and overgeneralizes and cherry-picks a lot). If you aren't reading the most hardcore feminist slop you're a "low-key misogynistic" the more alt lifestyle/goth ones tend to read lot of wiccan/paganism/tarot card shit unironically, or historical romance, or sci fi romance, or biographies which are usually detailed accounts of romances. They buy mostly comics/manga and manuals/academic materials for men as that's what sees the most traffic for the demo or the spy thriller like Tom Clancy and sci fi or Stephen King etc.
Damn, I forgot witchcraft stuff. Hovewer it surprises me. Women being crazy about magic, crystals, astrology and stuff like that is nothing new. But I didnt realize that it is big even in book world.
Erotica is for ugly girls who get no play in real life, and they think the opposite of being better than half the population. Don't ask me how I know.
Idk if they think that though, and if they do, who really cares? My only concern is that they might expect too much because of romantic stories, like things have to be "perfect korean romcom" tier. Thankfully my gf isn't like this, but I can imagine how that shit can affect someone else. Hope this makes sense lol.
Well, there are a lot of ugly fucks who watch hentai/anime harem shit and expect that every girl gonna do everything to meet him and be his "asian wife" , that's why I said that it's works both ways
I didn't. I was linked to meatspin when I was like 11, but other than that, I was about 14 before I started watching pornography, most of it starring your mother.
If smut ends up in a school library, it was probably because whoever put it there didn’t know it was smut. It’s not like you can walk into a school library and find the smut shelf
While we are on the subject, kids shouldn’t be kept coddled from challenging subject matter. I checked out “The things they carried” from my middle school library. I’d argue that book was darker than any porn I could get my hands on at that age. But it was a good, substantive read.
yeah but school libraries dont accidentally stock pornhub. you can (and should) keep your kids off the internet unsupervised until theyre old enough for that kind of thing, but you can't prevent them from picking up a smut book a school library accidentally stocked until they already have it.
I have no problem with smut, but from reading a number of them I gotta say they’re almost all awfully written. Like middle school level writing mistakes. I recommend any aspiring authors read smut, it will boost your confidence as a writer.
The smut reading is such a waste of time compared to watching a minute of porn and rubbing one out though. They do it to make it seem like an elevated intellectual practice. I know girls that read hundreds of these dogshit books when they could’ve watched 30 seconds of porn and read something thats actually well written or beneficial.
Women who read smut, because after they read Heated Rivalry they go onto all of the hockey boards and forums and spam a bunch of stupid fujo shit and ruin it

Smut novels is porn, ideally kids shouldn't have access to either and they definitely shouldn't be able to check it out from a school library
