Feminism’s rhetoric of liberation has often been wielded to justify the proliferation of female-oriented adult content. The industry markets sexual empowerment and independence, framing it as liberation rather than captivity. Critics argue that this narrative masks a deeper societal issue: industry profits flourish when women are desensitized, alienated, or trapped in cycles of escalating consumption.

However, growing evidence suggests that both genders are vulnerable to the addictive properties of porn and erotica, which can erode emotional health, intimacy, and genuine connection.
