I laughed heartily, but it also had another effect: I thought that modern children rarely have the opportunity to witness the union of man and woman and that they learn everything to do with sex in theory first.
Children today have way more access to sexual content than we ever did as kids, thanks to computers. We're innocent babes compared to what your typical teenager can access online. As you said,
Since people want to witness other peoples sex activities and rituals, they shifted this need to the world of the screen.
Porn and prostitution is a phenomena and from what I think, an expression of what can go wrong when humans suppress their biology.
I'm not so sure. It appears that prostitution (or similar behavior) also exists in non-human animals (Wikipedia). If this behavior persists in animal populations, then it must have an evolutionary advantage. Porn is a more recent development (evolutionarily speaking), though we've been painting sex scenes for a long time. Animals also enjoy watching porn of their own species, though I have yet to hear of animals making sex videos in the wild 🤣
LoL :D - so you gave yourself the answer, there is no prostitution going on in the animal kingdom. Or, I have a completely different understanding of the term prostitution.
A very daring statement, I'd say. Would not sign it.
Watching an act of coupling because you happen to come across it (for example, a couple having a sweet secret rendezvous in the woods) or going to a whore and paying for it are two completely different things. I am unable to put a link to human evolution on that.
I find porn abysmally disgusting as a trade, but not purely random or spontaneous sex performance between male and female; which is not porn but them simply having sex. There only needs to be a certain erotic tension and not even the act itself in its entirety to make my heart beat faster. I bet you are the same ;)
Because modern people seem to take fewer opportunities to make such random observations (or be the ones observed) doesn't mean that porn is a good choice. It is not for me. You wouldn't want your wife/girlfriend, your daughter or even mum to be getting it on, would you? Or who prostitutes herself online?
Since porn is also a matter of fact, I will not give it my credit. It needs to stay in the dirty corner, since it won't go away. I think that is realistic but I am not making myself an advocate for it.
I don't mind porn. I think it's a wonderful invention and a surefire way to boot up the kinky circuits of the brain.
Well, you could argue that I am prostituting myself online right now. I have certain skills and knowledge that I'm willing to share with you for a like. So, don't forget to leave me a tip 😉
I could, but I wouldn't. Since you are not making yourself naked in front of me, and I didn't ask for it.
To my question if you'd want your madam/sister/daughter to sell porn, whether off- or online, I take no answer for a "no". Except you beg to differ ;)
I thought it was a rhetorical question. Of course, I wouldn't want any family member feeling like they need to make porn or prostitute themselves for a living. But if they so choose, and they're adults making conscious choices, then it's simply none of my business.
