I want to know what draws people to it and why keep consuming and making it? Especially since Pictures and videos aren’t showing anything new except the people in it.
I’m not super into porn and don’t really consume it. However, I am interested in fighting censorship. They will not stop at porn. They’re already labeling anything LGBTQ as porn so they can ban it. Sex education is already on the chopping block most places.
Very good point. To be honest, I haven’t paid much attention to this story but maybe I should.
A content creator I follow who spoke on the subject explained it very well: Erotic content is the canary in the coal mine.
Conservative far-right groups attack it first in order to have an excuse to label those who condemn these abuses as “degenerates” and perverts; and it is extremely easy to associate queerness with eroticism, and thus re-criminalize homosexuality and other non-conformist identities.
This is only the first step, and they will not stop until they have destroyed everything.
It’s obviously a basic human desire. Porn’s been around since the Stone Age. Might as well ask why do people like games.
Wanting sex is a normal and human desire, and NSFW content is just an expression of that, but without any of the effort or risk of rejection needed to get a sexual partner in real life. Some people like to imagine themselves or their ideal partners in the scenes they view. Some have specific kinks or preferences that are harder to find, thus the need to pay for it. Some have parasocial relationships with the creators.
As for the “nothing new” part, well, you’ve probably eaten your favorite foods hundreds of times in your lifetime without getting tired of them :)
First they came for paid porn.
I did not speak up, because I did not pay for porn…Your second sentence suggests that pictures and video cannot possibly have any artistic value, and I think common sense suggests that you’re wrong, even when the people are naked and doing various things.
As for your general question, I think the people who are trying to censor us have the burden of explaining why they deserve that power. There are certain areas where censorship is definitely a good thing, but very often we find people trying to take control of societal communication for selfish reasons, generally money or power, and those people can go fuck themselves.
Are you asking why a sexually reproducing species is horny?
No one wants to watch the same tired clip over and over forever while having the daily wank.
I can still remeber the music from the single porn VHS tape I managed to obtain as a teenager.
Above all, it is about the individual freedom.
Go back in history and you’ll see a pattern of regressive politics paired with heavy censorship, starting with anything sex or sexuality related and, by extension, anything potentially disturbing.
It is always sparked by a “well intentioned” desire to protect:the public from harmful creation which then pushes further and further into thought control. There have been attempts to ban and criminalize cursing.
Imagine being arrested for shouting an expletive out of hurting yourself or frustration.
I don’t consume porn. I think it is so banalized it has become uninteresting. But to have people persecuted because they want to make it is not something I want to see. And this feeling goes further when we enter the realm of personal affirmation, linked with LGBTQ+ issues and other individuals fighting for their rights.
And this is highly debateable but artistic creation must no be censored. The best censorship for artists and their work is indifference. It’s the best way to state that something is irrelevant.
Meanwhile, with all the persecution towards mature content (try replacing NSFW and porn with that expression), we get violence nearly glorified in almost all media and so called reality tv and other highly exploitative entertainment is normalized.
Leave the mature content creators be.
I want to know what draws people to it and why keep consuming
Like mentioned by others, for most people sex is a basic need porn being a substitute to the real thing which can be a lot more difficult to achieve than, say, wanking in front of a screen.
and making it?
Why do people make porn? Money. Porn is big money.
I don’t like the framing of this question.
Don’t worry, it’s just an alien visiting us for the first time, asking about human life.
It really isn’t obvious to you why people consumer it?
I like to watch women have sex.
I have Aphantasia lol, it’s lame fapping in the void to my own inner monologue! Maidenless rn too. Gotta shake things up.
I’m more about written works when I’m on my own however, visual aids or not. Usually not, because the quality of VN/WEG is piss poor with a few exceptions. Books are way better.
As to why, it’s because I’m a human animal and it’s a need. You can tell because once satisfied you lose all interest in whatever it was for awhile.

Mostly because boobs are pretty great.
Why do you like chocolate?
