What about movies, music, books, games, sports?
Why do you think porn stars should not be treated like any other actor, artist, author, musician, developer, sportsperson?
A lot of the things we do and consume are poor, distant derivatives that barely resemble the real thing. Pornography is easily among the worst offenders.
Again you bring technology into it, when spectator sports have existed long before the first Colosseum.
> Pornography is easily among the worst offenders.
How? Why?
If you go your school league game, you're not doing sports but you hang out with people from your community. Modern professional sports are much like pornography: completely empty in both regards.
Again, why do you think they're any different from movies, music, books, art, or any other form of entertainment you approve of?
Surely you find joy in something? Why do you believe people should not find joy in sports or porn?
It's like asking someone how can they approve of steak and disapprove of marshmallows. As if they were the same thing because they both provide some calories and can be eaten.
Porn has storylines. And I suggest watching WWE :)
> It's like asking someone how can they approve of steak and disapprove of marshmallows.
It's like a connoisseur of steak condemning the consumption of marshmallows for made-up hypocritical reasons.
Same with marshmallows. They're food, technically, but a poor, distant ersatz of a real meal. Both in taste and nutrition.
So this is a story to tell:
Rush - Theatrical Trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XA73ni9eVs
Conor McGregor: Notorious - Official Trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syOgWwz2fiE
But when I watch it play out in real time it's not a story?
Almost every culture guilts people into remaining in unsuccessful relationships and makes people feel like a failure if they have to break off a relationship.
Saying this will make people, including any trans friends you have, go "hmm" at you if you're not careful.
There are probably cisgender people with this as a kink, but the concept is almost exclusively promoted by people who fear trans women and think transitioning is all about sexual gratification. Which is complete nonsense.
Besides...it's just another kind of transformation fantasy even for those hypothetical cisgender people. It's harmless. It's not a dysfunction unless you're some kind of weird prude who thinks sexual fantasies are dysfunctional. Go off and imagine yourself as some fantastical creature being gently, consensually railed by a dragon. It's fun.
