on pornhub videos with no source, which is most of them, how do you know shes acting? How do you know she’s really 18? How do you know she’s enjoying any of it? You don’t. It’s that simple. You are making these assumptions to spare yourself guilt, so you can go on watching porn without having to waste even a second considering if you’re masturbating to the literal rape of a trafficked woman. The thing is sometimes, you aren’t, but sometimes you are. Especially if you watch porn a lot.
Unless you’re asserting that sex trafficking simply doesn’t happen or is so rare that out of the hundreds of videos you’ve probably seen none of them could be from trafficking?? Because that would be an extremely naive thing to think. Sex trafficking is extremely profitable and porn makes it moreso. Globally sex trafficking accounts for the majority of revenue from human trafficking, at least 99 BILLION dollars, at least half of this revenue is from porn.
I would also like to add that at least 71% of all human trafficking victims are female, and the average age that girls enter the sex trade in the US is 12-14 years old. Remember that’s just in the US, victims elsewhere are often much younger (though I’m not including that as a main point as i don’t know how frequently this makes it into porn, most girls in these countries are exclusively trafficked for brothels)
So, by the chances of it you have likely got off to a trafficking video at some point. If you watch porn a lot you have probably orgasmed to rape a few times. If you’re porn addicted you’ve likely even enjoyed the rape of a child once or twice (even if the title says they’re 18).
But! Enough of all that! Let’s say that the girls women in these kinds of videos are really just actresses, that are willingly doing porn. Does that make it okay? Even willing porn actresses exist in a culture of coercion, manipulation, and blackmail. Many many prolific porn actresses, mostly ex actresses, have described being threatened with violence if they don’t do something, being told they won’t be paid unless they do it, had the scene change in the middle of filming, had boundaries pushed, been forced to work with people they’ve explicitly said they don’t want to work with, had sex acts forced on them without their knowledge, been intentionally hooked on hard drugs to trap them in the industry. And much worse.
There are sources for each of these on the website i took these from
But again, enough about that! Let’s say that’s rare and that MOST actresses love their jobs and are even doing these kind of extreme scenes willingly. Let’s exist in this little fantasy for a moment. Even then, does it make it okay? I wouldn’t say so. The audience is still being aroused by and getting off to the pain and non-consent (even if it’s completely fantasy). The fantasy of her saying no, of her being in pain, of her crying real pleading tears for it all to stop, of her rape, that’s what makes you orgasm?? And you don’t think that makes you a shitty disgusting person? I think it does.
It’s not “vanilla” to not be aroused by abuse, rape, pain- sorry the “fantasy” of abuse, rape and pain. Being against an industry that profits off of sex trafficking and that abuses and manipulates actresses, does not make us prudes or vanilla. It makes us decent human beings with basic fucking empathy for women.
Believing this kind of sex isn’t a healthy natural display of human sexuality, and shouldn’t be promoted as such or readily available to the masses, including any kid with an internet connection, doesn’t make us prudes or vanilla. It means we’re concerned about the cycle porn is already creating in which adolescents fall down the rabbit hole of porn and by the time they are adults they can’t make meaningful relationships, regular sex isn’t arousing, men can’t erections unless they’re death gripping or physically beating a partner, and they need to find more and more extreme and taboo types of porn and kink that eventually it’s fatal. Women are increasingly dying from “consensual kinky sex gone wrong” this same excuse is being used to get men off from murder charges, and it’s working. And here’s another. How many of these men are really just violent abusers who’ve found a loophole by claiming it’s kink gone wrong?
Tell me again how porn isn’t harmful and how kink is just elaborate role play. The millions of trafficked and murdered women disagree
