That reminds me of the time I was in Philadelphia and there was a full on porno mag sitting, open, face up, in the middle of the street. The standard for shame has dropped! And yes, every woman can become a sex worker so easily these days, but I wonder why so many of them are gravitated to this work. It is a shameful occupation, but it is getting more popular.
porn, sex work, onlyfans...its a "growth industry." meanwhile, wages are stagnating, inflation is up, women are paid less, rents are astronomical, homelessness is exploding...
so usually their "boyfriend" or some other creep in their life says "hey you can make money selling your body" Usually with an offer of drugs or rent money up front.
Add in a decade of previous child abuse and trauma, untreated by therapy that they cannot afford, a mountain of school debt, and a culture that rewards "hotness" above all else, and you have....lots of online sex workers.
in all societies that have major inequality you see lots and lots of sex work. Look at the brothels in the Guilded age or concubines in the ancient world. The more inequality there is, the more there is the mega rich and mega poor, the more you have sex work. Drastic inequalities breed it. people selling their bodies to eat. It's a sickening plight on the human race and everything to do with exploitation.
The least we can do is not feed it (speaking of myself).
And yeah, lots of studies out there on how much worse high speed porn made PMO addiction. Watch "The great porn experiment" on youtube. It was a totally different world 20 years ago when it took minutes to fap to a JPEG or an hour to see a 2min clip. Sure, I was up all night trying to get the damn thing to load, but I wasnt rewiring my brain with crazy dopamine over stimulation and I wasnt able to find weird fetish shit.
Now it takes 0.02 seconds to load 100 images of fetish P. not the same.
