Kim Kardashian brilliantly parlayed a revenge porn incident into fame and money. I'm guessing whoever this guy is, that's not his backstory.

Jaron Lanier on porn:

>Mr. Lanier, who discourses eloquently on subjects like limerence and lust in his book, says: “The future I’d prefer to see is one where people use VR together to make really crazy imaginative experiences that might be sexual or might not. Where you turn into fantastical creatures and that sort of thing. Or when your bodies merge in some ways. That to me is so much more interesting than the porn. Porn is a product of the cinema era. It’s an old-fashioned way of thinking, locked in the 19th century.”

Porn sucks vs reality. And the general attitude that it is normal and healthy is probably wrong. The future of intimacy is human.

In a post pandemic world? I'm guessing germ free porn will be even more popular than it is currently.

Also: Studies show availability of porn reduces incidents of rape. As a rape survivor, I'm very pro all things that reduce incidents of it.

If you don't enjoy porn yourself, then don't consume it.

This depends very much upon your reality.

And movies suck vs reality, yet we still watch Netflix.

I bet Jerry Falwell Jr. wishes he and his wife stuck with porn, instead of going into business and the bedroom with their pool boy in reality.
