I agree, but it gets even worse than your individual impacts. All these, mostly women have now essentially made themselves vulnerable to blackmail both if their own feelings and views about things change, as well as if society/culture changes.

Beyond that, they are both now vulnerable to being pressed into service of unscrupulous criminal, as well as our current criminal government agencies, and they can also make themselves ineligible for many government related jobs outside of very specific roles, e.g., honey pots, femme fatale, etc. unless they are willing to expose their lurid past to partners, parents, and their community/social circles.

It is a little known idea that the government’s background investigations are more interested in whether you can be blackmailed and whether you are easily bribed (i.e., lack a moral or principled character) not what you actually did.

An example would be a woman who refused to tell her parents that she was picked up for shoplifting when she was younger, which her older brother, acting as her father to bail her out. She was denied a clearance in spite of being rather expert in her field, not because of what she did as a girl, but her inability to tell her parents out of cultural pressure, demonstrating that she could just as easily be pressured by anyone else.

Are these 18-22 y/o floozies going to want to come clean about their actions, even publicly, later in life when they have a career, children, a husband they snagged, and maybe want to run for some public office?

This is actually a national security threat on many levels, including for corporate espionage. “Hello Mrs Technical Manager of Corporate R&D, remember when you did OF in a past life you wanted to leave behind, it would be a shame if you didn’t tell us what you are working on and give us technical specs, and then somehow accidentally your old OF content coincidentally surfaced by being sent to all your coworkers and family members”.

It Is basically the Epstein operation on a lower level, larger scale, and future farming operation. It’s no coincidence that there are similarities between people involved with OF and the Epstein operation. The ramifications of this are massive national, social, and cultural security threats. And I say that based on modeling I’ve done but will leave out for the time being because it will distract from the overall issue.

Any healthy society would ban all OF type content immediately on national security threat grounds. And no, it is not free speech any more than giving secrets to hostile actors of any sort or level; state, corporate, or generally criminal. The only alternative would be to keep a public register of all people who have ever done pornography of any kind that anyone and everyone could look up. There should be no objections of course since it’s all fine, and it is being retained by bad actors anyways, so there is no reason it should not be public.

The only saving grace may very well be AI and its power to allow for obfuscation, i.e., there’s no telling what is or is not real anymore unless it is irl. See the end of the OP for reference examples.

By this logic we should ban all extra marital relationships as well. Add to that mandatory DNA tests for all kids just in case.

People will do things in private that they do not want known. No amount of legislation will fix it.

I agree with what you are saying, and people should definitely be allowed to do whatever they like in private as long as it is legal and consentual.

That said, OF is not private, and that kind of negates your point.

Aren't some of the interactions on OF private chats? Kind of like sexting and caming? Let us say you limit it all to one on one private interactions, it still causes the same issues you mention.

Requiring mandatory DNA tests (I.e the anti France) would be amazing! Men shouldn’t be on the hook to raise kids which aren’t there’s, and the men who is the biological father should be required by the state to do their job.

Banning infidelity is another thing entierly, but DNA parental tests are the bomb.

Not enough people point out the connection between hacking the male libido and powerful forces operating in the shadows with an agenda.

Men get so stupid when they think with their member instead of their brain.

This is well known by your local spymaster, and all nerdy HN types should be extremely suspicious of beautiful women asking them questions. Femme fatales and honeypots are some of the lowest cost, easiest ways to get powerful, horny men to spill the beans on just about anything.

I mean, isn't that part of the game though? If you don't want to play then don't
