I think it's good that you're reflecting on this. Since the 90's porn has been influencing mainstream culture a lot, and it shapes people's desires. I'm not against porn personally, but the porn industry I'm not a big fan of. Also, people get porn for free and the actors are not compensated. I definitely see how pornography influences people in this industry... It's not something that I wish to judge, but it can be hard for us because it sets certain standards that are almost impossible to achieve for some of us. As a gfe provider I constantly am expected to deliver PSE experiences regardless of how I explain that this isn't who I am and what I offer. But that's not just that. Porn just perpetuates stereotypes about a lot of people and turns people into categories and fetishes. It's dehumanizing...Thanks to LC, who in the past explained a darker side of ahegao that I knew nothing about (just not my thing). I ended up going down a rabbit hole of some really dark shit.
I think of myself as pretty open-minded, but I'm genuinely worried about how easily accessible some of this content is—stuff that can’t possibly have any positive impact on a person, especially on young, developing minds. It bothers me to know that so many "artists" are out here making models to generate content around themes that would usually be straight-up illegal. But because it’s all just "fantasy" and user-generated, it kind of slips through the cracks without any enforcement.
Which means it's just out there... and it bothers me. Anyone who remembers life before internet porn has seen the way it’s shaped society, relationships, and sexuality. Not saying that kind of stuff didn’t exist before, but we can agree it wasn’t anything like what it is today. Porn has literally shaped modern sexuality, along with all its twisted sides and the depressions that come with it.
When things like rape and incest went from taboo subjects to mainstream porn themes, it was already weird. But now, the amount of AI content out there depicting violence and the sexualization of young women is an absolute clusterfuck. At what point do we cross over from 'kink' to WTF is wrong with people? The sheer volume of this stuff being generated every day, with no moderation whatsoever, is seriously alarming. And I can't help but worry about what kind of influence it’s having on impressionable people over time. Is it just me, or does anyone else feel this way too? It can't just be me, right?
Sorry for the downer topic... but I really needed to get that off my chest.
Apparently, this comic strip book was turned into a movie. Came out in Canada in early September, 2024. I wonder how it compares to your book? I can't find it on any streaming services anywhere.Random thought: Did he forget his book or what is it a gift for me? I think it’s a gift. Why would he bring his book on a date? Should I ask him to be sure? I don’t want to ruin the vibe. I’ll just pretend I’m reading the back of it when he comes out of the shower View attachment 81498
Client: I got you this book, I know it wasn’t on your list of books but I thought you might like it.
He was right
Ehhh yeah.... Internalized misogyny isn't cute, particularly in this industry, because we really need to stick to each other for safety.Hoping the pick mes get the help they need. The self hatred of yourself and your kind is some deep issue that needs resolving
OMG, it looks good! I didn't know about it, and I want to see it.Apparently, this comic strip book was turned into a movie. Came out in Canada in early September, 2024. I wonder how it compares to your book? I can't find it on any streaming services anywhere.
TRAILER - Paying for It (2024)
A cultural snapshot of turn-of-the-millennium Toronto with subtle comic energy and a great cast, Sook-Yin Lee’s adaptation of Chester Brown’s autobiographical 2011 graphic novel is a movie only Lee could make… because it’s her story, too.mubi.com
Personally porn does not interest me at all, neither do nude photographs.I think it's good that you're reflecting on this.

I always suggest people encourage cam girls and stuff like onlyfans.. But yeah I am not fond of ahegao either for the reasons mentioned, and often the girls doing it infantilize themselves by wearing schoolgirl outfits and stuff like that......... Which makes it even more disturbing
I totally understand. I didn't meant to. The term was broaden to also include racial prejudice by your own kind the past few years. I was making a reference to the racial prejudice to invalidate people shared experience by using some very questionable (gotcha) analogy while also erasing decades if not centuries of colonization. I'll never understand such people hating themselves and their kinEhhh yeah....

I don't love calling people pick-me's, because I know where this behaviour is coming from. And I don't want to be misogynistic myself, I've had my ''I'm not like other girls'' phase when I was younger. Often when people accuse others of being pick-me's, I try to address the issue with temperance because women my generation were very much raised to be pitted against each other, and in this industry there is a lot preventing us from viewing each others as valuable peers and not competition.
Have you ever heard/seen Godspeed You! Black Emperor? Creative, unusual, and frequently mesmerizing stuff. They're often identified as a Montreal band and have a couple shows in town next month. (You probably knew all this....)I've been getting back into listening to late 80s and early 90s trance music and it is blissful
Merde, have to go back to Netflix for my insomnia episodeNot so random thought : after 300 something comments, *that* thread was locked.
Of course I have! I've never really gotten into them.. I think maybe it's me being a contrarian brat because they were so popular in Montreal when I was a teenager... A similar band I actually quite enjoy is Sigur RósHave you ever heard/seen Godspeed You! Black Emperor? Creative, unusual, and frequently mesmerizing stuff.

Yeah, I figured that was also what you were referring to. That thread was.. yeah.I totally understand. I didn't meant to.

Agreed lol very bad vibes.Not so random thought : after 300 something comments, *that* thread was locked. Let's not bring the racism subject here. We don't need another random thoughts thread to end up locked lol
Interesting that we tend to poke fun at premature ejaculators, but rarely at delayed ejaculators.
Delayed ejaculation - Wikipedia

Both are medical conditions so we should be poking fun at neither of them.
Yes, but that only because your worldview is astronomically small!All I see there is mostly useless astronomical amount of money spent.
This is why you will always be regarded as one of the really nice and kind people posting here.I've had a really good time with the clients I've seen lately. I feel really lucky.
