[Added by mods- Content Warning: Sensitive Topic] What do you think about pornography from Autistic perspective?

3. Generally no, as the pornography industry is deeply harmful to women and portray a realistic nor healthy depiction of intimacy?  

There is a lot of pornography created these days by women, for women which is a way for them to enjoy material that depicts relationships in a way that is appealing to them.

Of course not all women have the same tastes or views so this is hugely subjective.

Its the closet I'll ever get to real world intimacy, so I can't get enough 

Consumption levels will be very much driven by the libido of the person involved, but overconsumption does lead to psychological and sometimes phisiological impacts.

The issue of how this impacts your interactions with women (or men for that matter). If you find you are quite capable of seeing women and not viewing them as sex objects then you would seem to be fine, If you see someone attractive and start to imagine them in scenarios you have seen online then this is a different situation and talking it over with a therapist would be the responsible thing to do.

I have delved into the subject and I have to say the vast majority of porn out there is pretty aweful. It uses women as sex objects and the ones who become successful are the ones who tend to behave in the way men wish women behaved. I can't say that it has been a rewarding experience in general.

The nature of its use, and the endorphines it generates does make it addictive for those who have a predisposition to addiction, and this includes many autists unfortunately. I would advise to monitor yourself for addiction responses to it and if you spot these, speak to a therapist about it as it can easily become problematic.

I'll leave it at this for now and hopefully the Karens won't start with their morality judgements when we are trying to discuss the technicalities of the situation.

Thanks. No I don't watch pornography. This is done out out of principle personally. Main reason being is that the women behave like animals. For me personally I draw a line.

They behave this way because they are directed to I think you will find.

Just like in regular TV/film production there is a script (often very basic), actors (male, female and other), sound & lighting staff, support staff (makeup, technical, runners etc) and the director uses all these to make the sort of content they were instructed to make.

Many are complete amateurs and it shows. There are some quite unpleasant directors who repeatedly make quite disturbing content intentionally and there are some who take pride in trying to produce a polished piece if art with lots of sex in it. And there is everything in between.

The women are shaped in the way they behave by the instructions of the director, the interaction with their co-stars but mostly by the consumers. When something resonates with a part of the audience then more of that same content is produced and it becomes a positive feedback loop where more, more extreme and more diverse versions of the same content are created.

There is big business behind it and a heck of a lot of money being made, just not much is made by the actors.

The women are doing it to make money, a small number because they enjoy it and most because it pays fairly well and has relatively low demands on your time / effort. There is also a fairly well established route to other related work further down the line including in the likes of only fans and similar sites where they have more control over their work, but are ultimately governed by the consumers paying for the product.

So in essence I don't think the women are a problem here, it is the consumers ultimately driving the whole thing.
