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

ComputerGeek1337

Not meaning to cause division, but really very genuinely interest in what you think about the subject, particularly as many here we no doubt struggle with real world intimacy and romantic relationships?

1. Perhaps OK one in a while? Much like a cigarette, cigar or watching Fast and Furious movies, its acted, and a bit of escapism. 

2. Generally fine, if its not interfering with real life friendships, dating, work and daily life?

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

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

    From my personal view, as a female in her 20s I find all this stuff to be super disturbing.

    Have you analised what it was that made it disturbing for you?

    I can understand the cross species thing being unpalatable but why does cartoon characters (of adults I assume) doing adult things cause such a response? 

    When you think about it, Homer and Marge Simpson must have got it on to make Bart, Lisa and Maggie and I assume these cartoons were not being shown on a kids site, so why should adults not be able to watch cartoons in a way they want?

    If you think of the violence, abuse and sexual content of many songs now then the cartoon seems rather tame by comparison, especially as its format makes it clear it is complete fantasy while the song lyrics are much more likely to be seen as lifestyle advocacy.

    Do you consider the songs as objectionable? 

    I'm not trying to have a go by the way, this is more to try to understand your response.

    How sad that so many women have such trauma about sex, but it's hardly surprising when between 1 in 5 according to one estimate and 1 in 3 women will have experienced sexual violence of one sort or another. I'm not sure that it's just a generational thing, maybe 10 or 20 years down the line these now young women will say they were deeply uncomfortable and did it for approveval from a partner and now see that there was a level of cohersion?

    From my own experience, of doing something because my partner wanted to try it, is the pressure to keep doing it and do it everytime. It's like having xmas dinner everyday, it's xmas dinner because it's special, everyday is more egg and chips and I think it's the same with sex.

    I wonder how much money is really in it.

    The online market will be worth about US$78 Billion now and  US$118 Billion by the end of this decade according to this article:

    Do people pay for much,

    Yes. There are a lot of people who pay for, often, speciality interests. These can be down to the subject matter, genre or even the people themselves.

    Only Fans had a $8 Billion turnover for 2024 for exampe.

    Typically they work by releasing teaser videos to the larger free sites (the hub ones) in the hope of persuading people to subscribe to get more content focussed on their area of specialisation.

    I believe almost a third of all internet traffic is for this subject material and it is the driver for most internet development over the last few decades so it is a pretty important subject.

    When you say 'market'. Do people pay for much, or just look online for free?

    I wonder how much money is really in it.

    Porn is primarily a visual experience. There is no romance, cuddling, or emotional content

    There is some content, mostly aimed at the female or couples market that includes romance and emotional conent. As this audience is a minority then there is correspondingly less content of that nature.

    It is all demand / supply driven and the market now is massivly diverse so there is no easy labelling any more.
