I’m not super into porn and don’t really consume it. However, I am interested in fighting censorship. They will not stop at porn. They’re already labeling anything LGBTQ as porn so they can ban it. Sex education is already on the chopping block most places.

A content creator I follow who spoke on the subject explained it very well: Erotic content is the canary in the coal mine.

Conservative far-right groups attack it first in order to have an excuse to label those who condemn these abuses as “degenerates” and perverts; and it is extremely easy to associate queerness with eroticism, and thus re-criminalize homosexuality and other non-conformist identities.

This is only the first step, and they will not stop until they have destroyed everything.

First they came for paid porn.
I did not speak up, because I did not pay for porn…

Are you asking why a sexually reproducing species is horny?

Your second sentence suggests that pictures and video cannot possibly have any artistic value, and I think common sense suggests that you’re wrong, even when the people are naked and doing various things.

As for your general question, I think the people who are trying to censor us have the burden of explaining why they deserve that power. There are certain areas where censorship is definitely a good thing, but very often we find people trying to take control of societal communication for selfish reasons, generally money or power, and those people can go fuck themselves.

Biology

No one wants to watch the same tired clip over and over forever while having the daily wank.

Mostly because boobs are pretty great.

I’ve got a fairly large body of art that straddles the line between NSFW and SFW.

Overall, my content is photography of women and my audience trends mostly female. I view this as a version of success - I’m a straight male person and I feel like if my audience was more male-trending, they’d just be appreciating the boobies instead of the human form, often times nude or scantily clad, artistically presented.

The nude in art is something we’ve had for a long long time, we’ve never really gotten tired of it. I haven’t run out of new and interesting things to do with it. Photographers of nudes in days past didn’t have access to the latest LED technologies, at the very least. And. likewise, genetic variation is always turning out a new face.

And, dono, I get that just because I’m fairly unbothered by nudity that some people might be uncomfortable and thusly my art is NSFW. You wouldn’t want it as your desktop pattern on a work PC, right? But it’s still art and people find joy in it and I’ve spent a lot of time developing it.

Okay, but then there’s everything else! Pretty girls get away with more than chubby girls who get away with more than trans girls, so it’s always been a version of policing and it thusly leads to the thin end of the wedge where more things, important things like how to understand when you are actually being groomed or that LGBTQ people have always existed or how to not get a disease, get lumped into the same category, so I’m annoyed because people want to make porn go away, then my art go away and then do a bunch of other dastardly deeds, none of which any of us really want to have happen.

I don’t like the framing of this question.

Boards of Canada set it to music very well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-FI6D8ZXpc

Now that the show is over
And we have jointly exercised our constitutional rights
We would like to leave you with one very important thought

Sometime in the future, you may have the opportunity
To serve as a juror in a censorship case or a so-called obscenity case
It would be wise to remember that the same people
Who'd stop you from listening to Boards Of Canada
May be back next year to complain about a book, or even a TV program

If you could be told of what you can see or read
Then it follows that you can be told what to say or think
Defend your constitutionally protected rights
No one else will do it for you, thank you

It really isn’t obvious to you why people consumer it?

I like to watch women have sex.

Cuz freedom
