(6,499 posts)I love reading threads like these. Honestly. The tangents alone are worth it.
My significant other, a woman, and I have times where she wants this kind of experience. It's all consensual, safe word in place and talked about ahead of time. She wants to be freed from the controlled nature of her days, parenting, work and so forth. There are a lot of reasons people of both sexes want to partake in it.
A girlfriend of mine from a few years ago was the first person I had been with that wanted this kind of experience. Like anything else in life, I did my research, read in various communities about it and went through the whole scene setting, expectations, safety and so forth.
And for both of the women I was with, a good part of it was also watching some of the videos that legal companies make where, as noted in a post above from someone in the industry, is all very defined and consenting. Yes, there are the wrong kinds out there with real rapes. Are they coming on the mainstream adult sites? Honestly, a lot of the discussion here is from people that don't have much experience with porn sites and those communities, instead giving the impression that they're speaking from a couple of decades ago.
My normal work has me dealing with a lot of people that are in their twenties across the whole range of years there. And my business has largely been dealing with that age range since twenty years ago when I was in my twenties. What's been interesting to watch is the number of women out there that now consume adult entertainment. It's not mainstreamed and in some ways parts of it shouldn't be, but there are so many women making adult material for themselves now that involves all sorts of fantasies that there is a huge disconnect out there.
The number of people talking about how it's evil are those that haven't realized that a huge chunk of what's out there (not the amateur material that gets posted) is all fully corporatized and simply a business. Businesses that get attacked regularly and will play above the board constantly to ensure their continued operation.
Nobody is for real rape videos out there. And it's worth making sure none are out there. But the commercialization of the fantasy is something that is a 100% legal and should always be. Otherwise we get the slippery slope like what amazon and others are doing when it comes to erotica in what they ban and censor from availability. entirely in their right, but it's the wrong approach.
