Wow I would have thought if everyone had food and shelter then we would have more pornography, not less. And I’d also wager we would have better quality porn too. Along with better quality of a lot of other things really
“I want a sandwich but i can’t afford one. I guess I’ll go watch porn and hire a prostitute.”
I don’t understand that.
Have you ever met a real human? 🙄
I’d say get back in the shower.
That is making the assumption that pornography and prostitution only exist because people need food and shelter.
The rich porn stars (they do exist) would be a contradiction to this theory.
I agree. For some people, I think pornography and prostitution are their preferred jobs.in your scenario, they would be more empowered to speak up for themselves. Right now, with food and shelter being a concern, people may not always feel comfortable turning jobs down.
Nah, if I had guaranteed food and shelter I’d be filming pornography all day every day.
You are nieve. Some sex workers enjoy their jobs.
You forget about furry porn. Furries draw porn because we like it, not because we make money at it (but money allows those of us who do it to actually potentially live off it).
Edit: or to put it another way, someone drew furry porn and discovered they could make money doing it, not the other way around.
Not admitting to any sort of experience here, but if any aspiring artists come across this:
Get yourself a manager. Even if you’re not that popular yet, just have a friend handle the communication, commission slot scheduling and payment processing for you. Because no matter how much passion you go into the job with, eventually you will fall into playing online therapist for a guy with a name like “VirusDog24” whose wife is pretty unhappy with the amount of money he keeps spending on commissions and who keeps asking for way too many alt versions. But you kinda have to keep him happy because he does pay so well and comes back all the time due to some weird parasocial attachment.
No matter how good the pay is, stuff like that can really pull the fun out of a hobby, hypothetically.
