You cannot condemn AI deepfakes as exploitative and objectifying, yet accept porn as harmless. 'Consent' is not as simple as the woke left claims it is.
But working for pay is not inherently abusive, exploitative, or traumatic... Being made to perform sex acts we don't want to or have sex with people we don't want to is...
There is nothing special about sex it’s just a biological function. Dogs with the IQ of 4 have sex. Everybody does not have a similar psychological profile as you, some are able to compartmentalize sex with minimal damage. All exchange of resources under a market economy is coerced and exploitative in some fashion. If someone prefer SW to driving Uber or being a lawyer, why should force them into a profession they don’t want with criminalization and stigmization. There are Onlyfans models with college degrees for a reason. https://nypost.com/2022/11/28/arizona-teacher-samantha-peer-banned-from-onlyfans/amp/
If sex weren't 'special' then we wouldn't understand sexual assault, rape, etc as traumatic. A man penetrating your body is not nothing. Dog psychology is not the same as human psychology. Also, humans have sex for pleasure, unlike dogs.
Other primates like Bonobos and some breeds of monkeys have have sex for pleasure. In fact homosexuality is observed in some mammals. A penis going into a vagina is the same regardless of species. We take rape serious because of lack of consent, the same reason we take kidnapping and slavery serious, you are not allowing the other person to do a cost benefit analysis of the action
If someone kidnap me, and made me work on a farm, I would be traumatized. The importance we put on sex is, based off the fact that even secular people in the USA, base their morals from Judeo-Christian values. You can’t prove God exist so the importance of sex is illogical, beyond the cost benefit of stds and pregnancy.
The ongoing dehumanization of sex is an abomination. We are animals, but we are not dogs. Sure, some already damaged people are able to disassociate their consciousness from their bodies to make a buck by providing sex to strangers, but using that as an argument to be permissive towards prostitution (and the inevitable sex trafficking which accompanies it) is psychopathic, disgusting and indefensible.
Excellent essay.
Thank you.

Right but if someone stole your wallet you wouldn't feel traumatized for life in the way you do if someone rapes you. Why do you think that is?

Of course it's different. What a silly thing to say.
