Yeah it is absolutely everywhere and in that regard I don’t fault China’s analysis that some have translated as saying it is a “disease”.
It has contributed MASSIVELY to a rise in sex work in my opinion, but finding information on that is a mess because of the muddied terminology between compensated sex activities vs pornographic sex work. I think we can all at least agree an increase in sex work is not a good thing and aiming not to increase the population of sex workers who are in the massive majority women.
Yeah there’s defo been an explosion of it, and i suppose it’s better that the pornstars have more autonomy over their body/work than they would on porn sets of the past where the abuse is rampant, but at the same time it’s sad how easy it is to just start posting on it and how normalised it’s become.
I’ve known quite a few people to do it for some extra money - that they didn’t even necessarily need - because they figured they’re a sex positive person and don’t mind doing the minimum level of taking nude pictures for money - but soon enough they realised that it can be a very degrading process, and you get all sorts of weird people from your past suddenly watching your ‘content’ and it doesn’t feel good. And then it’s out there online, and someone’s got those pictures to do whatever they want with.
At the end of the day it’s also still exploitative in a literal labour sense because Onlyfans takes a big cut.
