Casey Gomez said:So, what you're saying is you're into Food Play?🙂
I'm certainly not judging; I always say there's a place for everyone... and let's be honest, I've got my own share of paraphilias. 😳
For me, I actually quite enjoy xxxxxxx xxxxxxxx in certain aspects of xxxxxxxx xxxxxxx.

There’s this one episode of Seinfeld where George basically conflates his appetite for food with his sexual urges🙂. They actually ended up calling him Caligula 🤣...

I read the truth and another one of those literary works by de Sade back when I was in high school—which is to say, a lifetime ago... I don't remember much, probably because I was just so disappointed by it all, though I do recall some bit about "silk"... It didn't feel like much of a scandal that she was incredibly young, or that they were close relatives, or even that they were practicing sodomy, or whatever you want to call that kind of thing... The biggest temptation, if I recall correctly, was how "they could trick her future husband in such a disgusting way"🤣 (since they made sure she stayed a virgin)

If that girl from the silk story existed today, she’d be your typical "girl next door" type, probably playing around with a dildo the size of a baseball bat... She’d be an entrepreneur, a so-called "sex worker," who broadcasts every single detail of her activities on her OnlyFans account😁

Eric Newman75 said:I wouldn't go that far. I’d say just selling out covers it—it's right there in the dictionary definition. It's an umbrella term for every sin you could possibly commit, from stripping away your dignity and ideals to straight-up betrayal.

People do all sorts of crazy things for a paycheck. You aren't exactly breaking new ground by realizing that capitalism was practically engineered to exploit that impulse.

Not even close, though it doesn't really matter because there is a massive thread running on Reddit right now about Instagram influencers:
View on reddit
so many of these influencers pose with their kids and share these incredibly private moments from their family lives... if you were to ask the women over there, or maybe just run a poll on a parenting forum, what they actually think about this behavior—specifically how they would label it:
  1. selling out
  2. exploitation
  3. something much darker
  4. and so on

I've already seen which term comes up most frequently... 🕺

Eric Newman75 said:Nah, once you actually sit down and put everything on paper, it becomes pretty obvious that you don't even really know your own language. Tell me exactly what you were doing, and I'll have no trouble at all finding you a term that’s more accurate, precise, and denotative. 🙂

you'd end up writing entire descriptive sentences or just having to invent a whole new term from scratch😁

Eric Newman75 said:Look, I wasn't just talking about things being metaphorical here—it’s really about the total lack of clear criteria. To put it more bluntly, it doesn't matter what you personally decide counts as prostitution. It’s a purely subjective take that, in 99% of cases, someone who doesn't even recognize the phenomenon as prostitution will just flat-out deny. All you've done is prove the term itself is flawed and that you're basically pulling it out of thin air.

The real issue is exactly that—they don't see it. It isn't just about the semantics or what we call things. For instance, there were times in my own career where I felt like I was essentially selling myself, without ever realizing it fit the definition of prostitution. But once you actually sit down and lay all the facts out on paper, you realize that "prostitution" is probably the closest, simplest word we have to describe what was happening... it's pretty shocking when you think about it🙂

Jose Edwards16 said:Well, I mean, there are always exceptions. Take the movie Malice in Lalaland (featuring S. Grey) from 2010, for instance.
Some quick info on the film: (just so we're clear, the links I'm dropping are just standard /YouTube and Wiki stuff, they don't lead to anything explicit).

Malice in Lalaland is an American porn Road movie that was released in 2010 by The Belgian label miss Lucifer in The distribution of Vivid Entertainment. Directed by Lew Xypher.

Most sex scenes are accompanied by music of The Belgian Southern rock band Aguardente.

Visually, the movie is actually pretty well done—it has a plot and some actual tension. And, I guess, even though it obviously has sex scenes, you could almost watch it as a "regular" movie.
Basically, the porn elements are woven into the story rather than being the whole point. So, if the title sounds familiar because of some famous book, you're probably right—the vibe and certain scenes definitely call to mind strah i prijezir in Las Vegas. Plus, there's that rock soundtrack. 🙂

S. Grey is actually a perfect example of this, because even though she isn't doing adult films anymore, she stayed in the sex work industry, or maybe even expanded her reach further...😁

Eric Newman75 said:You're really stretching the definition of prostitution there.

If you look at the actual impact on society, sexual prostitution in both its narrow and broader sense is honestly a much smaller evil than the other various forms of exploitation out there...

ruggeddriver21 said:I’ve heard some wild claim floating around that pornography makes up about 98% of the internet...
Either way, you can't escape it. It’s everywhere.
Just everywhere.

It feels like this massive, hyper-commercialized industry is just cranking out more and more content, relentlessly pushing itself into our digital lives.
The thing is, most of it is pure fiction.
You have these performers who are essentially playing roles, creating content both professionally and through their private personas, which has even ended up being analyzed in deep philosophical essays online.

I’m honestly not sure how to frame this topic without sounding a bit broad, but my general take is that porn exists primarily to serve physical cravings and impulses.
There isn't really any substance there for personal growth—it’s just a fleeting, somewhat relaxing distraction that bears absolutely no resemblance to actual real life.

I don't think it really accounts for that massive of a percentage, at least if you're looking strictly at links...
But if we're talking about prostitution, I suspect that 98% figure might actually be closer to the truth. Just to clarify my point here: prostitution shows up in almost every facet of human activity, not just when it comes to the literal sale of bodies. Of course, it's heavily intertwined with porn, but they aren't exactly the same thing. Visual and audio content meant to satisfy sexual urges has existed since long before modern civilization ever began. I remember reading somewhere that back in the days of early humans, it wasn't unusual for sexual encounters to happen right by the fire, almost like a public performance. You'd have a couple together, and their friends or family would gather around to watch. It was how the younger generation learned, and it certainly made it pretty obvious who the father was later on... quite efficient, in its own way 😍

Matthew Rodriguez9 said:Omicron just popped up on the radar, but our experts over on the forums are already claiming it’s totally harmless...

It’s just so tiny (it's micron), so I really don't see how it could actually be dangerous...
Chloe Roberts2 said:Look, as far as my own opinion goes, I’d be a donor, and even if I decided against it, I’d just go ahead and sign the formal refusal. The real headache starts when doctors begin questioning parents or relatives—brothers, sisters, you name it—about what they actually want to do with someone else's organs, even if that person carried a donor card and made their wishes crystal clear.
Then, predictably, the parents just say, "No way."

I heard this one story about a woman in a hospital who was undergoing her tenth surgery, and apparently, they harvested a kidney from her because they were short on supply, though I didn't hear it firsthand and can't really vouch for the details.

Yeah, right. And then they probably smuggled it across the border to some wealthy guy in Mexico for a transplant...😂

Carl Brown66 said:Robin Fox4, you really think picking that username was just some random coincidence? Nothing in this life happens by accident, and even the way you chose that handle proves it... 👋

That's true, it wasn't a coincidence at all, because I actually picked that name right when I was dealing with a massive, messy situation...

The evidence here is absolutely stunning, and this entire post serves as proof that in certain instances, evolution hasn't actually taken place... or more accurately, it proves that some of the people driving these discussions are still operating at a primate level of intelligence...😁
