Comment on Why do we produce so much porn?
Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 13 hours ago
Porn is great. We are sexual beings. Your shame is unwarranted.
Also what makes you think aliens aren’t interested in our fertility rituals. As captain kirk taught us, knocking boots with aliens is awesome.
I hope they are on their way to us now for an interstellar booty call. Better yet, I hope they are covertly here now on a genetic exchange program.

I’m still not 100% on that one, but I choose to interpret it as “no one asked” or “here comes something totally unprompted”.

If so, shouldn’t it then be “Everyone:” followed by nothing?

I’m not reading this as OP shaming porn. The “fucking perverts, aren’t we?” reads (to me) as them lumping themselves in with the rest of us.
Yes, we’re indeed fucking perverts, and it’s fucking great!

Yes, I am definitely in that group. I watch porn. I just had this realisation of how much porn there is to choose from vs how much choice there on Netflix. And all that porn is basically free.

Comparing free porn to Netflix is the problem. Pornhub vs. YouTube is more comparable.
Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 12 hours ago
Perhaps. But the assumption that Aliens would find us perverted implies that this attitude is the normal one when prudism is the freakshow. Every media technology from cave painting to the internet and everything in between has been co-opted if not dominated by porn.

I mean if you look at ALL the species that have ever lived on earth in the history of earth, how many had the same sexual drive as humans? That would be in the 0.xxxxx percentage.
If you want to use logic, it would be logical to assume that chances are that aliens ARE NOT as sexually driven as us.

Wait… what? Animals are like… mostly driven by food and sex. Humans are not an outlier. Animals also don’t have human morals or value consent, so many will attempt to fuck humans or other species against their consent, often very harmfully for the subject. Animals masturbate. Animals have incredible specializations specifically for sexual selection, with no impact or even detrimental effects for their survival. Humans aren’t even the only animals to have recreational sex. All of evolution is optimizing for the best probability to survive and have sex. Sex is what life is.
I don’t agree with any of the assumptions you’re making about humans being an outlier. We’re not even particularly remarkable, sexually. If aliens reproduce sexually, why wouldn’t they be sexually driven? That’s literally the main thing evolution optimizes for. Everything else is just secondary, and only is prioritized if it increases the likelihood of surviving to reproduce.

I think any assumption of Aliens would be a mistake.

If we compare humanity to other species on earth, the year-round horniness without any specific mating seasons is fairly uncommon. There’s not really a good reason to assume that a sentient alien species works the same way.
Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 11 hours ago
Maybe my aspirational alient sex party is an unintentional horror show where they want to have sex with us via cellular absorption and DNA fusion followed by a binary fision phase resulting in hybridization of both partners then cloning of the hybrids into an unknown number of offspring.
New kink unlocked. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 12 hours ago
True. There is amazing diversity with and amongst species.
tanisnikana@lemmy.world 12 hours ago
The species as a whole is sexual; individuals probably are, but sometimes not.
Sorry, just wanted to leave a little space for asexual people like me.

Porn and sex work itself aren’t bad, and are natural extensions of our human condition.
The shameful parts are the people who create sex trafficking rings, child/incest porn, and porn that imitates child/incest porn. There’s probably more shameful uses of porn, as we are also a degenerate society in a lot of respects.

Aliens will be as interested in our sex lives as we are interested in the sex lives of spawning fish. There may be detached scientific curiosity, but no alien boners from human porn.
Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 4 hours ago
May I introduce you to rule 34? As interested in Spawning fish? Mermaids my dude. Plus that Japanese Octopus stuff. There is no limit to the depths of our desires.
I’m sure the Japanese have a word for fish porn. I just don’t want to know what it is.
