    Barring any of the other context here, you need to back up and think about why you think it’s so awful for a nude picture to exist.

    Are you helping or are you pushing your own moral code onto those who may not share it?

      I’m giving my opinion. If nudes are so harmless, why is revenge porn such a big deal? The answer is because once your nudes are public, you are no longer in control. Any man can see your most intimate moment and do with it how they please, and you can do nothing to stop it. Your child will have to grow up knowing there are videos of your mom shoving a cucumber up her butt for a months rent.

          I don’t think it’s healthy for a child to have their friends show them pictures of their mother in intimate situations.

              You know that society is a big system right? Things other people do can have an indirect affect on me and my family. If everyone in my town smoked crack, I would get the fuck out of there, I wouldn’t gaslight people into thinking its “wrong to care about what other people do with their bodies”.

                You’re just prudish and ashamed of sex. Other people are not. Your aversion and lack of openness about sexuality is not anyone else’s problem other than your own.

                  I think sex is better off behind closed doors. Sex is extremely important to human relationships and I feel like making exposure to sex abundant hinders relationships. There’s a reason most porn stars/sex workers end up depressed and addicted to drugs.

                    Okey dokey, you do you. I prefer fucking in the park in broad daylight. There’s nothing to be ashamed of. It’s just human bodies having sex.

                    You can believe whatever you like but your magical thinking doesn’t make what you believe true.

                    You’ve got it backwards. Lots of people who face addiction, homelessness, etc turn to sex work. It pays and sometimes that’s what ya gotta do to survive. I’d argue that consent is dodgy for anyone forced to do sex work to pay rent, but barring that, whatever gets struggling folks paid is good in my book.

                    An acquaintance of mine who’s been living out of her car for some time just got a refurbished laptop that she’s now using to polish up her resume and portfolio and get a stable job doing vfx. She paid for it using money she earned via sex work - which she’s not ashamed of at all, it’s just another skill she has that opened some other doors for her. She met a fantastic partner who she’s now living with. And now that she’s got a leg under her she’s getting sober too. I’m genuinely really proud of her.

          You lose consent forever when you release porn. You can never go back on it. You might be okay with it today but you have no choice how others use it for the rest of your life.

          Also relax a bit, no need to sperg out in a civil conversation.
