If humanity suddenly vanished and all that would be left of our existence is all the videos ever filmed. How much of that would be porn? What would other civilizations think of us? Fucking perverts, aren’t we?

      Actually, recent trends have shown a dramatic decrease in birth. This is why in the last 10 years republicans are trying to break roe v wade. They want more future workers to exploit.

    Most people have a biological imperative to get their rocks off.

    We live in a society that is becoming more and more isolated by the day.

    Put those two things together and you’re gonna end up with a literal fuckload of porn.

    As someone that works with data archival its really hard to keep videos around most media storage would be gone in a few decades.

    Listen: Our endless output of porn is the reason why aliens continue to leave us alone! They don’t want to mess up this good thing that just keeps coming.

    What would other civilizations think of us?

    Well, you can’t know about that. Maybe there’s a sex planet full of slutty aliens out there.

    An aside: I wonder how much the global population-increase will lower once we get tech like holodecks.

    I interpret this as a problem statement, so I can think of a few solutions: We accept the dominance of porn culture and launch a quality offensive for porn, or we recognize a lack of asexual culture and launch a quality offensive for ace culture. Or we all pretend that porn doesn’t exist and leave the status quo as it is.

    I’m pretty sure any species that reproduces sexually would be considered a bunch of perverts. You ever been around a cat in heat? Fucking perverts.

    Other civilizations? A whole buttload of alien abduction stories center on anal probes and extracting DNA by sexually assaulting people. Many times, with a grey alien in a wig banging a human.

    Aliens are horndogs, too!

    Another point that I didn’t see mentioned: some can make a lot of money, or just easier money, compared to getting a real 9-5 type job.

      everyone sells their bodies/time, some just know what their time is worth better than others

    Perhaps other civilizations would have a healthier outlook on sex and wouldn’t view it as perverse to produce porn, rather as natural.
