We don't really want anyone to be forced into an activity that doesn't provide fair economic benefit. But that's a tough line to figure out. Those Brazilian dudes down in the mud finding emeralds would probably rather be doing something else for a living, but the only jobs in their area are mining emeralds. Is that coercion or is it an unfortunate circumstance of birth relative to capitalism? One can argue either way.
And is a woman doing porn being coerced if she can make $2,000 in one day compared to making $120 behind the counter at Arby's? I would argue that it's her decision to make, not mine, and we shouldn't judge her for it.
I think the key is whether the person is making their own decision versus whether they're being forced with threats of violence or other retribution. That's obviously something no one wants to see, but I also suspect it's kind of rare in the real world. (Of course, then we get into drug addiction as an incentive, but now we're wandering further afield.)

Yep, the waters are extremely muddy.
Furthermore, why even slut shame in the first place? Loose women make the world a better place, IMO.

Less young men are having sex than ever before. Women are still having sex however it's with the men in the top 10% (chads).

So, the men who aren't getting swiped right in dating apps have given up and are turning to porn instead.
Once these women get used up and have a couple of kids, they start looking for a prince charming (simp) to save them.
Nice guys really do finish last. it has to be really difficult today for the average guy who has no experience meeting women.
Like a lot of things, the expanse of porn is just another symptom of the decay of society.

I blame the guys. The ones who aren’t getting laid are probably the chronically online sort.
Take your ass to a house party or the bar and catch you a drunk straggler like your grandfather and his grandfather before him.

A lot of Christian denominations endorse the idea that masterbating alone is a sin.
That’s absurd lol

I’ve read this and I do wonder if men aren’t just as depressed but less likely to seek treatment due to social pressures..
