    Sometimes Pornhub is just a little too softcore when all you want is to see a woman turned into a human urinal while a naked clown juggles in the background and an amputee uses their stub to stubfuck a chick wearing a Bigfoot costume and crying.

    Simple pleasures.

    Jokes on you: I only like the trashy porn. I wanna cum in some dumpster hole, walk away, shut off my VPN, and rejoin society.

    That’s what the whole point of this is. if I wanted to cum in something classy, I’d put in the effort to fuck a real person. but I don’t, because who has the time?

    And don’t act like you’re any better

        A few years back they deleted all content that wasn’t verified in an effort to protect minors and ensure there was no content from a minor. Essentially now it’s only the free videos OF creators make and the free videos all the big production companies offer for free to get you to subscribe to their paid sites.

        It is definitely worse than it was but I guess it was for a good reason.

          That’s badly simplifying things. I mean, think about it- do you really think the only people involved in porn that ate victimized are kids? Maybe you just aren’t aware of the number of women who are forced, often literally, into that industry? Not to mention revenge porn and the like.

          Yes, the quality took a dive, but if it helped to reduce the number of videos showing an involuntary participant, I’m all for it.

    it’s actually the other way around. pornhub makes my gut wrench from how bad the quality is. xvideos is mostly smut but has some good stuff.

    edit: i should clarify. it’s not entirely true what i said. but pornhub tends to have “commercial” porn which is mostly from the US and is reaaaaly bad. they treat women worse than cattle in a slaughterhouse. if you look at stuff from asia in general (china / japan), you see the difference in quality. amateur stuff is also mostly good because people are in it voluntarily, instead of because they need money.

      people are in it voluntarily

      That’s an assumption. Plenty of “amateur” producers are still in bad situations. There was the recent OF scandal of pimps forcing girls to produce content. There’s private recordings that were made in good faith and later publicly distributed (i.e. revenge porn.) There’s women that posted on Reddit when they were 19, and now that they’re 25 they can’t seem to scrub the pictures off the net. If you’re looking at a real live person, there’s a non-zero chance that they don’t love that you’re looking.

      I’m not saying don’t look at pornography. Just don’t take it for granted that anything you find was ethically sourced. The only assuredly ethical choice for cranking your hog is what the real freaks post to AO3.

        yeah i get that. also comics, as it doesn’t involve a real person. also, what’s AO3?

        Im not going to pretend to be an expert on this, but my understanding is that the condition for women in japanese porn is pretty bad.

        That’s interesting, and kinda in line with how it felt for me being in Asia … but that was going off of gut feelings, and compared to sex work in the UK

        I mean they’re right. The problem with PornHub isn’t that it’s too vanilla or something (I really prefer vanilla) but that almost everything on it is hyperreality. It’s the kind of sex that you could, at age 13, imagine is really hot but then grow out of.

        Watching it is just distracting and funny, like you’re watching a parody of sex. It’s hyperpalatable in the way a McDonald’s hamburger or a MrBeast video are – which is totally what some people are into.

        I don’t need a deep, intimate connection with my porn, but I would like to feel like the humans in/creating it might actually be authentically enjoying themselves. That scarcely exists on sites like PH, so why would I waste my time trying to find it?

      They used to be great, but they deleted a lot of their old content and are shells of their former selves. Most of the time they’re 4-6 minute clips.

      When i was hooked to porn i just used reddit (admittedly only has short clips rather than full scenes but i guess i didn’t know that lol) and I don’t really get why people would use xvideos and pornhub, because it feels like you’re about to get a virus whenever you use them. Whereas you can basically get all the stuff you need from reddit or even twitter at one point in history, and it felt more curated.

      So it isn’t important but if anyone could help me understand the logic I’d at least expand my understanding of the internet i guess. It’s something that still baffles me to this day when i see memes like this.

      Edit: who the fuck is downvoting this?

            It takes a tiny bit of tuning of if you use NoScript with Firefox you can block individual URLs within the sites as well. A list of 12 urls, find the one for the site you’re on and the video being hosted and it’ll block everything else trying to call including trackers, ads, “click here to continue”.

            Don’t, use browsers with built in support like Firefox or Brave (idc if the founder is homophobic, I’m using it to watch gay porn so he can suck it, I know he wants too 😘)

        I never got a virus on my android phone. I steer clear of browsing porn on my laptop for this very reason. I am also fighting this addiction, so I am only looking less than half the time. I try to steer clear of it at the same time I fall prey to it. Reddit porn is bogus. I need a story.
