Short realitycheck https://aella.substack.com/p/fetish-tabooness-vs-popularity https://aella.substack.com/p/fetish-tabooness-vs-popularity The authors of the french study will likely be shocked and appalled to find out that men werent the target audience for 50 shades of grey. Prudes better stick to reading only the first 4th from the left. She isnt kidding with taboo, human sexuality can get pretty fucked up. Then again, no kink shaming. You do you. Play safe :)

  Yes the selection bias will be extreme. Then again, its worlds above the french study in regards to scientific standards. And while the absolute numbers will be off, the gender ratios and the position on the taboo scale will likely give an overall idea. Just thought i mention it since gender preferences shouldnt be news to anyone who heard of tumblr. Kinky and degrading stuff is just not an exclusively male, or even male dominated domain. Maybe treating women like they have no agency on this is pretty sexist. Again, none of this takes away from the concerns for sex workers safety. Once money enters the picture, consent considerations have to change and safeguards must apply. Which sites like Kink do a great job with to give a positive counterexample. Go check out the 2013 documentary by the same name¹. Here its worth mentioning that they are especially hard hit by signaling pressuring their payment processors. Its a great example for how this kind of unguided actionism by ideologues always harms the people who least deserve it. Yes they do torture porn, but they do it like it should be done. ¹ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2017634/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2017634/
