I'd argue that erotic sources are nothing new. Consider swimsuit calendars and pinup girls. You could even look at the shows from the sixties and seventies to find people being chosen for sex appeal. For instance, there's the classic question for Gilligan's Island: Ginger or Mary Ann. The debate was literally over their relative sex appeal. This isn't a new trick. I'd suggest that perhaps the style of seduction has changed, but the negative response is wholly new, at least among the targeted recipients.

Its not about the sex appeal, its about actual sex Depictions of that existed in the 60s and 70s in the US but was limited to some magazines, there was stigma of obtaining, possessing, browsing. There was stigma on the creators, and the creators relied on producers Pretty much all of those frictions are gone, and now its an algorithm fueled funnel to independent creators and their highly interactive porn, from social media to subscription feeds. live streams weekly like a tv show from any adept creator. in some areas there’s a non-negligible to high chance that any pretty woman you meet and exchange social media with has a link to her porn or “content”, all while the followup direct messages never come for a more casual or nontransactional relationship, if replied to at all. a world where the strangers, random porn actors, are still accessible in a separate tab, or suggested on the site where the other girl’s profile led to. I’ve been at pool parties and bars where a girl shows me her OnlyFans content feed on her phone, just scrolling. I think this has nothing to do with the consistency of an outlet, for a tease. And recognizing it as different explains the demand for these neutered films. A lot of people, the target audience, wants a break from being targeted.
