Never paid for porn. There's always been plenty online for free.

I guess if you're into some niche that isn't really represented, or, someone mentioned porn games. But if you just wanna watch other humans have sex or jerk/rub, plenty will let you see that for free. Never understood paying for the basic stuff.

The 2000s were great, college students (19-23 years old) with camcorders just filming random wild hookups and sharing it online. It was never a business, it was "just because," I guess.

I suppose if you pay for it, you get a kind of guarantee the people involved are of legal age. For my above example, for all we knew it could have been high school students as well. You can't really tell from a video. And don't tell me, "if they shave down there and the girls have small breasts, they're probably underage." Look at 90% of what porn comms on fedinsfw post. It's almost all fauxbait. That's nothing new. It's just that there are a lot of fauxbait sites that are 100% legal, like MetArt (IIRC). So you know if you see that white banner at the bottom with the black text, it's probably on the up and up... but anyone can put that there. You really don't know. You just act in good faith and hope it's enough. I don't see how paying is any better, though I suppose it's a step in the right direction. Still, my funds are limited and I'm not gonna eat less to pay for something I can get for free. You can't make that make sense. Especially in the piracy comm on dbzer0.
