Got Porn? Want Some? 😁

                               

I'm bored, so when that happens, I find things to read, trends, stuff related to society, then get more curious and dive in. I really should get a life, but that sounds like it would take effort, and I have none to spare so...so today's topic is, about the smutty salacious sex industry. 

One interesting detail to me, according to the little compilation thingie below, is the rise in "fetish" by about 70%. I'm not really sure what "fetish" means to different people as it's arbitrary and subjective. I mean some people think a blowjob is kinky or "fetishy", so, who knows what constitutes that genre or title, but it's increasing either way. 

 

So then we go to the OnlyFans and other platforms chart, and it's baffling to me with so much free porn on the Internet, who it is that is subscribing to these? According to some online info, and of course I can not attest to the veracity of said online info, but:  

In 2023, OnlyFans generated $6.6 billion in gross revenue, a record-breaking year for the online video platform:  Revenue growth OnlyFans' revenue increased 20% year-over-year, and its profit before tax increased 25%. 

That's a lot of dollars for some nudie pics and videos. But obviously that income is not distributed equally, so a few make a bunch, and most make basically nothing. 

Most OnlyFans creators make between $150 and $180 per month, totaling around $2,000 per year, but this can vary widely. High-profile creators like celebrities often earn over $100,000 per month, with about 300 creators making over $1 million annually.

I freely admit to having no idea how this works, so am not sure why OnlyFans is popular. Is that because it's live, chat, one-to-one? Or something else? No idea, don't really care, but I know that it upsets some people. Not just OnlyFans, but this sort of entertainment in general. 

 

In 2023, OnlyFans creators earned more than the combined salaries of all NBA players:  

OnlyFans creators total earnings $6.6 billion.

NBA players total earnings $4.9 billion.

A $1.7 billion difference. 

Apparently the highest-paid NBA player Stephen Curry (who?) earned $52 million.  

Former Disney star Bella Thorne is estimated to earn $11 million per month on OnlyFans. 

Australian rapper and songwriter Iggy Azalea is estimated to earn $9.2 million per month.

So this pisses off some sports fans...which is odd to me. I mean, both spectator sports and spectator sex is considered "entertainment" right? The "fans" sit on the sidelines and watch others engage in activity they find enjoyable and pay the entertainers to perform. The irony is that it's mostly guys that watch pro-sports and mostly guys (often the same guys) that watch porn so...why do they value one over the other? Makes no sense to me. Whether you are a fan of Opera, sports, Bukkake porn, enjoy watching deep sea fishing shows, ballet, car racing, synchronized butt sex, speed Origami, regular Hollywood movies etc...it's all just entertainment right? 

I think some people get hacked off as they feel that no effort was required. To become a pro-athlete you need a genetic advantage obviously, and then about 42 billion hours of training, working out, diet, more training, practice, clean living, exercise and so on to even have the hope of making it to the minor leagues, much less the major leagues. (Leagues? Not sure that applies to all sports-team-gatherings-what-cha-ma-call-them-groups.) 

Anyway, to be successful with the porn stuff some good genetics will help and then you...spread your legs. That's it. No other training, practice or working out required. So yeah, I can sort of see some of the detractors points, lol. No effort, just be born with a certain look, and/or a good plastic surgeon and then bend over, suck, swallow, lick, stick, get stuck, fucked, stuffed, rammed, railed, ran through, romped on and get paid. Anyway, enough of this topic. I know little about pro-sports and am essentially celibate (unless face sitting counts) so...no fucking idea why I even did this post. 🤣
