These days, there's lots of headlines about major websites banning porn, unbanning porn, selling porn, buying porn, and so on. Many porn consumers are baffled by the idea of people...
paying for porn?! Why pay for what exists in unfathomable quantities floating for free out there in the ether? Well, believe it or not, not everyone who pays for porn is a multi-millionaire frittering away their wealth frivolously. For just a couple bucks, you might have the best jerk-off session of your life. Here's five reasons why people pay for porn!
1. To be a patron of the arts
Everything is so corporate these days, with most media being owned by only a handful of massive international companies. There's not a ton of opportunities in life it patronize artists and creators directly. Like it or not, porn is at least a craft if not an art. To be able to contribute directly to work that you personally enjoy is the best capitalism has to offer!
2. You get what you pay for
So too in this capitalist world, it's true that you get what you pay for. There may be tons of free porn out there, but the market economy guarantees that the paid stuff is better! Otherwise, nobody would pay for it! I'm pretty sure that's economics 101. Don't believe me? Buy a clip of your favorite fetish for a buck and see how it goes!
3. More intimate connection
Many sites offer you the opportunity to subscribe directly to creators that you're a fan of. And this creates a rather personal and intimate connection with the person you're masturbating to. And let's be honest, that's better than masturbating to a total stranger! Of course, sometimes these parasocial relationships with pornstars can become unhealthy, but everything in moderation !
4. Less exploitation
When you support independent artists and performers, you can be sure that you're jerking off to someone who is fully consensually filming themselves for the purpose of pornography. What I'm saying is, there's a lot of shady stuff that happens behind the scenes in "big business" pornography, so buying from performers directly is arguably a more ethical way to consume porn!
5. Niche taste
Last but not least, if you have a particular niche fetish, then you probably already know that the more specific your kink is, the more you need an esoteric creator who caters to it. The freebie videos cast a wide net to get higher views, but if you need to see a dude hanging upside covered in maple syrup getting whipped, then god knows you're paying for it!
