Is it just me or has good porn gotten harder to find?
If you dont agree with porn, this post is not for you. I totally respect your perspective, just saying this is going to be a very pro-porn and pro-sex post
I have been masturbating to porn since I was 15 (around like, 2020) and I generally prefer the solo and more softcore porn type stuff. (I am still a virgin and have spent most of my life single so it became a very integral part of avoiding my sexual frustration leaking into my regular life). I just need something to get me out of my head space just enough that I can orgasm which I cant do without anything, its just what works for me. Because the stuff I like is less intense than what most people think of with porn, I actually used to find most of my content on youtube.
Shit started to go downhill when they made the "you cant watch it without showing your ID to prove you're over 18" law a year ago (I was 18 by then but there is no way in hell Im giving my ID to a porn website or attaching a picture of my face to it. Also props to PornHub for there response to it). Which is fine okay whatever protect the eyes of children who are too young for porn but old enough to be targeted by pedophiles on tik tok ain't shit I can do about that. Anyways I worked my way around it with a free VPN (Proton, the only non-sketchy free VPN) which sucks for free because of speed but gets the job done and I'll eventually definitely pay for it because love them.
Ive been doing that for a few months. But even with that, I realized youtube cracked down recently massively on the content they allow which not only screwed over some of my favorite creators (which I will definitely support on patreon as soon as I get out of my parents' house) but made it harder for me to find them again. But I also noticed less softcore porn on the typical porn websites that I use (Pornzog, spankbang, pornhub). Its like I either have no options, a dick getting railed into a pussy, or two girls who very clearly are straight going at it the way straight men think lesbians like to fuck (news flash, that is NOT pleasant and I cant get off to something that would make me screech and not in the good way).
The older I get the more lonely I feel and weird I feel for being a virgin, the one pastime that made me own my sexuality and feel beautiful in my own skin is becoming less and less pleasurable. I know porn is seen as gross in women, but it was something I have always really enjoyed. Is this just a me thing? Am I weird or is this something other people have noticed too?
Tl; DR: Some people got sick of monitoring their kids internet access and now its been ruined for lonely, single, but very horny people like me who like porn and use it responsibly (meaning, I definitely dont support websites or accounts and often report the ones that are clearly showing abuse and involve underage individuals)
