Honestly, MLs tend to do this with a lot of convos, I feel.

    Alright? I struggle to see the conflict here, you are again describing an issue with the viewer rather then the medium.

    That is also a massive leap in logic. How will people viewing sex cause them to view the other gender as nothing more then objects of desire? Again, if a person cannot disconnect their reality from a fictional medium, that is a personal issue. Further, of there is nothing problematic being depicted, then what is the negative takeaway in this scenario?

    You also run into the issue that the vast majority of humans are inherently sexual. That is how we have literally survived as a species for hundreds of thousands of years. Humans have also been masturbating for hundreds of thousands of years, so how would you magically attempt to cease a base human instinct? Lets say a person did not have access to pornography, would they not just then resort to their imagination which would serve the exact same purpose??? Could people not simply just imagine others in their minds as “objects of desire”?

    Again, this seems to be a societal, and educational problem rather then one related to the medium of drawn or written smut.

      Because the sex is still the point of the interaction with the media and hence creates an idea where the idea that interaction may solely be sexual and that is what causes objectification. And the difference with the idea of imagination is two differences. One being that it is nearly impossible to regulate and the other one being that the point of imagination is not sexual meaning that it serves other purposes. (And I am sorry if I come off as rude or something, I am trying not be at all but it can be hard to be clear of emotion of phrasing on the internet
