Four years ago, the pandemic impacted human activities, and “suddenly” the physical mobility of most humans seemed to be reduced to the lowest point. But not with digital activities because there has been a massive increase in Internet access since the last pandemic. It will not recede soon, even though the global pandemic status has long been endemic. One of the digital activities that has increased in the last four years is anything related to pornography. But what is the essence of pornography, and what is its future?
It seems that the pandemic has changed people’s consumption of pornography. For example, according to a study by Netskope, one year after the pandemic ended, access to pornographic content globally increased by about 600 percent.
For most people, pornography is a necessity, and it is a kind of “drug” that can be bought and taken at any time. The problem is that, in most cases, it costs nothing. Many free porn sites provide free content, and it certainly costs nothing. Pornography is a necessity for some people, so they are even willing to pay to subscribe to a platform. Today, it is a multi-billion dollar industry that is “driven” by the Internet.
Pornography is not a drug, but…
Pornography is not a drug, but at some point, it can become addictive, and since most simple counseling can break this addiction, pornography is a part of “normal society.” For many, pornography is something that can be tolerated as long as it doesn’t involve children, sadism, and bondage.
