    I’ve never understood why this theme became so popular in porn. But also, it’s porn. If you’re watching it for the plot, you should probably be watching something else.

    But obviously, this is more about banning something than actually an issue with the porn. Oiling up that slippery slope.

      I cannot answer this without sounding completely insane, even after the Epstein files people still won’t believe me. It’s the same as the Spiderman Elsa videos. They are experimenting on kids at specific stages of development. Parents just let them do it. Why?

      Also, you should be watching something other than people being coerced into selling consent for the act or the viewing. It’s disgusting. You can have your nudes and tapes if people send them to you. That is not suitable entertainment for (de facto) all ages

      Also I don’t support anything the UK government does, this ban won’t be effective, the prostitution industry has to be globally stamped out. Digital ID doesn’t solve anything it’s just building surveillance infrastructure they will use for more trafficking. The internet needs to become Chinese. Deny these basic facts if you wish, it only admits to not being serious about the issue.

      I think a lot of it is because it makes writing really easy. You don’t need to come up with a reason for these two people to be near each other in an intimate setting, which they can easily turn into something more sexual. Not many people are watching for the plot, so they just need a bare bones contrivance for it taking place.

      Families have inherent relationships built that can be nodded at without much conversation being necessary. Basically porn with plot without requiring as much plot.

      I think because in order to product the kink you need to set a ground base for story. A lot of people just want some sort of story instead of just straight into it.

      I think incest / 'stepcest' stuff is largely popular because:
      • it can sprout innumerous plotlines, whereas most visual porn lacks story
      • the “domestic” nature of it means they don’t have to shell out for multiple sets or fancy sets.
      • The idea of other people breaking laws and putting themselves in danger seems to add to the dopamine hit of porn. Which is mabe why some people consume violent stuff.

      In my op it’s popular with viewers largely because it is favoured by the studios.


      I have to say though, from back in my porn watching days, i couldn’t stand the weird production quality in all the step-incest stuff. And the compulsion to pair up performers who have a big age gap, or to make performers look like teenagers, is disturbing. I doubt these things have changed.

      It’s funny to imagine that the government might have a porn-Tsar who is just banning all the stuff they personally consider shite. Should have been me.

      There’s sex with some level of plot, and there’s plot with some level of sex. It depends on which goal is greater for that movie or book. There is also a variety of degrees of porn plot, from bad to decent (with still the goal of being porn, but far more believable).

      Are not-step-siblings still okay? Short of being admitted in the script, how does one know the relations? I guess the same validation as when the actress says she’s 18, right?

      There is a specific group that is in control of most of the porn websites. Lets just say they are super into it. For reasons.

        Don’t look too closely at family trees in the Bible Belt.
