I understand that some of the criticism comes from conservatives but the sentiment seems to extend far beyond thst. Of course, I understand it when it's forced or when someone only does it to survive against their will. But if people genuinely want to do it, why do people hate on them?

Rape is worse than beating, because sex is a uniquely intimate activity. The intimacy is what makes the commercialization of sex so fragile. The chances of sex work and porn turning out sustainably healthy are so narrow.

    Magical thinking bullshit. Sex is exactly as sacred as a one on one game of basketball, and almost every bit of the Patriarchy rests on the foundation of denying that basic truth.

    I'm all for smashing patriarchy and a part of me agrees with you on sex being "just another activity". But I'd be very interested to hear other people's thoughts on my argument about rape vs beating!

    Sex is categorically not "uniquely intimate". A stimulating conversation about a subject you're both passionate about is a far more intimate thing that a drunken bar bathroom hookup.

    That kind of magical thinking is the problem. It's an incredibly slippery and not very long slope from "sex is a magical and unique form of human interaction" to "daughters are property of their fathers until they are sold and become property of their husbands".
