I'm listening to RevLeft's episode on proletarian feminism and wondering about this. I think we can agree that in a global socialist society, the sex trade disappears. Under socialism, people only have sex because they want to. At the same time, almost all pornography produced under capitalism is itself produced under coercion. (A small number of porn stars are relatively wealthy and produce pornography because they enjoy it, not because they have to.) If a socialist society decides to make access to that pornography free for all, doesn't that mean that the porn stars (and all other workers involved in the production of pornography) are still being exploited, even if they're dead? In a socialist society, does all desire to jerk off to pornography wither away, since a sexual revolution has presumably also taken place and most people are relatively satisfied with regard to their sexual needs? Will some pornography still exist, produced by the proletariat for the consumption of the proletariat? Will future socialist porn stars be considered heroes of labor? I don't think we ever catch anyone in Star Trek jerking off to porn.
Before the cultural revolution, assuming there are no economic pressures to produce porn? Youre absolutely going to mainly get porn where the focus is still on the male pleasure as the predominant porn, it may just be less terrible- like not doing things that are actively uncomfortable or painful to the actresses.
You'll also get a lot of content that couldn't exist before, some good (period content) some more questionable- you know what I mean- because of a lack of censorship by credit card companies
Also a lot more queer porn. There absolutely will still be a lesbian porn genre for the purpose of being consumed by cis men unfortunately.
Porn might gradually become more private during this era with content creators distributing based on what brings them pleasure, and with patriarchal power dynamics still dying, putting yourself out in public will probably only be a thing people who enjoy being degraded or dehumanized by men still do.
Saying "look at gonewild now" is silly, because straight gone wild stuff is heavily monetized. If you want a better example, look at content produced in private gw subreddits.
Post cultural revolution, I think porn will absolutely still be a thing. I think that is going to be in an entirely different cultural context, and as someone in relationships with people with lower libidos, I hope there is still content similar to what is produced now by places like crashpad and queerporn.tv, private wlw subreddits, etc. I think the two main reasons for production will absolutely be exhibitionism and catering to rare fetishes.
