What in gods name is with the popularity of "step-" porn? Why do people desperately want to see two people who are pretending to only be kinda related have sex? Is it some weird pseudo sexual thing where they can say, "I'm not actually into incest, because these people aren't related by blood"? It's so weird. It also seems to be really american
its a way to make an otherwise vanilla male-female porn video somewhat risque and interesting. if youre just making one of those there's no reason not to label them as step siblings because the weirdos who are in to that are more likely to click and the people who dont care can just mute and masturbate
I have a different theory. It's because people are so alienated and they feel like strangers are dangerous and unapproachable. But you're still horny (I'm told), so what ya gonna do? Bang your stepdad! It's not real incest, but you still get to be gay with your dad, and it feels all safe and welcoming... 🤗

This actually is Freud's point more or less, but about sexual shit in general. Like without fantasy and taboo, sex (especially masturbation) is mindless and repetitive behavior. Of course it's a fundamental aspect of subjectivity, a radically indeterminate excess of experience which is largely unconscious and unknowable. It's something you can't just dismiss as dumb, but it kinda is dumb and you have to reconcile with it.
Maybe some would reject my notion of fantasy and make a claim about love driving sex, but love doesn't function without fantasy. Maybe simply proximity to someone bleeds into unconscious desire and this is where taboo arises. In any case I think Freud is just right as fuck, and everyone who is uncomfortable with that is just uncomfortable with their incestual desires, because literally everyone - though not of their reason or purpose or conscious thought necessarily - does have some version of these desires. I'd even argue here that the people who mute "step-" porn are actually more affected by this, it's obviously more taboo in this case imo. If this was truly like some Kantian categorical imperative, why even ever click on "step-" porn just to mute it? Unconscious desire is a sonofabitch a lot of the time. We can either reconcile ourselves with it consciously or make it a taboo that we must repress and consequently unconsciously desire to transgress. Of course I'm not endorsing incest irl, I more endorse the recognition of our unconsciousness desires being at odds with ourselves. That if we're actually serious about the moral issues that surround incestuous relationships, we have to have a different approach to it than the pure repression of our current patriarchal order, because that very repression is what allows for brutal cycles of abuse to continue in patriarchal, nuclear families.
I don't necessarily agree with it completely, but Matt had a pretty interesting take on it. He said something along the lines of, many of the people watching these videos don't have jobs or leave their homes often so the idea of somebody living in their house fucking them seems more plausible and therefore makes it more engaging for them. It's the only way they can imagine themselves actually meeting somebody to have sex with. I don't think you can underestimate the taboo factor though. It's the old mentality of 'i know this is wrong but the attraction is so strong I can't help but do it.' I really don't think that many people want to have sex with with step parents or step siblings.
I just always assumed that it's where the talent was and the trend followed; i.e. all the people you wanted to watch were now obligated through market forces to make the most popular thing at the moment, but this feels like it has gone on and not shifted for like 3+ years

It's legalese. It's implied that they are related.
grooming
In many places its illegal so its a workaround.
