Porn is great. We are sexual beings. Your shame is unwarranted.

Also what makes you think aliens aren't interested in our fertility rituals. As captain kirk taught us, knocking boots with aliens is awesome.

I hope they are on their way to us now for an interstellar booty call. Better yet, I hope they are covertly here now on a genetic exchange program.

Edit: You know all those weird sex ads in the back pages of alternative magazines. Aliens among us maybe??

Edit 2: To the people downvoting this, this is exactly why you don't get invited to better parties - especially alien sexy parties.

Most people have a biological imperative to get their rocks off.

We live in a society that is becoming more and more isolated by the day.

Put those two things together and you're gonna end up with a literal fuckload of porn.

To be fair, many of the earliest statues and such found were penises, or women with a chunky badonkadonk.

I don't think this is anything new. As humans, we may just like big butts. Why lie?

For masturbation, mostly.

Humanity is relatively unique compared to earth's other animals in that the species' females can conceive all year (minus the time when they have their period) without any kind of mating season, and while it's very hard to study this, it doesn't seem like sex is particularly fun in most species, especially for females. This does help humans somewhat with forging long-lasting social bonds, which is definitely something that's core to the human species, but it's by no means the only way that a species can be instinctually inclined to form long-lasting social bonds. So to a hypothetical alien civilization, humans probably seem to spend a lot of energy on sex.

Humans are intelligent and sexual animals. It makes sense that sex would be commoditified in some fashion.

There's nothing wrong with enjoying sex, and by extension sexually themed things like porn. Just as long as it doesn't become an addiction.

You produce a lot of what people pay for and use. Like why do we produce so much soda?

Because there are only 3 things we are "programmed" to do:

• Eat

• Fight

• Fuck

That's why we have so much violence in media, food or imagry of food is everywhwere, and porn is a gigantic industry.

Now think about how much of human behavior and social transactions are based on sex. Think on how much time people think, directly or indirectly about sex. How many actions are indirectly motivated by sex, from silly things like conversation starters, to terrible things like sexual crimes. All the energy put into fashion, body modifications, sports, and many other activities in indirect sexual motivation. Think about how many feelings of sadness or even depressions are aggravated by, or even originated from, lack of sex. Think about the religious institutions and the changes they did to history by socially reprehending sex. Also think of the historical events indirectly influenced by sex. You could spend the entire day and even a research career on all that, and at some point one would ask what is NOT related to sex in this bizarre human world. It's no wonder asexuals have so much trouble navigating around.

Listen: Our endless output of porn is the reason why aliens continue to leave us alone! They don't want to mess up this good thing that just keeps coming.

As someone that works with data archival its really hard to keep videos around most media storage would be gone in a few decades.

Perhaps other civilizations would have a healthier outlook on sex and wouldn't view it as perverse to produce porn, rather as natural.

Sex is fundamental to what a human is. And its mysterious and fascinatitng. Of course we document in extensively

I’m pretty sure any species that reproduces sexually would be considered a bunch of perverts. You ever been around a cat in heat? Fucking perverts.

deep down were just animals programmed to procreate

all that pron does not surprise me

I don't think other civilisations would see it as any different to reality television

It's ultimately just videos of humans doing human things

There's more porn than any other form of video. And the porn industry is one of the worst industries. It's abusive and exploitative.

Yet I have never in my life paid for porn. How are they making their money?

I interpret this as a problem statement, so I can think of a few solutions: We accept the dominance of porn culture and launch a quality offensive for porn, or we recognize a lack of asexual culture and launch a quality offensive for ace culture. Or we all pretend that porn doesn't exist and leave the status quo as it is.
