As a sex worker online for over a decade, who's been closely watching how the sexy parts of the internet have changed, I have a theory for why this is happening.
I feel like all media is drifting closer and closer to porn and nobody wants to speak up about it for fear of being labeled a prude.

Spaces for actual full sex/erotica have absolutely slowly been getting squeezed out. Tumblr banned porn, reddit removed porn from r/all even if you opt into seeing NSFW, fetish subreddits have been getting banned, more rules and restrictions are getting out on sexual behavior.

My theory is that the prudes trying to remove and restrict the expression in full sexual spaces has led to sex "leaking out" everywhere else. There's less full throated sexual expression in specific sex areas now, so people are resorting to non-sexual platforms. For example:.

As a porn girl, posting nudes to reddit used to be viable for good traffic, cause ppl who opted into nsfw could discover you on the main page. Now that this isn't allowed, you go where the discoverability is, and girls have switched en masse to thirst traps on tiktok or insta.

actually no. In my giant survey (280k women aged 19-29), I asked people to rate how attractive they are compared to other people of the same gender and age range. On average, women were slightly biased towards rating themselves as less attractive.
Example for Women: . Women typically think their looks are 1-2 more grades they actually are and that leads them to think they can pull 1-2 grades above reality. If they feel like they are worth more in that point of their life , the fully it believe and create tunnel vision.
