It’s a parasocial dopamine hit. It’s like commenting on a Twitch stream. There’s a fantasy that they’ll notice and reply to you, and suddenly you’ll be having a conversation with a famous attractive person.
Ive been begging us to adopt booru-style tagging for videos for decades at this point.
(For the uninitiated, this would mean i could search something like “Brunette curly_hair -horse_penis score:>500” and get every video known to man with a curly haired brunette who does not interact with a horse penis and at least 500 people liked the video)
I commented on one porn post here on Lemmy where the person was trying to look way too young. I commented in a reply to another comment that was saying it’s kind of disgusting and wrong, because the intent is clear that they were trying to at least appear like a child. It doesn’t really matter if they’re actually of-age. It’s like anime with the thousand year old dragon gir thing. If you’re trying to create something erotic/pornographic while appearing like a child, that content doesn’t need to exist.
That is I think the only time I’ve posted on porn.
Because the posts try to make it sound like they’re private messages to you, and men reply in a thread with hundreds of others all leaving the same comment.
I have never understood the need to comment on porn of any kind.
You probably also guessed that the stripper isn’t actually attracted to you.
He’s not???
Sorry you had to find out this way.
But the escort actually likes me, right?
Yes. That’s different.
I made her a loaf of sourdough bread and now I know her real name and home address. Did I mess up?
Idk depends on your next move methinks
Do you think it would turn out the same way as that one time I married the stripper?
I don’t need attraction, just the illusion thereof.
Maybe that’s what’s happening here too, the illusion of a pretty lady
Our neighbor the beat cop always said: “in the end, all they want is the right kind of friction.”
I dont need my porn to be this realistic. I want some fantasy to.

Sometimes, I think it’s like people yelling at someone in a horror movie “he’s right behind you!”
It prompts real feelings and reactions and they just have to let them out.
Interesting take, thanks for sharing. No sarcasm.
Ah so the same people who buy lottery tickets.
Identifying the performer to find more of their material, or more of the same genre
This wouldn’t be necessary if more of the Internet used AO3 tagging and category systems

We never would have gotten such gems as “give her the dick” without them

I’ve posted a few asking why they decided a macro shot of the dude’s butthole was what we wanted to see.
Speak for yourself.
