If my fetish is people over-eating, does someone who stuffs their face with 10 Big Macs (completely clothed) need to get approval to upload to pornhub?

Community uploads to pornhub don't feel like prostitution to me, because for the most part no one is doing it for money, merely because they're horny or enjoy it.




well if it falls under the legal definition of porn then yes, otherwise no. I don't know what is the legal definition. right now there is no regulation at all, which is crazy. or there is but somehow it doesn't apply to pornhub. we could start with something simple and obvious that covers most videos. something is better than nothing.

I meant we can regulate for the same reason prostitution is regulated, to make it safer.


But if there is no financial incentive in sex, then isn't it more like just attempting to regulate the private sex lives of individuals? Prostitution is regulated, but there is no regulation (at least in any Western country that I know of), that prevents a person from just going out and having sex with other consenting adults.
