      I’m not really the demographic (30s married bi lady who’s never followed someone for boobs), but I think I get it.

      All boobs are great, but being able to interact with the owner of the boobs can make them even better, even if it’s only a theoretical interaction like when following someone on social media

        I feel like parasocial relationships are like lead: there is no healthy minimum level of exposure, only steadily increasing and accumulating toxic effects.

        Everyone’s relationships are different, but having a parasocial relationship feels more unfaithful than just watching random porn.

        At least, this is how I’d feel about a partner watching porn.

        If a future partner of mine watched a streamer of some kind of sexual nature, that would not be cool with me personally. None of my past partners have done this so, only hypothetical.

        To each their own, I guess!

          Oh yeah, I definitely think it’s creepy, but I get it. Like asking for someone’s number at their work, it’s something I wouldn’t do but can emotionally understand, as opposed to something like stealing someone’s panties that I can cognitively understand, but I don’t get it get it.

      my guess has that random faceless porn doesn’t build parasocial relationships. OF is made exactly for that. but they are cheapskates

        Honestly I’m shocked OF is even a succesful business when twitter exists. The amount of hornyposting/straight up porn accounts on there is staggering.

      For me it was that I have a very open and casual relationship with enjoying human bodies. Yeah I think its beautiful, yeah it makes me a little horny, no I’m not ashamed that I’m attracted to and supportive of tasteful nudity on the internet.

      But the honest answer is that most men are lazy and a bit crass.

      But those are natural, grass fed, free range, boobs. Not the ultra processed kind you see in specialized websites.
