Does it matter if the object of desire is “real”

If it doesn't matter to you, then it doesn't matter.

Just because you know superheroes aren’t real doesn’t mean you cant enjoy the movie or low and behold have a wet dream of superman flying holding you in his arms.

Lo* and behold. The phrase is "lo and behold" lol

Imagination is good. Using your imagination is good. That isn't what we're talking about here. What we're talking about is AI-generated porn, essentially.

Once I'm aware that something is AI-generated, it becomes gross and weird. That's how I feel, but I acknowledge that you might not feel that way.

People have been thirsting over lara crofts 3d boobs, i am not even gonna get started on japan.

Was not expecting random racism.

I think we might have a miscommunication here, I don’t think i am disrespectful to anyone here.
