Personally I’m not sure. I definitely this it’s a lesser evil though because at least smut doesn’t profit off of sex trafficking.

i think it is similar because you’re imaging strangers having sex but you’re not actually seeing it so it is different

But I feel like real life is worse because it’s real people you’re lusting over, and most smutty books have actual storylines

Exactly, and there’s no way you could ever meet a book character, or compare your s/o to a fictional person

For the most part I agree. I just find that personally, I get disappointed by reality after reading smut. But I think that could be typical of reading in general as I remember being envious of Hogwarts when reading Harry Potter as a child.

But you’re comparing content while he is comparing effect. They both have the same effect, you just prefer one over the other
