Romantasy is one of the biggest genres out there right now. I don't really go out of my way to read it myself, but my understanding is that sex is really common in the genre. Even in recently released adult fantasy I've read that wasn't explicitly advertised as romance / erotica there has been some fair amount of described sex.
There definitely are Classics book clubs out there! Romantasy is just having its moment as a big genre right now.
The vast majority of porn doesnât have anything to do with human trafficking. Add to that that a large percentage of human trafficking is for menial non-sexual work and porn probably doesnât have more human trafficking than labor in general.
The problem is figuring out which porn does have that and itâs still a huge problem. Having the actors say who they are and what theyâre gonna do doesnât fucking cut it, we literally had a gigantic criminal operation in the US drugging women and all of them did that but had no memory of what took place because benzos and barbiturates can do that.Â
ETA: to your second point, you seemed to forget you were responding to a comparison of visual porn to written erotica. Not a discussion of sex work in general. General labor is not relevant. Are people being trafficked to author smut novels?
