I mean... I used to love porn, but it was of the written variety. I grew out of it. Audio is OK, too, but I don't go looking for it because I'm picky (and lazy). There are ways to explore desire without benefiting the porn industry. I'd like more visibility for porn (or erotica if you wish) by and for women, but most women probably are not comfortable crossing that boundary by publicly talking about it. And that's fine.

I think written and audio are different, and problems only arrive in them when they sexualize rape and other sick fetishes.

I agree. This is also a recurring argument in fandom circles -- people are offended if you're critical of kinkfic, rape or incest tropes. I don't think this type of written porn literally hurts or harms anyone, but when I see people trying to out-smut each other, it feels like I'm in a kink community and not a fandom one.
