No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I really don’t understand how you can watch hardcore porn and then feel uncomfortable with kissing or sex scenes in movies. I can understand being bored by them, but I really don’t get how someone who watches hardcore porn could be made uncomfortable by kissing and sex in a movie.
Weirdly, it seems like porn has made people more prudish.
Because with porn you're watching it, alone or with a partner, for a specific purpose. When I'm watching a regular movie I don't want to sit next to my brother or my mom and watch that. Even if I'm alone I don't want to get all hot and bothered and then it's like, do I pause for a minute and go deal with it or sit and watch a car chase like this? Just imply it and cut to the next morning or something. Only time I'm cool with it is watching with the spouse.
I can get that. Porn is very explicitly made with the audience in mind, and exhibitionist in nature. It would naturally feel less like intruding on someone's personal moment of beauty if they are like "hey guys we're fuckin' for you!"
Wonder if this depends on if other people are around.
One difference is normal such scenes are often in the second half of movies or sometimes even seasons into a show. So there's much more emotional connection to the characters and the setting is often much more private. Where with porn, often its quite quick to the sex with little good character development and you know going in that the point is to watch them have sex. Like, going to an orgy could be normal for someone, but like that doesn't mean they'd feel comfortable hiding in their roommate's closet and secretly watching them have sex.
