sex exists in your culture.
It exists in your streets, your jokes, your songs, your cinema, your weddings, your insults, your whatsapp forwards, and your browser history.

sex exists in your films. sex exists in your poetry. sex exists in your silence.

Between the 1970s and 1990s, when B-grade adult films ran in broken-down single-screen theatres, someone bought those tickets. Someone sat in the dark. Someone watched. Those “someones” are now 50 to 70 years old—today’s self-appointed guardians of morality, culture, and “Indian values.”

And yet, mysteriously, when the topic of porn comes up, no one knows who watches it.

Apparently, the entire porn industry survives on one imaginary guy.

1. indians Are Among the World’s Top Porn Consumers—But Nobody Admits It

India ranks near the top globally in porn consumption. These are not imports corrupting society. These are Indians. Urban, rural, educated, uneducated, married, unmarried. Yet every discussion pretends porn is watched by “others.” Ghosts. Strangers. Never the people speaking the loudest.

2. sex on Screen Is Fine—As Long as It’s Controlled by Men

Explicit sexual scenes in mainstream films are applauded as “raw realism.” Web series sell sex as “bold storytelling.” Item numbers thrive. Camera angles linger. Desire is commodified without apology. But the moment a woman controls her own gaze, her own body, her own monetization—suddenly it’s “vulgar.”

3. Violence Is Called Art. Desire Is Called Degeneracy

Blood, guns, domination, abuse, and rage are celebrated as cinema. Aggression is “mass.” Misogyny is “character depth.” But a woman posting a thirst video—with no violence, no abuse, no hate—is accused of destroying culture. Apparently, India’s culture survives bullets but collapses at cleavage.

4. Porn Is Consumed in Private, Shame Is Distributed in Public

Millions watch porn silently. Tabs are closed. Histories are cleared. Phones are locked. Then the same viewers log into social media to lecture creators about “values.” Consumption is invisible. Judgment is loud. Hypocrisy is absolute.

5. Thirst Videos Threaten Power, Not Culture

Let’s be honest: thirst videos aren’t controversial because they’re sexual. They’re controversial because women don’t need permission anymore. No producers. No studios. No gatekeepers. Just a phone, an audience, and control over income. That independence is what truly unsettles people.

6. If You Don’t Like It, Don’t watch It—Unless Control Is the Goal

India already accepts this logic everywhere else. Don’t like a movie? Don’t buy a ticket. Don’t like a song? Change the channel. But suddenly, with women’s bodies, the rule changes. Now everyone must comply with someone else’s discomfort.

7. The Market Exists Because the Demand Exists

Thirst videos didn’t create desire. They responded to it. The audience was already there—conditioned by decades of cinema, advertising, and media. Blaming creators while ignoring consumers is intellectual dishonesty at its finest.

8. culture Isn’t Fragile—Egos Are

If a 15-second instagram video can destroy a civilization that survived invasions, colonization, and poverty, then maybe the problem isn’t the video. Maybe it’s the myth we keep telling ourselves about purity.

💣 CLOSING PUNCH

india does not have a sex problem.
India has an honesty problem.

sex is consumed daily, sold endlessly, joked about casually, and denied loudly. The real outrage isn’t nudity or desire—it’s visibility, agency, and women refusing to be ashamed for something everyone consumes.

The question isn’t why thirst videos exist.

The real question is:

Why does india still pretend it doesn’t want them—while watching anyway?
