The equivalent to watching porn is not making and producing porn. The equivalent to making porn is making porn. If Lex Steele or Ryan Madison didn't want to date/marry pornstars (something they've both done) then they'd be hypocrites. I doubt any man (this is a hyperbolic statement) cares at all about women watching porn/consuming erotica. But for sure no man cares as much as they do if their wife/gf/potential partner had done porn in the past. It's perfectly fine for some random guy who watches porn in his free time to not want to date a pornstar.

So when you say this, what do you mean, is it a cope? Have you just not thought about it very hard?

I'd be with you if say the guy from the Teamstee porn channel didn't wanna be in a relationship with the girl from that channel cause she did porn. She did it with him. But if a guy who spanks it to someone on pornhub doesn't want to be in a relationship with someone who's done porn that doesn't strike me as an inconsistency.
