You're hung up on the wrong part. Tell me more about how the phrase "locally sourcing your sex needs from the nearest supplier" isn't creepy.

Its assuming there is local entertainment and acknowledging it and choosing it over others.

Because the Protestants told us that sex is "special", and we've been happily carrying on that tradition for nearly 300 years. We consider it sacrilege to talk about satisfying your sexual desires in the same way that you would satisfy your desire for a milkshake. It's not a way that we're used to looking at it, which makes us feel uncomfortable. Looked at from another angle, if we analyzed what filters different dating apps allow you to use, I would bet proximity is 100% present. You can't usually filter on professions, or political beliefs, or whether they have a job, but you can filter by whether they're close to you or not. It's also not like this is some kind of Peeping Tom situation. The performer is well aware their pictures are being sent, and what they'll be used for. Some people may even enjoy it more since they've met the performer in person; again, both sides are consenting adults. It's possible for the client to become a creepy stalker, but even a strong preference for porn from people they've actually met doesn't automatically make someone a creepy stalker. Creepy situations happen when someone makes someone else feel uncomfortable. Nobody actually involved in the situation seems uncomfortable, so I don't see how it can be creepy. You might be uncomfortable, but that says nothing about how the two of them interact. I find it more humorous than creepy to mirror the language of the farm-to-table crowd. Brings to mind images of a Portlandia style character riding one of those big-wheel-in-the-front bicycles to go buy fresh vintage nudes from the farmer's market, explained as images that have just become old enough to be considered vintage.

  > Because the Protestants told us that sex is "special" What you're referring to is the problematization of sex. That process is present in every civilization, regardless of religion, and it's not clear that it's optional.

    Exactly. People complaining about protestants have no idea how sex is treated in traditional Hindu or Islamic societies, or really any durable traditional society.
