Sometimes porn doesn't get the chance to become revenge porn, as in this case before the German Federal Court:
Germany's highest court has ordered a man to destroy intimate photos and videos of his ex-partner because they violate her right to privacy. The Federal Court said the man, a photographer, should no longer possess naked photos and sex tapes, even if he had no intention of sharing them.
The woman had originally agreed to the images but this consent stopped when the relationship ended, the court said. Germany has some of the strictest privacy laws in Europe.
The Federal Court was called upon to rule in a dispute between a former couple, who were arguing over whether or not the man should delete intimate photos and videos. In its ruling (in German), the court said everyone had the right to decide whether to grant insight into their sex life - including to whom they grant permission and in what form. It said that by retaining the images, the photographer had a certain "manipulative power" over his ex-lover. He should no longer have rights to the photos and videos once the relationship had ended, it concluded.
It is not clear how the ruling will be enforced.
A 2014 Pew survey of American mobile phone users found that 34% of those aged 25-34 reported receiving "sexts" (sexually suggestive photos or videos), as well as 22% of those aged 35-44 and 15% of those aged 45-54. Across all age groups, 20% reported receiving sexts, an increase from just 15% in 2012. A smaller portion of the population is sending the sexts: 9% of phone users in 2014, from 6% in 2012.

"I suspect he means this current trend where no woman can take a self picture that's not from about 45 degrees above them so you can't see the triple chin as clearly and their eyes look twice their actual size because they're looking upward like they're on their knees giving you fellatio.
OP, I'm less disturbed by the fact that the majority of them outweigh me by well over 100 lbs (while being about 6 inches to a foot shorter than I am to boot) than I am by the fact that women's profiles on dating sites all read like hostage demand lists for their vagina.
Seriously, nearly EVERY profile lists how you must have this, must do that, must not do this or that ... while not taking even a single line to describe what they have to offer. Like the thought never once crossed their mind that perhaps ... they might not be an amazing catch and might actually have to put in effort."

If I was to publish myself nowadays (which I'm not, I'm married), I'd offer "An open ear, willing to listen, in exchange for other orifices, equally willing" ;-)

That was briefly known as the angles [urbandictionary.com]; typically in the the form "Whoa! Don't be fooled. She's got the angles!"
