The Digital Whorehouse: How the Internet Has Changed the Global View of Western Women

The internet has become a nonstop stream of sex. It’s everywhere—on social media, in mainstream entertainment, and through platforms like OnlyFans. What used to be private is now public. What used to be taboo is now monetized. Some call it empowerment. Others call it degeneration. But one thing is clear: the world is watching—and judging.

To many viewers overseas, the flood of explicit content online has created a distorted image. Over and over, they're shown Western women flaunting themselves, stripping, or engaging in sex acts for public consumption.

When that becomes the dominant export, it leads to a brutal oversimplification: that Western women are all like this. That they’re sexually available, transactional, and devoid of self-respect. The word "whore" is not just being used—it's becoming the default perception in some parts of the world.

This isn’t about what’s true. It’s about what’s seen. And when people draw conclusions based on constant exposure to sexual content, it warps how they view not just Western women, but the entire culture.

In some minds, a woman who takes her clothes off online isn’t worthy of respect. She’s a product, a thing to be used, discarded, or abused. The West is seen as a free-for-all where women are “asking for it.”

Let’s be clear: this isn’t the fault of women trying to make money or survive. It’s not even just about sex work. It’s about what happens when a society broadcasts its most extreme images to a world that doesn’t understand the difference between entertainment and reality. It’s about what happens when we export raw sexuality with no boundaries, and no regard for how it will be interpreted elsewhere.

This isn’t about shame. It’s about consequences. Not everyone watching respects women. And when the only thing they see from the West is sex, they don’t see people—they see targets.

Western society may claim to care about women’s rights. But from the outside, it often looks like the opposite. It looks like a culture that celebrates the degradation of women and calls it progress. And in that gap between what we think we’re saying and what the world actually sees, danger is growing.
