Tradwives have been one of the most powerful Internet trends of the year. Also in porn

Although his peak of fame was in the summer, we have not forgotten about Roro (in fact, today he was a trend on social networks for the very unloving insults which the actress and writer Juana Dolores has dedicated to her). In addition to sparking controversy due to her theoretical political affiliation, a few months ago she put a new term on everyone’s lips: tradwives. It was a matter of months before this female categorization followed a path very similar to that of other symbolic mothers: that of porn.

What is a tradwife? RoRo Well it was immediately identified as a Spanish version of an aesthetic trend that I had been in the United States for months. It is about the tradwivesshort for “traditional wives”, women who share values ​​and gender roles typical of the middle of the last century: tradition, family, aseptic elegance, classism. Devotees of cooking and their (many) children, they are a return to values ​​of the past, and although not all of them can be framed in a strictly conservative movement, many are obviously being used by the right as speakers of their ideas. Some icons? Estee Williams, Nara Aziza, Hannah Neeleman either Alena K. Pettitt.

In the morning I work in the oven, and at night… porn roll. Or so says Pornhub, which in that Wrapped of filth that is the annual summary of the search trends of its visitors, states that tradwives have become an object of desire for those who go to the web. The first trend of the adult site most visited in the world It is “Demure desires”, that is, “modest desires.” The word “demure”, a linguistic wildcard with traces of memeis up 133% in searches, while “modesty” is up 47%. “Modest MILF”, of course, has risen 45% and different uses of tradition such as “traditional sex” and “traditional clothes” have also risen.

Tradwives have been a trend in the US for years. Now Spain has its own example: Roro

The Secret Lives of Pornhub Wives. This is how Pornhub has titled the second trend, with increases in the search percentages for “amateur wife” (21%), “traditional wife” (34%) and “tradwife” (no less). than 72%). The tradition also goes into hardcore mode with the spectacular rise of “Mormon wife” or “Mormon sex”, as a crazy clash between this vindication of the traditional life of the Mormons and the most abrasive sex (the success in United States of the reality show ‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ – you have season 1 on Disney+ -, bastion of tradwife ideology).

Nothing of contradiction. But… how does this taste for a less liberated sex, more corseted in tradition, fit with porn? In statements for 404mediaadult actress Siri Dahl (who became famous parodying the tradwife aesthetic on Instagram) states that “the traditional handcuff thing is nothing more than a fantasy, after all.” Therefore, it is subject to the same temperature rises as any other fetish. Let us remember that in the fifties and sixties, the “perfect american housewife”was already a convention with its own visual and thematic norms, and is therefore subject to parody (porn or not).

Looking for a modest woman. The porn actress Lotus Lain also senses in the same medium that everything is part of tastes, which move like a pendulum: after years of extreme and aggressive content in porn, the OnlyFans explosion has led to “normal” girls starring in explicit content, which has scared men, who don’t like “women monetizing their sexuality for themselves.” This has led them to search for “good girls, or what are now known as tradwives.”

Clinical psychologist Eric Sprankle sees this search as perfectly normal, and within codes that have always existed: “women who exhibit modesty, chastity or virginity and who are tempted, mocked, degraded or ‘spoiled’ by the pleasures of “It’s really no different from the porn that has been around for decades and that has sexualized the Amish and Catholic nuns.”
