Thank you for your insightful response about the industry. I reduced the size of the quote due to it being very long and thought.

You have a lot of steps to take when handling your SHIP films. It appears the genre may take a turn away from peril due to the current political climate from both sides of having mixed groups with different stances on "peril fetishes". It sounds like companies will eventually remove the P from SHIP, and we will begin to receive movies about a superheroine fetish with consensual sex stories. This change would really hurt the softcore and no-sex (fighting only) markets as their pitch is PERIL. They create movies to satisfy their market's craving for heroines in peril.
The change would not hurt hardcore companies as they can easily write stories about slutty heroines or villains can use a tool to fill the heroine with lust. Sure, love potions are technically drugs. However, society romanticizes the idea of using a special object like a spell, necklace, or potion to fill a person with lust. It's a classic idea from fairy tales and modern society's version of using a newly discovered natural agent from nature that influences a person's sex drive.
