Every work of art says things the creator hasn’t considered, but if you’ve really thought about what you’re trying to say then generally the additional dimensions you didn’t know it had are in alignment with your purpose, whereas if you think you’re making no cultural comment at all you are actually making a LOT of cultural comments, most of which will be unflattering to you
Porn is one of the most culturally rich types of media imaginable so the answer is: you cannot do this
“I don’t want to make anything with cultural dimensions. That’s why I only write within the genre that is legally sequestered away from every other kind of storytelling because of my culture’s attitude towards depictions of sex.”
you can write porn for no other reason than Horny. you can read or watch porn for no other reason than Horny. but none of that will stop your porn from containing cultural commentary. just because you don't want to engage with the work on that level in that moment doesn't mean that level to the work doesn't exist.
One of my favourite things is that historical costumers often get important details about not just the physical mechanics of clothes (eg, Did you step into this dress, or pull it on over your head? Would the braces be unclipped off the trousers or slid down the sides?) but also social stuff about which bits of clothing were seen as private, who was expected to dress themselves and who had servants (and how they undressed if the servants weren't available) etc.
And then the same for furniture and house interiors, because since they usually weren't the subject of the kink, they would just be pretty accurate (eg, the gardener being found in a potting shed wanking off onto a pile of glass cold frame tops suggests that it was common to keep spare lids for your coldframes in case one of them got shattered, because the point of the scene isn't that someone has a kink for plate glass, it's that the gardener is in a familiar and mundane place...)
