I mean, debatable. If consensual and enthusiastic amateurs decide to get into it, sure. But when a huge exploitative industry develops around it the same kind of soul-sucking, alienating work culture that profit-driven optimisation tends to inject into anything, that risks being really bad. Not only sex that isn’t pleasurable can be far worse than just boring or annoying, but even if it was just that, having sex turn into drudge work to the point that you are disgusted with it (as work is wont to do to many otherwise pleasurable things), that’s bound to take a good chunk of potential pleasure from your life as a whole.
