episode 65: Books and websites that emphasize FUN, INCLUSIVE, PLEASUREABLE, FANTASTIC FEMINIST PORN!
"How can you make sure the porn you're watching is ethical?
Unlike other industries, there are no consumer reports for porn (despite gossip about a Kitemark for porn), so it's mostly up to us to decide, preferably before we get to the bedroom. Here are some general guidelines you can use when you're searching for ethical porn.
- Pay for your porn
Free sites make it harder for reputable companies to pay decent wages to their performers, as it devalues the product. Much like torrenting music or films, this can cause the industry to cut corners, and the performers end up paying the price. - Pick a favorite
We all have our favorite stars, and one of the best things we can do for them is to watch their films over and over. (Hey, no reason it can't be good for us, too.) Find interviews with performers, and listen to what they're saying about their work; they're likely to have more control over what they do and with whom. Some performers have their own websites, where they have even more control regarding the production. - Follow your gut
Ask yourself if the actors look like they're having fun. Does the scene feel safe? Is it something you'd do? That's not to say that you aren't allowed to explore your fantasies (f*ck that). For a lot of people, porn provides a safe outlet for fantasies that they wouldn't necessarily attempt in real life (i.e., BDSM). It's fine to enjoy those scenes, but you want to make sure that the actors are consenting adults who respect each other's boundaries. Sites like Make Love Not Porn do all the hard work for you and aim to provide porn that is sexy, fun, and consensual."
