episode 35: I am a pro-sex feminist, I'm also a pro-porn feminist part 3
My other porn values: "What Is Ethical Porn?
Ethical porn means that the porn you're watching was made with the performer's comfort and enjoyment at the forefront of the entire production.
If your porn is ethical, the stars can choose who they have sex with; it isn't assigned based on "what will look best". This results in stars choosing other stars who they have a genuine connection with - which can lead to way hotter, way more electric foreplay and sex. My favorite is when the camera crew happens to catch those sultry, melt-your-brain moments of eye contact that just make my entire body shiver.
Ethical porn also means that everyone participating in a scene is aware of - and consents to - everything that's done within the scene. This means sharing any storyline ideas with the talent before the day of the shoot - and giving performers the time to talk about their interests and limits before the scene is shot. It also means that no last-minute changes or expectations are made.
Ethical pornography also avoids a lot of the "male gaze" concerns with pornography. Instead, both (or all, if there's more than two!) people within the scene are treated as equals - and the filming focuses on the connection and genuine pleasure of both people. No gender is treated as a person to be "tricked" into having sex - which has, unfortunately, become a common enough trope in pornography that it's bled into our everyday lives.
Ethical porn also means providing a safe environment for everyone on the crew during filming. Anyone can call "cut" at any time - if it's ever needed - without repercussions. For anyone who is having sexual contact, this means rigorous STI (and COVID-19 right now, too!) testing before performances to ensure everyone's safety. And for comfort, this means food, water, and lube is readily available to ensure everyone's bodily needs are met - and the focus can be on the sex. (Much like any video production, sex scenes can take a bit to shoot. Much longer than you'd assume!)"
