What is Ethical Porn?
“It’s ethical pornography, in which we don’t reduce women as sexual objects.”
Far from the mainstream pornography that floods our daily lives, ethical porn brings a new perspective on our bodies and our desires, imperfect, beautiful and all different…
Ethical porn, also known as alternativ or feminist porn, is a movement that places women’s images and their pleasure at the center of the narrative. Actors’ and actresses’ preferences are respected (in both soft and hard porn), and sexual acts are portrayed as close to reality as possible, even natural.
This is ethical pornography, in which women are not degraded by being treated as sex objects. On the contrary, actresses are active, involved, and listened to, not constantly subjected to male desire tinged with misogyny. The relationship is mutual, consensual, and shared, with room for both men and women, far from the male stereotypes found in much traditional porn. Sensitivity, realism, mutual respect, but also more ‘fringe’ practices, usually overlooked by mainstream sites, are highlighted.
Criteria to be met:
- Everyone must be paid fairly.
- Everyone must be treated with respect in a safe and healthy environment.
- The diversity of bodies, origins, practices, genders and orientations is highlighted without judgment or taboos.
- Ethical pornography shows real orgasms.
- Consent is at the heart of the debate. Everything is created and shared with consent.
Actresses & Directors
Swedish-born Erika Lust is undoubtedly the most famous director of feminist and ethical porn. Her films are odes to positive fucking, without judgments or taboos!
Paulita Pappel is a feminist pornographer. She works as a producer, director and advocate of “sex-positivity” based on consent.
Olympe de G is a committed French feminist writer & director. She recounts the intimate struggles of women, starting with her own.
Allie Oops is interested in sex, in all its forms, right down to its impact on society. She fights for rights and fucks for money.
Maria Riot is an actress, activist and artist. “I’m a woman, I love being slapped, I love gangbangs… what the hell!“.
Nicole Emma Vaunt is a vibrant actress, or rather artist, whose range of activities is very varied: photos, modeling, charm, pornography and so much more.
Why to watch it?
Honestly, do you recognize yourself in mainstream porn? Standardized bodies, fake orgasms that rob the moment of sincerity. The same scenarios over and over again, the same degrading images that teach us to approach sexuality in an unreal, unbalanced, and predominantly male way. We’re tired, we’re confused, and the pleasure is non-existent…
Watching ethical porn is an opportunity to take pleasure in real bodies, real orgasms, not clichés and soulless standardized scenarios that push us to imagine sexuality in a way that’s increasingly unhealthy and far removed from reality. For us, exploring sexuality through one’s own body also means developing curiosity and imagination, and avoiding the standardization of traditional porn.
Watching feminist pornography also means encouraging the development of a more ethical part of the industry, in which actors are properly paid and better treated by productions.
Why should I pay for it?
“By consuming paid content, you’re promoting “humane” productions that pay actresses and actors fairly.”
Why pay to watch porn when you have access to thousands of free contents on different sites? That’s probably what you’re thinking, and we’re not judging anyone – we’ve done it for years too. But when you delve a little deeper, free pornographic content has extremely harmful impacts.
Free access inevitably leads to lower income: actors and directors are paid less, and production quality suffers. In some cases, filming conditions, resources, hygiene, and atmosphere deteriorate sharply. Actresses are the first to be affected, with films made by men for men, in which abuse and mistreatment can occur.
It’s ethical to pay for what you consume. By consuming paid content, you’re supporting “humane” productions that pay actresses and actors fairly.
The limits of ethical pornography
The fact that a platform or production company labels its productions as ‘ethical adult cinema’ does not necessarily guarantee that they meet this standard, especially since the interpretation of this term can vary from person to person.
The meaning of the term ‘ethical’ in the context of adult content remains ambiguous. It would be wise for platforms describing themselves as offering ‘feminist porn’ or for film companies to clarify their perspective on what makes their productions ethical. Providing clarification on aspects such as artist remuneration or consent legacy would be beneficial in informing consumers.
Is there a difference between ethical and feminist porn?
While ethical porn and feminist porn share close connections, we consider the two to be distinct concepts. Feminist porn primarily emphasizes placing women at the center of the narrative, respecting them, and prioritizing their needs and desires. As Erika Lust points out, feminist productions often involve an all-female technical crew on set. However, many feminist productions inherently embody ethical principles as well.
Ethical porn, on the other hand, prioritizes values such as consent, equal treatment, and body and gender diversity. Mainstream porn often reduces women to mere objects of desire, but ethical porn aims to put women on an equal footing. As a result, some may perceive ethical porn as feminist, when in reality, it simply embodies principles of consideration and respect.
