Top porn producers come together to create guide to ethical porn

“If you want to support performers with good wages, pay for your porn,” says the Guide.

It provides a list of producers where consumers can find ethical porn, including afterglow, Erika Lust, and ForPlay Films; and industry organizations like FairPorn and BIPOC AIC.

Erika Lust, Creative Director of LustFilms and ethical porn innovator, says, “We’ve made great strides in normalising ethical standards in adult production over the last 20 years. Ethical porn platforms are blooming and growing in the sex positive space, showing that more and more people want porn to change – and that’s fantastic! Now it’s the time for sustainable porn consumption; we need to normalise our curiosity for sex and stop dehumanising sex workers. People who watch porn have the greatest power to change the industry for the better.”

Bree Mills, Chief Creative Officer of streaming giant Adult Time, says, “Being an ethical producer has nothing to do with your own gender or sexual preference. It’s about investing as much energy into how you produce as what you produce. Ensuring the experience is professional, progressive, and most importantly, as positive as possible for everyone involved. This counts from the moment the project is initiated through to well after it has wrapped.”

afterglow is an erotic sexual wellness website where porn is made by and for the feminine gaze. Where women can be both celebrated and centered. Where doing guided masturbations and partner exercises is as normal as reading the morning paper. Where having a better, more playful, more fulfilled relationship to sex is as easy as a monthly membership.

ABOUT LILLY SPARKS:

60% of women are dissatisfied with their sex lives. Lilly Sparks is on a mission to change that. She created afterglow because she learned about sex through porn, but never how to bring authentic pleasure and hot sex into her own life. She knew mainstream porn wasn’t serving women and wanted to see a world where informed pleasure is the norm.
