How to Find Ethical Porn

Ethical porn, sometimes referred to as feminist porn, is on the rise! The term “ethical” can mean a lot of different things to different people. However, there are some key components you should be looking for when searching for ethical erotic content.

Ethical porn is likely not free.

“Why would I pay for something that I can get for free?”

This is a very common mentality when it comes to online content. When it comes to erotic content, the chances of finding ethical porn for free are very limited.

Finding any kind of ethical content means that all people involved will be paid properly for their time and resources. Performers, filmmakers, editors…everyone involved gets paid fairly for the work they put into each project. And yes, sex work is work. Performing in erotic content is indeed a job that people should be paid for. In order to ensure everyone is being paid fairly, this means that you (the viewer) will likely have to pay to access the content after it’s made. Most of the time, this is a monthly or annual subscription fee.

Ethical porn is consensual. And that consent is highlighted, not glossed over.

Communication, consent, birth control, and awkward position changes are all part of ethical sex. These consent points are often glossed over or completely ignored in mainstream porn. Ethical porn will often highlight consent and communication in an effort to promote sexual wellness and satisfaction.

Ethical porn puts an emphasis on realistic pleasure for all kinds of people.

Over-the-top pleasure noises, unrealistic sex positions, and a complete disregard for foreplay are things you won’t find in ethical porn. Ethically produced content will focus on realistic narratives of pleasure: from the first kiss to delicate aftercare. Ethical porn will also focus on things that can be outside gender norms and often showcase kinks and fetishes that can be considered taboo in an attempt to normalize them.

Ethical porn is only ever shared consensually.

While consent while filming or creating the content is important, consent while sharing the content is also important in ethical porn. You will be able to tell if the content you’re watching is ethically produced and sourced. This often means contracts are put into place where the performers can consent to and agree upon how the content will be distributed and shared.

Ethical porn is often created in safe spaces designed for comfort.

The physical and emotional safety and comfort of performers in ethical erotic content are extremely important, and this is often showcased in the final product. You may notice that ethical porn is often filmed in comfortable locations such as bedrooms or studios. There is usually also a real authentic sensual vibe to the content because everyone is safe and comfortable.

Ethical porn is educational.

Aside from promoting sex-positivity, body-positivity, and realistic pleasure, ethical porn can also be extremely educational. Guides, sex-ed topics, or even just showcasing safe-sex practices are what can make porn feel so positive. Feminist porn often highlights and promotes education and proper exploration of all things sex and intimacy.
