    The Bondage and SM videos always end with the actress saying how much fun she had, when that part was clearly filmed before the horrendous session began. You can see it on the faces of the women that they are in deeper than they ever expected. I ran into one where the woman was crying uncontrollably while she was being urinated on and verbally abused. I haven't watched a porn in over ten years, but that scene stands out in my mind as truly tragic.

      Yea, well that would be a niche genre of porn. Not all porn is that extreme, bdsm also isn’t just porn. It’s like a community and people do it in real life without cameras, people actually did it before cameras.

      @@Eric_Bassett True, but I doubt the sadistic emperors of Rome had willing participants. There was probably a high number of sexual sadists among the Nazis too. Even today, Nazi uniforms and imagery play a big part in the SM scene. There is a real darkness that lurks in the human mind that comes out when people have power over one another.

I see that in every moment you have you take advantage of it to "defend" corn, although you do it in a strange way, justifying and looking for pathetic ways to defend its consumption, although you are right about the criticism that actresses receive from their own consumers, but only in that.
      Better admit that you like looking at it, that you are most likely an @dd1ct and that the frustration of finding a partner (something you say a lot) applies to your life, otherwise I don't understand why your eagerness to defend it like a wild animal with its food.

    True. When I was in the sex industry, I took great pains to convince those who could hire me that I was not in any kind of desperate situation. This is more important today than it used to be. No one wants to be the one who talked someone into it. I understood that they didn’t want something like that affecting their image or conscience. It’s uncomfortable and distasteful to employers and consumers. It’s also a legal liability. It’s, essentially, about image and the brand producers want to promote. I do the same thing with square employers. The more desperate I am for the job, the less desperate I want to appear, so they don’t worry about theft, a chaotic situation causing me to miss work, etc. I know it would not benefit me to do those things, but they don’t know. I stress my interest in the mission and philosophy of the organization or company, the type of work I’m qualified to do, and a strong desire to do the type of work they are offering. People with the power to make hiring decisions don’t often relate to a need to do anything that will make ends meet. It’s the same way in the sex industry. People want to hire someone who is excited about the work, not someone who supposes they will do it, if it comes down to survival. In the day of awareness of human trafficking, you not only have to work but you have to reassure people it’s ok with you and something you would do anyway, if money was not a factor. Performers and sexual service providers aren’t stupid and pick up on this easily. It comes from being turned down if you’re open and honest about doing so because you just left an abusive marriage, have a chronic illness and medical bills, kids you need to feed, an addiction, someone close to you with an addiction, or whatever the case may be. We see those who present themselves as eager, wild, incorrigible women being hired and paid gladly. It’s an image a lot of people wouldn’t want to portray, in any personal context, and the fact that people don’t notice the difference when money is involved is mind-boggling. Maybe the producers, etc. are aware, but reward people who play the role, for their image. I have seen a lot of street interviews on YT and the average viewer does not consider the worker’s position at all. They say, “I have no sympathy. She loves the lifestyle and chooses it freely.” They never consider what would happen to the p*rn performer or sexual service provider’s client base or fan base if they shared their uncensored point of view and feelings, much less how other people who earn money from their image and persona would react.

      Unfortunately, in our modern click-bait culture, feigned authenticity is not only expected, but pushed to its absolute limit. Non-sensational content no longer has a place in the market. The effect has been so radically transformative that I no longer believe people can even spot a hard truth when they're exposed to it; reality and marketing have become swirled together into one big bag of continuous disappointment. And why? Because it's an endless cycle of unrealistic expectations crashing into a refusal to accept less. Just like a Ponzi scheme, it'll always be better next time. More empty promises, less honesty.
      It's not just the dirty video industry feeling sensationalism's squeeze: any media that still wishes to survive has been affected, and it keeps ratcheting up. Even toilet paper now blithely claims that _12 = 48 rolls!_

      @@pocket83squared Excellent point! With so much competition, every product has to be sensational. As a consumer, I reject sensational claims and buy honestly and accurately advertised products, whenever possible. I support doing the same with erotica…purchasing only what could be healthy and enjoyable for both/all parties depicted, in real life. Pushing the limits of what the human body can endure should not be encouraged. I’ve known women who have bladder and bowel control issues, in their 20s, from sensational depictions of sex. It’s treating human beings as disposable. I’ve known of men who have gone through similar, with their psyches, but in mainstream, heterosexual p*rn, women bear the brunt of the push for more and further. Some women have boyfriends (or girlfriends) who are fixated on extreme sex and insist on it, bored with what they now view as soft core activities. Then, later, don’t want to be with a partner who loses bladder control during sex or has a rectal prolapse or perforations that make the rectum and vagina an all-purpose exit. I’ve seen women wait months to years to have these conditions corrected on state insurance, when they can’t make money anymore. These are situations I’ve seen play out many times. In the industry, they just get rid of you when you break, unless you’re willing to do “prolapse party” scenes, doing novel things that would, most likely, worsen that condition. I hear performers in their early 20s, who say it’s empowering to show how much the female body can take, which definitely gets them work, but I’d be interested to see how often it works out in their favor. It really comes down to how much control over shooting, when they are physically ready to accommodate more than common tastes. For most, who don’t produce their own video and make a living that way, once they participate in that arena, it’s expected. It’s even easy for cam girls and independent contractors to get themselves in that box, when they create sensational content. It’s not necessary, to work, but it can be, once you’ve done it. When it affects the welfare of people, like that, it’s a pressing area of consumer sensationalism!

    It's hard to know if anything we consume is ethical. Food, clothing, toys -- anything. 10000% percent agree with exposing the dangers of the porn industry, encouraging help for porn addictions, and being skeptical of what we consume. But even in situations where we have verbal consent in real life, we don't know if they are saying yes because they are vulnerable, experienced SA as a child, etc. like you mentioned in this video. Wouldn't that make any and all sex unethical? I guess I'm not totally convinced all porn is unethical, but I agree that the examples of even somewhat ethical pornography is few and far between -- and almost certainly behind a paywall.

    Unfortunately, it is nearly impossible to verify if any consumable media or product is ethically made. There is too much self-bias applied to the perspective represented in this video and much of it is likely hypocritical coming from a Westerner who participates in a capitalist society. Personally, I believe there is no such thing as "ethical" animal product consumption being that the animals have zero agency over what the humans are forcing on them and the person speaking may be a consumer of animal products who justifies their consumption in some way. That being said ethics is complex. Just like any industry there are sex workers that participate in the sex work industry in a way that is ethical and empowering and there are plenty of instances where there is manipulation and power dynamics at play that make it unethical. I believe to call all sex work or pornography unethical is an oversimplification with the context of a capitalist system which is inherently flawed and promotes unethical practices in all industries that we all participate in consciously or not.

    By the same logic, I could accuse anyone of anything at any time. Like saying this old, lady boomer complaining about legitimate sex workers is just christian BS, because no one can reliably prove me otherwise.
