      I cant believe no one else commented on that. She is beautiful. Nice skin completion, natural beauty, and like you mentioned her hair is amazing. I think girls in general look better with natural beauty.

    I hate all these demeaning comments. Have some damn respect for your fellow human beings. 😕
    I've followed Jiz Lee's career for years, since they've written multiple books, work as a sex educator, and make amazingly queer content as a camera operator/editor of PinkLabel's Crashpad Series. Their essays on queerness and sexuality are awesome and they're an outspoken activist for sex workers' rights.
    The same praises can be sung about Stoya and Nikki Darling, who've both been quite vocal on the sometimes harsh realities of the sex industry.
    As sex workers, these people always bear the brunt of today's misogyny, slut-shaming, and some people's saviour complex, but if they have the audacity to raise their voices in protest or call people out on their BS, they're bullied and humiliated. 🤔
    Shame on all those small-minded bigots. #sexworkisrealwork #supportsexworkers

      Sweetheart, it's not “bitching“ when you raise awareness for more diversity. If you don't like their work, fine. But complaining about other people's identity and their sense of community is the epitome of privilege...
      Also, calling people out on their (in your eyes masculine) looks is quite childish. We're all different and express ourselves differently. Jiz Lee happens to be genderqueer, so they may not meet your heteronormative convention of gender. Read and watch some of their work or talk to some LGBTQ+ people, before you express your own outdated opinions on something you obviously have no clue about.

    I always viewed people’s sexual interests/fetishes/turn ons as a bit of a window into their subconscious’s. It CAN say quite a bit about a person and how they view other people, what they want from the world, any repression’s that they have, and what makes them feel powerful and sexy. I also think it shows how deeply influenced by society porn is. I personally get IMMEDIATELY turned off by most of those demeaning titles that they mentioned or if something looks painful or uncomfortable because i don’t want to see people degraded or treated like shit and they’re not obviously enjoying it.

    • @thandiganya3473
      @thandiganya3473 6 лет назад +4

      Same. I really want to like porn but I can't get past how degrading a lot of it can be. I often end up scrolling through videos for ages before I can find something even remotely watchable.

      Me too.
      I see a lot of “brutal “ porn and I am like WTF.
      I cannot watch a female get tied up like a hog and fucked while she is crying. Acting or not that shit is ridiculous and I am starting to see too much of it on Pornhub and other sites.
      Sex is getting way to crazy and needs to return to story based sensual movie scenes
      I am a black man and I get turned on more from sensual films respecting the lady than this Brutal.com crap

      @thandiganya3473 6 лет назад +3

      Jacob Star In general, it doesn't bother me that much whether it's sensual or bdsm. It's just hard to get past the flood of creepy and/or racist titles that include phrases like "teen in pigtails" "ghetto ebony" or "tiny asian gets bbc". Then when you click on one, the female actress always looks bored, overworked, and often very uncomfortable. Maybe the people who watch it can't tell the difference, but instead of being sexy it ends up being kind of sad and awkward. To me, it doesn't have to be sensual necessarily to respect the actors involved. Not to mention the fact that sex in porn is so far removed from sex in the real world it's laughable.

    This series is fucking great!! We badly need more of this kind of thing, especially here in the States. I don't think they could have chosen any better people to talk about their experiences. And, holy crap! Look! It's Jizz Lee!! Such a major plus, and credit to whoever put this series together, to have someone like Jizz in the mix.
    Sex positivity all day long, from now on. Full stop.
    And guys, get over yourselves. Women are the future. And we cis men, esp white cis men, will get our chance to become relevant again when we can honestly look at literally everyone else and only see equals.

  • @daverhoden445
    @daverhoden445 6 лет назад +5

    Back in the day when I just started watch porn used to wonder why all the "interracial" porn was just black folks with white folks? The first couple of times I thought it might just have been coincidence but I eventually caught on that it was deliberate. I didn't even know about the differences in pay rates until a few years ago. Minority porn stars need to start charging more for interracial scenes until they achieve parity.

  • @WillyWanker1974
    @WillyWanker1974 6 лет назад +23

    Thank you for this series. These are human beings doing a job. Just as some people love their jobs and some hate their jobs they are just the same. It is a job. MOST men use porn in some way in the shadows and then shame these women in public. Men AND women stop the hypocrisy and lies and realize these are not villains these are entertainers.

  • @Febiza919

    The lack of representation and racism in porn and it's marketing is a project I really wanted to research/present in college but...ya know...trying to frame that conversation in a classroom without getting labelled and blackballed is so difficult. All of a sudden everyone gets super immature like,"Why do you care about it so much *knowing stares*". Well, because it's a multi billion dollar industry that y'all participate in everyday that's why.

    • @Febiza919
      @Febiza919 6 лет назад

      Not sure, you'd have to go by category (amateur vs. professional etc.) but I was aiming more at the pay disparity, the marketing of black and minority performers and the fact that white performers are allowed to play so many different characters (the nerd, goth girl, girl next door, teacher, nurse, babysitter, femdom etc.) and others, especially the black female performers (as was mentioned) are all lumped into either 'ebony' or 'ratchet ghetto sl** gets blah blah blah'. But lack of representation also plays a part

    I HATE the term "people of color". But it really is hard to find good non-white porn. It's there, but it's FAR less common. And Asian porn is generally terrible- it's like the women are babies being raped. It's awful. Finding a confident Asian woman having clearly consensual, non-blurred sex is SO hard. And the majesty (IMHO) of the black female body is almost totally ignored. And the natural, unaltered female body is of course called a fetish because American women have body issues that they will defend with their lives.

      utubenoobie01 Don't know where you live or anything but you just have to learn that any woman (regardless of ethnicity) just wants to be treated as a person first and foremost. They may genuinely want to get to know you. *But* just because you may or may not watch porn of a specific ethnicity, if you meet someone in real life just don't assume they're supposed to be great in bed like your favorite performers and that's some notch on your belt of colors you can knock off the list. All women are people. Like the individual before you end up assuming you're like a kid in the amusement park of her race. Oh so *this* is what it's like to date +/or sleep with a (black, Chinese, etc) girl. Don't be that guy and your chances will spike 1000x over. ☺

      actually, black men dating, marrying and sexing white women are threats to white supremacy. black women freely had sex with white men since slavery days and they were not lynched like black men who were accused of having sex with white women. asian men dating white women was also frowned on. Asa Akira is Jpanese decent. did she knew that during the Japanese American internement during world war 2 Japanese men who married white women where forced to go into internment camps. while Japanese women married to white men DID NOT forced to go into the camps?
