Pacer Pillowtalk: Ethical porn consumption
The porn industry today is often an under-the-table work force labor industry that often does not respect the rights of the people that are engaged in its content.
In order to become a more ethically built industry, content should be made legally, all workers’ rights should be respected and paid for their labor accordingly and each and every act during content should be consented by any and all individuals involved in the scene.
When we talk about porn ethically, we want to celebrate the diversity of sexuality, the multi-faceted complex components of sexual desire, without any judgement. There is the opportunity to explore both soft and hard aspects of sex without leading to shame.
Not only should the creation of porn be made ethically, but the consumption should be taken into consideration as well.
This includes things like using porn as a positive outlet in your relationships with any partners that you have. For instance, you should not break any promises to a partner about what you are viewing or isolate from your partner to view porn instead of being with them.
Porn can be a great way to increase sexual arousal and can help many people cope with sexual dysfunction that they are having, as well as find additional satisfaction with a partner. Just make sure you are enjoying it ethically.
