What is Ethical Porn? The Ultimate Guide

fmedu | February 03, 2022

The ethical porn industry is growing, and that’s a good thing, because porn is correlated with more orgasms. Watching porn can be a great way to explore fantasies, learn about what turns us on, and prioritizes our pleasure. It can even make us better partners, depending on how we consume it.

The industry is worth a whopping $97 billion dollars globally, and 85% of people have watched porn in the past six months. Still, this source of mainstream entertainment is a touchy topic in our society. Even as we move toward more open-mindedness, porn is a topic of debate and controversy.

So how can consumers make better decisions when sourcing porn?

We partnered with afterglow, a platform that merges high quality porn and sexual wellness, to help educate us all on ethical porn (sometimes called feminist porn or fair trade porn), why it matters, and how to find it.
