Ethical porn
You probably already know about porn, but what is ethical porn? And how can you help support responsible, quality-conscious and realistic portrayals of sex? We have gathered our recommendations for good, ethical porn here
Is porn bad?
Porn is not necessarily a bad thing, and in many cases it can actually be a good tool for exploring one's sexuality and desire. The problem with porn, however, arises as a result of the porn industry. Despite a lot of attention on the industry, there are still huge problems with the workers working conditions and the unrealistic, limiting representation of sex and the body. Maybe you have tried watching porn where you can't recognize yourself in the behavior or appearance of the actors, or it just doesn't look like reality - and although it has been said many times, it really does distort the image of what sex (and you) are supposed to look like.
Instead of watching porn that leaves you confused and unsatisfied, try ethical porn instead. In ethical porn the focus is on the actors' conditions, and that the actors also look and behave like real people performing actions they enjoy. Just like with "ordinary" porn, you will find countless of great categories and here we have collected our suggestions for two really good categories.
We've also previously written about nine of our favorite ethical porn sites, which you can find right here.
Crash Pad Series - Queer porn
CrashPadSeries is based on the concept of a queer porn from 2005 called "the Crash Pad" (which is also worth a look!), where two queer women are lucky enough to get their hands on a key to an apartment, where they can live out their wildest fantasies together. This plot of meeting and letting go of inhibitions together in the apartment is the silver lining to all the porn on CrashPadSeries, but the actors are new and lovely every time - CrashPadSeries casts real, queer couples who are in full control of the actions in the porn. A subscription costs approximately DKK 150 per month.
Queer Porn TV - Produced on the actors' terms
QueerPornTV is a platform for hot, queer porn, where everything is produced on the actors' terms. A subscription costs approximately DKK 150 per month, and you can also check out their free content right here.
Bedside Production - Inclusive porn
Bedside Production differs from the mainstream, heteronormative, limiting porn. Bedside Productions is a creative platform working to make porn a fun and inclusive display of different sexualities and bodies, entirely on the terms of those involved.
You can buy a monthly subscription for approximately DKK 23, or a 24-hour access for approximately DKK 30 - really smart if you don't watch porn regularly, and maybe just want a little tester.
Four Chambers - Artistic porn
Four Chambers is a film platform created by porn actor, director and filmmaker Vex Ashley. The films have a more artistic, staged expression - but without the actors or their sex seeming inauthentic or forced. You can watch a small trailer for all the content for free before buying a subscription. A full subscription costs approximately DKK 60 per month.
Bright Desire - Sex is fun too
Bright Desire was started by Ms. Naughty, who creates porn with the aim of celebrating sex and all that it entails. There's a focus on showing all sides of sex - even those where you laugh at an awkward sound or are completely sweaty and red. It provides an authentic and nice porn experience. A subscription for the first month costs DKK 180 and then it's DKK 75.
