![]() Women tend to experience more challenges with letting themselves get immersed in the fantasy of porn if they have any doubts about the consensual nature (i.e., physical, emotional, financial) of the scene. Although this is a fantastic leap for women in reclaiming their sexuality and pleasure, this can create some challenges for pornography producers. Within the last few decades, the consumer pool for porn has been expanding to include more women. Again, because of the subjective nature of ethics, each viewer can expand this definition based on the viewer’s own value system to include any additional elements that are important to the viewer. In view of these points, the simplest definition of ethical porn would be: erotic material that is produced legally, respects the rights of the performers and for which performers are compensated fairly. Taking this content-neutral argument further, some people suggest that ethical porn should focus on the actors’ pleasure and preferences, whatever the context, to provide a more realistic representation of sexual interactions. They argue you can have ethical, kinky porn and, conversely, unethical, vanilla porn therefore, content shouldn’t be the focus of evaluation. They assert that pornography provides a non-threating sexual outlet and people should be free to explore “taboo” topics (e.g., rape, incest, gang bangs). ![]() On the other hand, some advocates suggest that fantasy content should be disregarded when deciding if porn is ethical. For some, porn is not ethical unless the erotic material attempts to highlight positive sexual images rather than reinforce negative stereotypes, such as an over reliance on altered bodies through surgeries (e.g., breast implants, labia reduction) or procedures (e.g., anal bleaching) or dehumanizing storylines (e.g., hostile sexism, racism). Other less common (but equally important) factors to consider when evaluating the ethicalness of porn include whether there is a good representation of diverse body types, race, gender and story plots.
