Porn as a medium can be used in a positive or negative way as everything else. It is absolutely possible to create porn that is not rooted in exploitation and misogyny by changing the narratives and making a positive shift in the production process. This is what adult independent productions like mine have been trying to do for more than two decades now.&#8220;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Pinkett Smith&#8217;s publicist did not respond to Yahoo Life&#8217;s request for comment. Paltrow&#8217;s publicist did &#8211; pointing out the &#8222;Good Porn Guide&#8220; on Paltrow&#8217;s wellness site Goop, which notes, &#8222;If you haven&#8217;t checked what&#8217;s available in a while, you might be pleasantly surprised. There are a growing number of platforms building a body of porn that is compelling and diverse, shown through the female gaze, made by women, ethically produced &#8211; and hot.&#8220; It then calls out works including those from Lust (proving that, even if Paltrow isn&#8217;t aware of feminist porn, her writers are).<\/p>\n<p>&#8222;I wish Gwyneth could have used her conversation with Jada to highlight our groundbreaking work just as she did on her website,&#8220; says Lust.<\/p>\n<p>This is not the first time that Pinkett Smith has talked about porn, noting in a 2019 Red Table Talk episode that she used to have &#8222;a little porn addiction.&#8220; Her daughter Willow, meanwhile, admitted she began seeing porn online at age 11, but noted &#8222;&#8230;because I had you and daddy to actually have real conversations with, that stuff didn&#8217;t affect me because I had a connection with people I could talk to about it. And I knew what the reality was.&#8220;<\/p>\n<h2>Financial damages<\/h2>\n<p>But Trouble points out that lumping all porn together for criticism is not only inaccurate but potentially damaging. &#8222;Already we are up against so much&#8230;with the way that religious organizations, political lobbyists and corporations are pigeonholing sex workers out of legitimate banking and business opportunities,&#8220; she says, referring to how some payment platforms shut out those in the adult industry. &#8222;Statements like these <a href=\"https:\/\/hookupdate.net\/nl\/gescheiden-dating\/\">enkele gescheiden dating<\/a> sensationalize porn in a way that actually ends up with us losing our jobs.&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>Gallop, whose TED talk on the need for real vs. performative adult content went viral a full 12 years ago, highlights such financial blockades. &#8222;I have fought a battle every day to keep [Make Love Not Porn] going &#8211; not even to grow it,&#8220; she says, pointing to an infrastructure that largely blocks adult content from doing business &#8211; from her not being able to take payments and pay Make Love Not Pornstars via Paypal, to having to &#8222;beg&#8220; the heads of video-sharing tech services for access and being banned from advertising on Facebook, Instagram and elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>If they and others are really concerned about women, Lust says, &#8222;we should be asking ourselves, &#8218;How are women treated in the porn industry? Are these women fully in charge of their own careers?'&#8220; Because if folks condemn the industry without mentioning this aspect, she explains, &#8222;we&#8217;ll only end up reinforcing stigma over sex workers while conflating it with sex trafficking&#8230; There is the assumption that porn and sex work are always particularly exploitative for women, which just isn&#8217;t true. So many female performers are empowered and elevated by what they do!&#8220;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do governments guarantee basic labor rights for female sex workers?
