Shnaidman assures women she created this porn clearinghouse for only the best and most feminist reasons. Apparently all it takes to find feminist pornography is being willing to band together with other feminists and become unpaid porn stars, erotica writers, and digital content producers for the cause! Canadian magazine The Link describes founder Michelle Schnaidman's role as curating or facilitating porn-"she makes it available for those who seek it." It solves what Bustle writer Joanna Weiss described as the "pesky paywall" problem by featuring porn clips cribbed from all around the web, without paying or promoting the people who made them.īellesa also asks women to upload their own "erotic stories, sexy photos and GIFs, and feminist blog posts" for free, for the fun of it.
Nothing wrong with that per se-in fact, a porn platform with serves up a variety of videos (not just the softcore, romantic stuff that's often assumed to appeal more to women) with a less aggressively masculine interface would probably do well.īut for a site to live up to its idealistic, feminist branding, it needs to account for the labor and intellectual property of those producing the content-the performers, directors, and others who actually make the adult videos-whether that means making content distribution deals with independent sex workers or ethical-porn production companies producing content in house or working out some sort of profit-sharing platform for user-created content.īellesa-Catalan for beauty-does none of these things. Little of Bellesa's video content, however, distinguishes it from other porn sites it's Pornhub in a Pinterest wrapper. A recent writeup on Bustle hails the (NSFW) site as "good both for women and for men who want something outside what our patriarchal, heteronormative society dictates they should like." Read on for 17 of our faves that’ll get you off and get the creators paid."Our goal was to undress Pinterest, not dress up Pornhub," the press kit for Bellesa, a Montreal-based web startup, proclaims with lofty feminist ambitions. And luckily for, well, just about everyone, there are tons of safe porn sites and apps out there you can feel good about ethically and physically. You get that spicy content, the people who made it enthusiastically consented to the process, and it won’t crash your computer. “Porn is known for leading people to have orgasms and regular orgasms have various medical benefits such as reduced stress, improved immunity, pain reduction (including period cramp relief), stronger pelvic floor muscles, better sleep, and so forth.” Plus, watching porn is a way to engage in a type of sex you might not want to/be ready to partake in IRL or just explore ideas to try with a partner.īasically, watching safe porn is a win-win all around. And once you find something you like, Rowntree stresses the benefits of watching. The very good news is that there are a lotta different types of ethical porn out there to fulfill any fantasy or highlight any kink. “Why do movies at a theater cost money? Ethical porn pays everyone (cast and crew) and has production costs.” And FWIW, watching porn that you know was created safely just feels better. “Like any other form of entertainment, porn costs money to make,” Rowntree says. A bummer, sure, but in reality, this is a good thing. But what fans often find is that the ethically made stuff isn’t free.
