afterglow Publishes 'Ethical Porn' Guide

AUSTIN, Texas — Women and couples erotica and lifestyle brand afterglow has announced the publication of its “Ultimate Guide to Ethical Porn,” featuring interviews with site founder Lilly Sparks, Adult Time’s Bree Mills, ForPlay Films’ Inka Winter and Lust Cinema’s Erika Lust.

The three-page guide, according to a rep, defines “ethical porn producers” as “concerned with consent, fair pay, on-set diversity and bodily autonomy,” though they acknowledge that “there isn’t just one definition of 'ethical.'"

The guide encourages people who want to consume ethical porn to know how their porn is distributed, consume porn thoughtfully, support diverse casting, and "above all, pay for their porn."

The guide also aims to debunk “common myths about the porn industry,” which are “often distorted by the media and lawmakers.”

“We’ve made great strides in normalizing ethical standards in adult production over the last 20 years,” said Lust in her contribution. “Ethical porn platforms are blooming and growing in the sex positive space, showing that more and more people want porn to change — and that’s fantastic. Now it’s the time for sustainable porn consumption; we need to normalize our curiosity for sex and stop dehumanizing sex workers. People who watch porn have the greatest power to change the industry for the better.”

Adult Time’s CCO Bree Mills added that “being an ethical producer has nothing to do with your own gender or sexual preference. It's about investing as much energy into how you produce as what you produce. Ensuring the experience is professional, progressive, and most importantly, as positive as possible for everyone involved. This counts from the moment the project is initiated through to well after it has wrapped."

Sparks also highlighted the negative effects of “shame and lack of resources around sex in our society.”

“afterglow is here to change that, and we're starting with this guide to ethical porn,” she added.
