That argument is an oversimplification, but I think there is a genuine discussion to be had as to whether the labor of performing sexual gratification is meaningfully different from other forms of labor.

The discussion is already happening, and has been ongoing for a very long time. There is a lot of extremely thoughtful writing from actual sex workers & porn performers on this exact topic. One of those even got posted on the first page:

Lorelei Lee's article in N+1 Cash/Consent is an amazing dissection of the contradictions of working in porn, of how poverty can make consent fraught for any sex work, and how her work was still work that deserved dignity.

We are quickly getting to the point where deepfake technology and generative pornography is going to be prosumer- or consumer-grade availability either now or very soon. What controls should we put in place? Is it wrong to offer a service where a grieving widower can get a porno of him and his late wife made? What about "my fursona loving Scarlett Johanssen"? What harm is being done?

Pornhub Has a New Kink: Consent posted:

Pornhub notified performers this week that the platform is requiring proof of consent from anyone featured in its videos moving forward, according to emails seen by 404 Media Thursday. The policy update is Pornhub’s latest effort to verify that its performers are not being abused or sexually trafficked.

“On January 23, 2024, in addition to providing approved Co-Performer IDs, we will also require proof of consent, such as Signed Release Forms, when a new Co-Performer is added onto a Model account,” said an email from Pornhub to performers seen by 404 Media. The platform says this is a “requirement to approve and publish videos” and hopes the update will “foster a safer platform for all community members who upload content and engage with it.”

Since then, Pornhub has gone to great lengths to purge harmful content and improve its policies. This week’s policy update does more than ever to ensure the safety of its performers, at a time when internet porn itself is on the chopping block in many states.

Montana and North Carolina became the latest U.S. states to lose access to Pornhub this month, by introducing age verification laws for porn watchers. Aylo has a firm stance on this: we’re never going to ask viewers for their personal information, but we are going to require significant verification from the models in our videos to make sure they’re safe.

The newly passed laws around online porn in Montana and North Carolina do nothing to protect sex performers but rather vilify porn itself. Montana said in law SB 544 says “pornography is creating a public health crisis and having a corroding influence on minors.”

Pornhub’s policy update adds to a swath of protections already in place for its performers, including ID verification, facial recognition scanning, and release forms. The platform’s reputation has undergone a revamp in the last four years, and Pornhub is now a leader in safety for pornography performers
As a North Carolinian, it is beyond baffling that lawmakers are still targeting porn, which - that battle has already been fought. Porn won. Bigly.
