Hello
I'm writing this message after having seen the documentary on netflix. I am really far from being a fan but I wanted to sincerely support you in your fight. I know how hard it must be for you. Women don't end up in porn for no reason and being deprived of income is something inhuman.I think that many women who end up in this business have been in complicated situations and not all of them chose this path for pleasure.Many people don't realize how much pain this can be for you and unfortunately, once you get in there, I am aware of the fear you may feel. Finding a job in a store or in another field can become complicated. I wanted to write you this message. I can only support you and hope that your rights will be better defended in the future. I wish you all the best and outside of porn of course. You are human and you deserve respect.
I wish you a great day.
This was an interesting Ask I received about the Netflix documentary. There's a lot of subtext to unpack here, so I'm going to answer a few of the Asker's statements individually.
I'm writing this message after having seen the documentary on netflix. I am really far from being a fan but I wanted to sincerely support you in your fight.
Thank you! I'm thrilled that so many people have seen the documentary. More than 13 million people in 65 countries have watched it, and it's been in the Top Ten on Netflix in dozens of countries since the day it came out. It's totally up to you whether you consider yourself a fan of mine. Thank you for clarifying that you're not, I guess? (lol)
I know how hard it must be for you. Women don't end up in porn for no reason and being deprived of income is something inhuman.
I did not "end up" here. I didn't slip on a banana peel. I made a conscious and informed choice to do porn. I love my work, and it can be challenging and stressful sometimes, like any other job. But I've never thought of it as "hard" in the way that you seem to imply with this comment. I genuinely love what I do, so even when it's stressful, I still enjoy it. And I agree that it's dehumanizing to have my livelihood attacked and potentially compromised by outsiders who don't understand how the industry functions, and don't value my work.
I think that many women who end up in this business have been in complicated situations and not all of them chose this path for pleasure.
There it is again. "End up." I hope you realize how patronizing that sounds. People choose to work in the adult industry for all of the same reasons that they might choose any other job. The pursuit of pleasure is a factor in many performers' choice to work in porn, of course. Money is also a big one. Because generally when you do a job, you want to be paid for it. That's how jobs work. I don't think that's problematic, or a reason to feel pity for sex workers.
Many people don't realize how much pain this can be for you and unfortunately, once you get in there, I am aware of the fear you may feel.
I'm not in pain, nor am I afraid for my safety. Maybe you meant that in a more general sense, but I do take offense to anybody making the assumption that sex workers are inherently afraid and in pain. The only thing I'm really "afraid" of is the speed at which the United States is careening toward a religious, conservative, fascist dictatorship.
Finding a job in a store or in another field can become complicated.
Yes, it can be, but only because of the stigma against sex workers. The more recognizable you are as a porn performer, the harder it might be to find a job outside of the adult industry, should you desire to. That being said, I worked "civilian" jobs during my 5 year retirement, and fortunately for me, I never had any real issues. I was recognized a few times, and one of my former coworkers tried to report me to HR for literally just existing, but I was never fired or treated poorly by an employer.
I can only support you and hope that your rights will be better defended in the future. I wish you all the best and outside of porn of course.
If you wish me the best outside of porn but not in it, then you don't wish me the best. When you word it like that, you sound like a sex work "abolitionist."
You are human and you deserve respect.
I am, and I do. And all sex workers deserve respect, too.
HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Asians in Porn
Tumblr media
When we want to talk about the fetishization of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders we need to discuss the portrayals of ourselves in porn. Our portrayals in media matter in how many of us are perceived as we interpret media as realistic portrayals of life. Leaving out porn in our discussion of representation in media would be a poor decision as porn websites get more traffic a month than many of the worlds most popular apps, like Tik Tok or Amazon. So how have Asians been portrayed in porn in the past and present?
Yellowface in Stag Pornography
According to The Museum of Sex, stag films were "[produced in the] early 1900s until the late 1960s" and "were predominantly short, black-and-white, and anonymously produced". In order to look at the historical portrayal of Asian Women in porn, we have to look at how Asians are portrayed and racialized in early stag films.
Celine Parreñas Shimizu discusses and analyzes Yellowface in stag pornography in her book "The Hypersexuality of Race" in Chapter Four "Racial Threat or Racial Treat? Preforming Yellowface". She finds in her viewings of stag pornography that the sexuality of Asian women is racialized in these films. As the actresses portraying the "Asian" women in this films are white, stereotypical, orientialist props are used to racialize the actresses. Kimonos, chopsticks, flowing robes, and specific hairstyles such as buns are stereotypically used to racialize the actresses.
"Making fun of Asians indicates the place of Asian women in the stag film. Their bodies are made into cultural objects for the viewers’ pleasure and/or ridicule. Their difference provides visual pleasure that comes from seeing objects from afar: exotic items previously unseen for they belong somewhere out there"
Genitalia also becomes a sight for racialization as closeup shots of penetration (also known as "money shots") serve to not just show the act of sex but also the differences in skin color, and sometimes even the anatomy of genitalia to differentiate race.
Many of these stag films end with messages of racial harmony, using sex to show the indifference between races. Yet these films depend on racial differences to drive the stories and arousal in their films. The sexuality of Asian women is exotic and fetishized in order to turn racial panic (Yellow Peril) in racial pleasure (Yellow Pleasure) to appeal to a white male gaze at the time. Through this analysis, we can see how the sexuality of Asian women has been purposely differed and stereotyped in order to appeal to sexual fantasies of the white male gaze.
"the stags offer a pornotopia that says that sex universalizes racial difference" "Race signals perversity. If the sex acts are equally the same, as the films ultimately argue, the marketing of racial difference seems to be contradicted. If Asian women do not ‘do’ sex differently, what’s the big deal? Race functions as a part of the narrative in the commodification of sex"
Portrayal in Porn Today
We can see how the exaggeration and usage of race to translate to sexual pleasure is presently used in porn. "Asian" is often its own category in porn and represents more of just Asians having sex. Porn including Asians is often racialized and stereotypical, as Asians continue to be portrayed as "doing sex differently". Asian women in particular continue to be portrayed as small, submissive, infantile, and exotic. Not only have these portrayals continued, but the popularity of Asian porn has skyrocketed.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
According to PornHub Insights for 2023, we can see how Asian categories or "Asian-related" categories (categories associated with Asian and Asian produced media) have been extremely popular in porn search history and viewership. For me this not only reflects a growing interest in Asian porn but may also indicate the consumership of sterotypical and fetishizating behavior towards Asian women today.

watching money shot: the pornhub story and getting pissed off ALL OVER AGAIN about the lie that is fosta-sesta and the ban on explicit imagery across all social media sites (including tumblr) as a result. pissed off about the witch hunt on pornography and sex workers themselves. pissed off about religious extremists pretending they give a fuck about csam and survivors, when their real interst is just eliminating things they find "distasteful" (everything from porn to queers--because lets not lie we are one and the same to them). And how in this faux crusade of "save the children" they make it HARDER to find the actual sex traffickers.

Money Shot: The Pornhub Story
Release Date: March 15, 2023 | Netflix
SYNOPSIS:
The documentary explores how the pornography streaming site has changed lives — for better, and for worse.
REVIEW:
Pornhub found massive success by revolutionizing the adult entertainment industry and changing the way pornography is distributed and produced. But a never-ending machine streaming pornographic content led to increased scrutiny and soon the site was under investigation following accusations of sex trafficking, sex abuse, and revenge porn. With little to no action to remedy this by the company, a congressional act made companies liable for their content and this not only called for the site to be closed down but changed the lives of the companies’ most prominent sex workers and employees.
CAST: Pornhub corporate employees and journalists, Wolf Hudson, Siri Dahl, Natassia Dreams, Cherie DeVille, Asa Akira

Money Shot: The Pornhub Story (dir. Suzanne Hillinger).
Netflix’s documentary feels like a fairly paper-thin examination of contemporary online sex work explored through the most popular and notable brand in the industry. This look into the business of amateur pornography, Pornhub’s parent tech company MindGeek, and the greater regulation of the channels essential to consuming explicit content is ultimately not much more than a base-level superficial account with further context or details needed to flesh out the industry’s full influence.
