Liberals and violent porn and rape simulation

[HappyinLA]

340. Just some thoughts from someone who works for a place that makes "rape porn".

After spending my days reading this site for quite some time now (I so so happy to find it), I find a topic that I can actually speak of, that I'm guessing most folks don't know much about. I work in the adult entertainment industry.

First, I see a lot of talk about consent. For US based production, what I can address, we have a lot of paperwork. Making a porno is in a lot of ways no different than any other video production. You have auditions, ask for performers to come in, they all get told up front and in detail what the job is. There is no mystery to any of this. If they get cast, they sign a contract. The contract spells out specifically what they are doing (each individual sex act) and what they get paid. They have to provide proof of STD tests, agree they don't have injuries or anything that might be aggravated by working, etc. This is all done up front, there is no cornering them on set to sign the paperwork. Once on set they'll do a consent video where the performer will agree again. All this stuff is filed away according to law for access by anyone who wants to see it. All the consent stuff is taken very seriously because of the nature of some of the videos we make. And yes, we make "rape porn", but not exclusively. Most is pretty generic "pretty people fucking" type stuff. But we do fetish things like preggers, grannies, bondage, etc. No corpses or animals, that's messed up and illegal.

Second, we get subpoenas all the time. Someone in Oklahoma catches their kid watching a video and thinks the performer is too young, they call the cops and we get a visit to provide proof it's all kosher. We have people who's only job is to compile this information for law enforcement.

Third, the UK/Scottish laws. Frankly, they're a joke. Our entire business is built around getting around laws like this. Literally, they founded the company I work for specifically to provide porn to countries where it is illegal to possess. We created an entire law firm for just this. The trick is "possession". Turns out, that as long as you are watching a streaming video, if that video isn't streaming from a server in your jurisdiction, they can't touch you. So we house those videos in places that they are legal, so people all over the world can enjoy them. In fact, these laws make it possible for us to make a lot of money. In the places where these laws don't exist, we can't make a penny.
