Why you should pay for your porn (at least sometimes) –

One of my personal pet peeves as a creator is when people boast Refusing to pay for art they love as if it is something to be proud of. If you love art, it’s important to pay for it – at least some of the time!

Now, don’t get me wrong – obviously financial hardship can make this difficult or impossible, and I think art is a basic human necessity, which is why I think it’s true that a lot of art (including porn) is legally available for free marvelous.

but if you able I think you should be able to purchase art that is important to you, at least some of the time. I’ve teamed up with Bunny Agency to write this article, in which I’ll tell you some of the key reasons why your favorite porn beauties are worth your money…

Only money can keep art alive!

This is really the crux of the matter. You can’t create art (at least not consistently and well) without money, because artists are human beings, and humans need money to survive. It’s that simple.

It’s so hard to be a creator these days, especially in the adult industry. Social media algorithms diminish our standing, search engines lower our rankings, payment processors ban us… and because of it all, many of us are struggling to get by. But the more money we make from actual art, the more time we can spend making it – because we don’t have to spend as much time worrying about money or doing other jobs to make ends meet .

It drives me crazy when I see people complaining about paywalls on news articles while simultaneously complaining about incomplete coverage or lackluster fact-checking of certain issues by news publications. consumer pay for their news This allows newsrooms to hire more/better reporters and fact-checkers! Like journalism, porn can’t continue to exist if no one pays for it, as creators must have food, shelter, and the tools of the trade to create.

Get what you want!

For those of us with specific pornographic tastes, it can be difficult to find porn that matches our desires. But many porn performers offer custom clips, so you can manifest your fantasies and receive porn tailored to your needs.

In talking to my friends who create and/or purchase custom clips, I’m starting to think customs are almost like tattoos in that you should choose an artist who is well versed in the style and content you’re looking for, tell them what you want, and then get it done They express their opinions. They often surprise you in ways that your limited imagination can never hope for!

Own it yourself, not live broadcast!

Usually (though not always), if you pay to watch a porn video, you can download it and keep it on your own hard drive, rather than being subject to the vagaries of hosting sites and inconsistent streaming speeds.

Have you ever watched a porn clip that you bookmarked online, only to find yourself landing on a 404 error page? Ever get excited when you’re stuck in an area with no cell service? It’s in these situations that I’m most grateful for the videos I shoot have Buy and save!

Support artists!

Despite nymphophobic rumors to the contrary, Onlyfans looks (and the like) are no A relaxing show! Creators often serve as their own photographers/cinematographers, editors, marketing directors, and business managers. They endure sexual harassment, malicious credit card chargebacks and sex work stigma. They have been through a lot and deserve to be paid for their hard work, just like everyone else!

Bandcamp sales are more profitable for musicians than Spotify streams, and when you actually buy porn performers’ content, they get a lot more money than if you just stream it for free (per thousand views They make about 69 cents). So, if you love your favorite porn stars and want them to stay in the industry, support them wherever you can!
