How to watch porn ethically

Truth be told - most of us have watched porn at least once in our lives. But how many of us have been consuming porn ethically or even thought about it? When the horniness hits, we often head to our favorite tube site or cam site to get our rocks off. Too busy with finding the right video that hits the spot, we don’t even consider if the people staring in it have been properly compensated for their work or have even consented to the video being posted on this site.

Everyone’s first stop - tube sites

While the boom of tube sites like Pornhub have made porn more accessible than ever, they have also made it harder for independent content creators to be fairly paid for their hard work. According to Pornhub’s FAQ section, in 2018 the average revenue per thousand views was $0.64. Not much, is it? And, after losing credit card processing at the end of 2020, the income of Pornhub verified models dropped significantly. Before this, you could at least send a tip to your favorite models to show your appreciation, but that is no longer an option.

It is also important to point out that many other tube sites still allow unverified accounts to upload videos, which means that content piracy is still thriving. As you click on a video of your favorite creator, you might not notice that it is uploaded by someone else. Therefore, the performer you like gets no compensation for their work, not even mere pennies. So, the first step of consuming porn ethically is to avoid tube sites and pirated content sites where possible.

If you do stumble across someone whose content you enjoy on one of these sites, find a way to tip them for their work elsewhere! Or even better - go to a clip site like ManyVids or Clips4Sale to purchase the desired video with the knowledge that your favorite porn creator will be rewarded for their hard work. Alternatively - some creators also do direct sales, which they often announce on their Twitter profiles. While going this route, remember to not mention anything sex work-related in the CashApp or similar processor’s payment note. Preferably, leave it blank to avoid your favorite creator’s account getting shut down.

Don't want to pay full price? That's fine too, many websites, including Slut Inspection run promotions where you can get a discount on the monthly subscription. And it's always less money than a daily cup of coffee.

24/7 live entertainment on cam sites

“Talk to hot girls online for FREE! No credit card required!” This is just one, generic way freemium sites like Chaturbate, Bongacams etc might get advertised. Considering the main focus is usually on public shows, viewers do have the option to be more passive and just enjoy the show without getting involved. But is watching someone’s public show for an hour, while you expect everyone else to tip, an ethical thing? Well, no.

While cam sites that focus on public shows don’t require everyone to tip, it is often expected and always appreciated. Some viewers might feel like there is no point to tip if they can’t tip a significant amount. As an occasional viewer myself, I can agree that it can feel discouraging to see someone dropping hundreds of tokens when you can only tip like 50. The comparison mode turns on, and you start wondering if there’s a point to tip at all. This can be especially true when you enter a cam room where prices are above your spending abilities, and I’m saying that from my own personal experience. Luckily for you, the solution is quite easy - browse other cam models and find one that not only fits your criteria but is also in your ideal price range. After that, you can just enjoy the show and tip according to your financial abilities. Every contribution brings the model closer to the goal and is highly appreciated.

Now, you are equipped with all the knowledge you need to enjoy porn ethically when you need to satisfy your sexual needs again. So, the next time you watch someone’s public cam show, remember to tip if and what you can. The amount does not matter - it’s the gesture that counts! You are not expected to drop hundreds of tokens for instant cum or attempt to beat someone’s highest tip. Any tip amount counts as a gesture of appreciation to your favorite content creator or cam model.
