Is porn ethical?

[coordinatedchaos]

I don't beleive porn shoudl be banned, but then it's clear that it's pretty abusive behind the scenes.

Not all porn involves abuse, but it's clear that it's common.

Allegations on the conduct of Rocco Sifredi and Christian XXX lend to this. And this is a recent post from a relatively new studio/onlyfans star - https://x.com/ScarlettJonesUK/status/1912964790923800635.

Performers Speak Out: Christian XXX Accused of Sexual Assault

Is it fair to watch porn that could have been made via abuse?

Porn is an industry and mostly every industry is abusive to it's employees.

I think onlyfans and alikes changed it by allowing people to be their own porn producers, but I really don't have a depth view or knowledge of the scene to state it.

not all industries are as equally exploitable, and exploitation is a matter of degree. Onlyfans might have brought more autonomy, but then it doesn't necessarily lessen exploitation.

Not necessarily. But it lessens exploration based on the relation of boss and subordinate. At the same time it may lead to an exploration on the liberal terms of "boss of myself".

But all the industries work on the concept of exploring the workforce, whether it's more or less abusive is another question. Onlyfans is like Uber, Airbnb and others.

Instead of asking the black or white question...is porn ethical? Ask what would need to be done to make a particular piece of content ethical? That is, a code of conduct and a whole set of rules would have to be established and enforced....somehow.

If my partner and I were to generate content and post it to onlyfans....would that be considered to be ethical? And how could it be proven that it was done ethically? I'm not too sure?

no.
Produced, unethically probably but didn't witness the process to state anything.
Abuse is a crime and the law must take cards, if the result of that crime it's porn the law should act accordingly.
Very little of porn isn't tainted with some kind of violence, most depict plain rape.
Somehow they need to force as many stereotypes possible on a movie as people wouldn't watch a consenting hot couple fucking.
I don't think a digital intermediate could solve this the consumer will oppress the performer, yes he/she can choose but also has to compete to keep the money coming.

Since the English used here is very poor, I won't engage with it that much. I don't have much tolerance for passive-aggression. All the same, I stand by my initial points. As in if porn is often made by means of abuse, then the consumers of such can and should be mindful of it.

By asking if it's ethical, one can then examine the nuances. That cannot be answered by a mere "yes or no" point.
