5 Reasons Why You Should Pay For Porn

Back in the day, accessing porn took time and effort. You had to know where to get it and you had to pay for it (or get it as a hand me down from someone who had done the work to get hold of it). I remember the nude magazines at my local newsagent, with models hidden behind black plastic covers. The softcore porn in a private corner at the video store. Borrowing copies of XXX videos from my friends who had got them via weird mail order companies.

Now, all you need to do is open up your internet browser, plug a term into your search engine and bingo. You have access to pretty much anything your heart desires. The fact is that the internet was built for porn and is an outstanding medium to access it quickly and easily.

I believe that we need to maintain the values of the old days and continue to pay for porn. This may sound like a novel concept in a time when we crave immediacy, but maintaining the old values whilst embracing the new platforms we have at our disposal is really important. Here are five reasons why…

1. Porn is a product, like any other

Those photos, that gif, that clip that you viewed on the internet, is so accessible that we forget that this is someones work that they have put time, effort and resources into making for your entertainment. We are used to paying to listen to music, watch movies or tv shows, read books, so why are we not doing the same for our sexy content? Some say this is because there is so much freely available, we don’t put any value on it. The reality is that the stuff that is freely available is stolen from the very creators who put it together in the first place. Therefore, I argue that all it takes is a shift in mindset, from stealing content for your entertainment, to paying something for it. The ethical porn movement is a very real thing, and something I subscribe to wholeheartedly.

2.Porn is ridiculously cheap to buy

I am online most of the day working on promoting my own content and those of others. Porn is ridiculously, stupidly cheap to purchase. I know because I see the products people are selling everyday. Full length clips for $5, Premium Snapchat subscriptions (or “pocket porn”) for less than you are paying for Netflix per month, photosets containing hundreds of photos for the price of seeing a movie, live sessions with models for only a few dollars per minute. There is literally no excuse not to pay someone for something.

3. Paying for porn means you get what you want

What does your heart desire? Do you like MILFs? Taboo role play? Anal? Outdoor play? Couples? Group sex? Believe me, you can get your exact fantasy by paying performers for it. In my opinion, this is one of the best things about being able to access porn on the internet. You no longer have to stick with the rigid sexual fantasies of a chosen few, but you have a world of things to choose from. Explore, fantasize and design your own sexual adventures.

4. Porn is a legitimate job, and the only one available for some

Making porn takes time, money and resources. It looks like fun and games but there is a whole lot of stuff going on behind the scenes that you have no idea about. For some, creating porn is one of the few ways they have to make an income due to family/care commitments, health issues, disability, criminal records and lack of suitable employment where they live. Help keep someone fed and housed by paying for that little clip you enjoyed.

5. Help the porn industry grow

Paying for porn does something really important which may sound counter-intuitive, but makes economic sense. The more porn you pay for, the more porn there is available. It means performers can dedicate more time to content creation, making more amazing vids, photos and gifs for you to enjoy. It means the industry becomes diversified; if people are interested in a particular type of content and are willing to pay for it, it will become more available. It means we can keep people in the industry for a longer period of time which translates to more sexy content for the fans.

These five points are only the beginning… there are way more arguments for why it is important to pay for your porn, that I will explore in another post. But for now, I hoped I have convinced you enough that you are now willing to send a little tribute my way…
