SEX DOESN’T SELL: The Decline of British Porn – “Regulation has killed it. Age-verification is killing us”

GOOD NEWS! The UK porn business is declining due to regulation like age-verification. Hopefully the U.S. will follow! ~~~

“The industry is imploding,” the director of a pay-per-view adult television channel says. “If there was less free porn around, my business would be stronger.” Jerry Barnett, an industry lobbyist, and founder of Sex and Censorship, thinks the UK business “has shrunk by over 90%” in the past seven years. [...]

“The tubes gave the typical surfer all the free content he would like. That has cannibalised the monetisation of all adult content. I blame it on hubris. We thought it was always going to be good, that no one would mess with our business model. We believed that people would still pay for something they could get for free.” He believes there has been an 80% drop in the number of UK businesses. “Regulation has killed it a bit too. The age-verification is killing us,” he says.

This excellent article also exposes how many young women REGRET the porn they make, and how callous pornographers are about the women begging to get the porn they were in removed:

“Every two or three weeks we get a call from one of our performers, mainly in the Czech Republic, asking us to remove something. They say ‘My boyfriend will split up with me’ or ‘He has taken my baby away’. Some of them are really, really distressed. It is a horrible part … it is an upsetting part [of the job]. There is nothing we can do. The girls wanted to shoot, we pay them a lot of money … ” he says, flatly.

“We tell them it is going on the internet. We don’t pretend it is for our own consumption. But once a video is on the internet, there is nothing we can do. We have to say to the girls: ‘I’m sorry’. They say: ‘I’ll pay you.’ But there is nothing we can do.”

His response of course is a lie. They COULD accept a fee to remove the content. They’re clearly just too greedy to do so.

Anyway, feel free to bring up this fact to any porn watchers you know — that no matter how enthusiastic a woman in porn looks, (because she is ACTING and being PAID), that it’s entirely likely that she regrets that porn being shot, and would do anything to get it removed. And that anyone watching it is just contributing to the misery and regret of these women.
