Anti-porn activism: ur doin it wrong
Anti-porn activists think they're helping people, but who are they really concerned about?
If you're not following us on Instagram yet, you should be: http://www.instagram.com/afteradult
Why do we only seem to hear from ex-porn stars who have negative things to say about the industry? There's a *lot* to unpack around this topic, so we break it down into three broad categories: opposition for religious reasons, opposition for nonreligious ethical reasons, and Adrienne's personal least favorite, anti-porn feminism.
Rachel and Adrienne discuss porn addiction, drug use in the porn industry, STD/STI risk and the performer testing system, violence in porn, the passage of FOSTA/SESTA (see links below) and more.
Anti-porn organizations/websites we discuss:
- www.antipornography.org: use caution when visiting this one, because the late 90s Geocities vibes might just give you an aneurism if, like Adrienne, you can’t handle ugly websites.
- Fight the New Drug: https://fightthenewdrug.org
- Jesus Loves Porn Stars/XXX Church: https://www.xxxchurch.com/theindustry
- Shelley Lubben’s Pink Cross Foundation, which closed in 2016: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelley_Lubben
