I wonder if this only extends to “IRL” porn or if it also extends to things like fanfiction and animations? I guess if the argument is to not promote choking then it makes sense to extend it to all types of porn. But if it’s only about actress welfare then it’s not clear how the law would be applied to types of porn with no actors/actresses.
I’ve read accounts of women who’ve left the porn industry and there’s a lot of fucked up shit that happens in scenes. There’s definitely a non-zero amount of choking scenes in porn that are real choking.
Even people having private and consensual sex untainted by the profit motive practice choking in dangerous ways. There’s absolutely no reason to believe things would be more safe in the porn industry, and a plethora of reasons to believe they’d be worse.
I doubt actresses/actors in porn are actually being asphyxiated.
I’d like to think so, but I’ve been on this planet long enough to know that’s not true. There’s plenty of horrendous stuff on the front page of every tube site. I think there was a study done on this, and the results were bad…
Yeah, I was thinking that the larger production companies might have more safety guardrails on average, but honestly I’m not sure the data would actually back that up.

I would absolutely not stake anything on that. Sexual violence against porn actresses is rampant.

After learning about the whole GirlsDoPorn thing I honestly believe that a lot of the violence against women depicted in porn is real.

I meant that I would expect many actors to be acting rather than actually choking, but I realize that was probably ridiculously optimistic.

I was thinking specifically of professionally produced stuff, but even then I realize that I’m being far too optimistic.
The porn industry is so rampant with abuse I unironically think it should be a crime to consume (unless you can verify what you’re watching isn’t)
