Cyberspace – Adult performer Eva Lovia has written a timely and thought provoking essay wherein she asserts “Ethical porn — This can be the norm.”

“It is time we removed the blinders and really dive into what is ethical porn, is it possible, and how we can ensure it’s survival,” Lovia wrote.

Lovia offered her conceptualization of ethical porn — content that is produced with consent by all parties, where all the performers are happy, excited, and not pressured into doing acts they may not be comfortable with, and where saying “no” doesn’t get you labeled as “difficult” or a “diva.”

She also called upon women in the industry to support performers who may be struggling: “[S]ome are not as bold, confident, or brave to speak up, so if you see something, say something,” she asserted.

Lovia is an advocate of women’s sexual empowerment and her activism shows in her work, as well as in her statement. “If performers could band together and no longer tolerate bad behavior, we could have a future where ethical porn was the norm not the exception as it currently is,” she wrote.

“Eva’s candid and insightful observations regarding ethical content production and on-set behavior are invaluable,” shared Ethical.porn founder and Sssh.com’s award-winning director and producer Angie Rowntree. “Eva lets us know that we all have a role and responsibility in creating ethical content and contributing to performer safety. We are very pleased to share this thought-provoking piece.”
