From quality to salary. There are many practical reasons to pay for porn. Which is why, even with an internet full of free porn, I think paying for it still has its benefits!
Reason 1: Higher Quality Products
Paid porn is usually higher quality in video resolution as well as execution.
The porn on these sites usually allow up to 4k streaming resolutions. With some slowly adding even 8k.
When it comes to the porn itself. A lot of paid porn focuses on attractive camera angles, authentic looking performances and what will look good in front of the camera. Making for a more pleasurable viewing experience.
Reason 2: You Get More of What You Want
If you know what you like, and what you want. Paying for porn is an easy way to get more of that. Sometimes creators will even ask for suggestions for videos, then your fantasy might become a reality.
When it comes to niche kinks, paying is the way to go. But, paying in general will get you more of what you want and less of what you don’t.
Reason 3: It Supports the Performers/Makers
Making money off of porn is difficult. Because of the stigma around the sex industry, not a lot of companies want to sponsor, or run ads on porn videos.
This leads to a limited amount of ways to make money off of adult content.
By paying for porn (assuming it’s ethical in all ways), you ensure that all the models and others involved will get paid fairly. You also make sure that they are compensated enough to make a new flick.
Paying for porn produced by studios can be a convenient option for many because of their wide range of videos. But, It’s important to be wary of these companies. Because even known “feminist” brands like xconfessions have been known to violate their actors.
Sites like only fans are safer bets because usually the performer is making & posting the content.
A quick rule of thumb is, the less people involved with making it, the safer it is. This isn’t to say sites like only fans do not have similar issues as studios, it’s just less likely with solo creators.
Final Thoughts
Paying for porn, is like paying for anything else. If you want to keep it around, it’s important to support it. It can help with ethics, but it doesn’t guarantee it. That’s up to whoever is managing the money. It grants you high quality unique content, with a higher chance of supporting those involved.
