We're going to start the shoot now.

That condom has to
appear like magic!

I've found girls who don't
know anything about anything.

It's OK to let some emotions out.

We don't take advantage of anyone.

You don't have to do anything
you don't want to do.

I don't think girls
really enjoy porn.

So, just to be clear -
he's going to have four testicles?

Yeah.

You are casting off
an entire race of women,

purely down to their skin colour?

I don't really care what people
think, I'm just going to be honest.

That's the problem.

Throughout this experience,
I've realised, you know,

the people you see in porn
videos are real people,

they have their own
motives for doing porn.

And to paint them with this whole,
porn is bad, porn is bad brush,

I think is very unfair.

The mainstream porn
that exists has so many flaws.

I think that it needs
to completely change.

I've learnt about the bad types
of porn that I'll be keeping away

from, but I feel like there is some
sort of room for a little good

type of porn.

I've literally been on
a real roller-coaster,

but I'm very open-minded.

Even though I know
I've seen the darker side.

We have to accept that porn
is a massive part of society now,

and therefore, we need to start
being realistic about the best ways

of changing it.

Anna and I have invited Cameron
along to meet some feminists

who look at how the porn
industry affects wider society.

They're speaking on
the national radio station.

It's like the control room.

I've not really met a lot
of feminists in my life.

It'll be nice to, kind of,
understand their point of view.

HE SPEAKS SPANISH

We got to sit in on a radio
programme where they were talking

about what their kind
of campaigns were.

SHE SPEAKS SPANISH

Hi! Hi! Hello!

Very nice to meet you.

I think there's too
much to talk about,

so, let's have a coffee outside.

Let's move. Have a chat, OK?

Let's go.

They wanted to show us some videos.

These are Public Disgrace videos,
in which a woman is filmed being,

essentially, violated
and humiliated in public.

When it's called Public Disgrace,
it really means public disgrace.

The Public Disgrace
stuff gets filmed here?

Yeah, it's here.

You can see, we are here, right
here. Right here. What the hell?

Is that Rob? Is that Rob Diesel?

It is, isn't it? That is Rob.
That's Rob.

Do you know that man?

Well, he's making Public
Disgrace here in Madrid.

The man in the video was Rob.

Hey, guys, I'm Rob.

I'm the director
and the actor as well.

Rob who was very intimate,
and affectionate, and caring.

Rob who wanted a connection
with the girl he was with.

He was talking about
how professional he is,

and how he cares a
lot for the actresses,

so I'm really shocked to see that.

Even if this is consensual,
do you think that this is ethical,

to make that to a woman in the
middle of the street? No. No.

That's the thing,
even if that is consensual

between that women and that man,
it has wider implications.

How often do you think those kind
of films are being made here?

There is a lot of porn like this.
There is a lot...

Here we are in Plaza de Espana.

And it's a very romantic
place, all the couples

come here, take pictures.

Another Public Disgrace
episode happens right here.

So, this is in this square?

Yeah.
She's a toy, she's an object.

Oh, my God!

He's just grabbed her and dunked
her head into that fountain.

Quite violently.

So, the question is - is this sex?

Far from it.

Because if that was
just a normal couple,

and there were no cameras,
or if it wasn't for porn...

He would be in jail. Yeah.

It is not sex.

It's presented as, "Violence
is sex, and sex is violence."

Watching porn like this
will affect how men think

about, like, the...
Absolutely.

I think, because, in some way,
they are legitimised

by this industry that says that sex
has no limits or boundaries.

People are seeing this from
they're very, very young.

Then they're going to grow up into a
world where they think this is OK.

And it's not just men being
taught that being violent is OK.

It's women being taught
that being abused is OK.

It is not just extreme
and dark side of the porn -

it's the mainstream porn.

We have a problem with sexual
violence in our society,

and we have to fight against that.

For us, it's completely necessary
that men come to this revolution.

The Public Disgrace
videos were horrifying.

He was not even looking
this girl in the eye.

You know, slapping her around,

like, spitting on her,

being horrible.

I can't believe that he
did stuff like that.

We spoke to him all day, you know,
he came across as this really

likeable character that was
just this big teddy bear.

And I feel a bit stupid, actually.

I felt betrayed.

I would love to speak to Rob again,
and just be, like, "What is this?"

I'm kind of apprehensive to see
Rob after what we saw in Madrid.

I think me, Cameron,
and Anna felt very betrayed

after we saw those videos.

So, I'm looking forward
to meeting him again,

with the knowledge we have,
and digging a bit deeper

than we were able to the first time.

I think it's definitely important
to listen to what he has say

cos, you know, we don't know
the circumstances that he was in

when he was filming
those type of videos.

Hello, how are you doing?
Hey, what's up, guys?

On time.

So, when we went to Madrid,
we were speaking with

a group of feminists.

And they were, basically,
explaining this whole type of porn

which I'd never seen before.
Mm-hmm.

Called Public Disgrace.

Yeah, I work for them as well.

For me, that kind of showed a
whole different side to porn.

I have nothing against
what Public Disgrace does.

I like their work as well, actually.

The difference is not that big.

It's the same respect behind it.

They work with girls
that like this kind of sex,

I mean, they're not going to
work with anyone that feels

uncomfortable about it.

It really upset me, because it's
people who are walking past.

Children who are with their parents,
that have no knowledge

that this is going to put
there, there and then.

I know when I shot it,
we were really careful

about having kids around,
or having families around.

One thing that I saw
which shocked me the most,

I think, in the Public Disgrace
videos was the scene where you,

kind of, dragged the girl
by her hair along the floor,

then you, kind of,
dunked her head in the fountain.

So, for me, if you
were watching that,

just in the general public area,
then that would be seen as abuse.

When the camera starts,
it's fiction, it's a movie.

It's a fantasy of
many people, as well.

Even a fantasy of many girls,

so I have nothing against these
kind of productions.

From my perspective...

Yeah.

..I would never want any man
to treat me like that, ever.

The fact that it's depicted
so much in porn worries me

because I'm worried that
young men grow up thinking that

I do want to be treated like that.

Because, in porn, they see
women asking for it,

or not challenging it.

Do you understand, kind of,
why that would worry me?

Yeah, I know what you mean.

But I think that comes
up to common sense.

I don't really see anything
bad in it,

I don't see anything...

..aggressive in it.

I think it's playing with sex,
playing with fantasies,

playing with pleasure.

I know what it was all
about when I took the job,

and I never done anything that
I can't feel proud of doing.

Rob still doesn't feel
like he is responsible

for the societal
implications of porn.

Which does concern me
quite a lot, because,

you know, these are the
people who are producing it.

I think the industry is in a
little bit of denial about it.

I think they are kind of
shunning all these accusations

about how it is impacting people
watching it from an early age.

I think, even if they don't want
the responsibility,

I think it's important
that they accept it and understand

that they do have a responsibility.

Today, we're going to meet a
porn producer called Erika Lust.

She says 40% of her subscribers
are actually women -

which is much higher
than normal mainstream porn.

I don't know how much you
guys know about Erika Lust.

Not loads.

She is, kind of,
a self-proclaimed feminist.

So, I think she would say
that the porn she makes

is quite ethical. Yeah.

What actually is ethical porn?

It is, kind of, painted
as being more female-centric.

But actually, if it's
just about intimacy,

that doesn't necessarily
make it ethical.

That just makes it
a feminine stereotype.

Is that her website?

Yeah, this is her website.

So, the biography is,

"Female provocateur and

"erotic film director, Erika Lust,
is creating a new world

"of indie adult cinema."

It's like a proper film.

If I was trying to masturbate
to this, I'd just get too into it.

My erection would be gone by now.

Hello, guys! Hello.

Let me show you a
little of the office.

In here, we have the web guys.

Over here, operations,
graphic design,

we have press and media,
social media, marketing.

So, in my crew, you will
find lots of women.

In my office, you will
also find lots of women,

because that is extremely important.

Participation.

We did a little Google on you, and,
so, we see that you do pornography

and it's ethical.

But we were just trying
to understand how...

What is it really?

What is ethical?

I had this idea that I wanted
to portray, especially women

and female sexuality,
in a more realistic,

authentic way.

But then, it's also about
having women represented

behind the camera.

I want the female gaze,

I want women to speak up
and say what they want.

What kind of message and values
is the Erika Lust production company

trying to put out there?

Female pleasure,
that is extremely important to me,

because I'm so tired of not
finding it and not seeing it in,

kind of, the online tube porn sites.

I guess, what we're asking you
is, how can we trust you?

I'm not here to tell you,
"Trust me, come to my world,

"take my porn, this is it!"

That's not what I do.

We want you to see
how we make our films,

you know?

What we are doing,
how we are doing it.

And then, that is how you feel,
at the end of the day.

Hello!

So, I'm here with these people to
learn everything about editing.

So, now, I am editing...

We shot it a month ago,
more or less, right?

Yeah, in October.

I mean, it's kind of a
cute story actually, right?

It's a quirky story,
it's about our main character.

And first thing that happens
is that he gets completely surprised

because there are naked
people in this place.

But instead of him looking at
them as if they were strange,

it's them looking at him
as if he is the odd one.

It's really good to see a woman
who just looks like a real,

normal women, as opposed
to this idealised body.

I think it's very important,
and I think that especially many

young women out there want to watch
people that they can relate to.

How do you change the focus
in your films for a female audience?

Obviously, we try to
show female pleasure.

They are not only
there to be fucked.

But then, it's also about the men.

We are not only interested
in their penises.

We want to see, you know,
their arms, their butts,

kind of, how they sweat.

This isn't typical of
the rest of the industry.

It's becoming a thing,
and it's not only me.

We have many more creators
out there, you know?

I do have to remember that this
isn't the norm, at the moment.

No, it's not.
And we've got a long way to go.

You can't force people
to watch this, instead

of the mass-produced porn.

I don't have to force people,

because lots of people want to
watch it, that's the good thing.

I think that Erika Lust
is a vivacious and passionate women

who cares about women,

but personally, I don't believe

that sex should be bought or sold.

I'm not sure that
any pornography could,

intrinsically, be ethical.

I think that what we have
seen today with Erika Lust,

it doesn't really reflect
the industry as a whole.

For a lot of people, this
porn is, kind of, inaccessible,

just purely based
on the price of it.

I think a lot of people, nowadays,
do see porn as just this free thing

that they shouldn't have to pay for.

So, we're going to meet someone
who is a very anti-porn.

Her name is Heather.

Even though, maybe, I'm
more positive towards porn,

I'm going to listen to her,

I'm going to understand
her viewpoint.

Hello.
Hi, guys!

Would you like some coffee?

OK, yes.

I was going to say tea.

So, how would you describe
your opinions on pornography?

I am very critical of pornography.

I think it's a really
serious issue for our time.

Pornography is the very last
thing you should be watching.

It's something that we have to
take account of, that those images,

those pornographic images
are in everybody's heads.

I've come into this experience,

kind of, watching all different
types of porn, to now,

my opinion lies in the fact

that I believe ethical porn
would be better to view.

Would you then say, "OK, we're
going to shut Pornhub down,

"and xHamster, all of
those kind of pornography,

"and we'll just have
the ethical porn."

I think that's as likely as
me saying to a meat-eater,

"We should ban the meat
industry completely,

"but you can have tofu."

It isn't going to happen.

So, do you believe that
all porn is detrimental,

or can some forms of
pornography be liberating?

All pornography is detrimental.

I 100% disagree with you.

Like, you don't see
people killing people

after they watch an action film,

you shouldn't rape people
if you see rape porn.

The increase of pornography has
not decreased sexual violence.

Is that a fact, though?

It's absolutely a fact.

You may not like it,
but it's absolutely a fact -

it has not decreased it.

With you saying that,
kind of, in your opinion,

the world would be a better
place if porn was banned,

don't you feel...?

She didn't say that.

I didn't say that.

That's the vibe I get from you.

This, I have to say, is
classic response from somebody

who hears that what I'm doing is
telling you off

for your pornography use

and that I want to take it off you.

Mm.

Actually, the justification
for that is really quite selfish.

Your pleasure is part of a whole
larger structural system,

in which women are sacrificed.

But I just feel,
like, the world would,

kind of, crumble without porn.

This is such a terrible
indictment of masculinity.

So, do you think that the best way
of achieving

a less pornographic society is
through increasing education,

because people are
convinced that they need porn?

Young people grow up with
this ridiculous idea

that porn is an educational tool.

There's nothing educational
about pornography,

I mean, there is only a certain
amount of things that people

can do with their bodies.

I feel like everyone's learnt a lot

from you coming and
speaking to us today.

Heather was absolutely great.

I think she did a really
good job of, you know,

trying to get through to some people

who absolutely would not listen
to her in other circumstances.

I feel like she's the type of person

where she's adamant
that she's right.

I feel that, yes, she came up
with a few good points,

and she, kind of, left me
with a lot to think about.

And...I put a lot of
things in perspective.

We're going to meet a couple
called Eze and Jowy.

They are just ordinary people

making their own porn videos
and uploading them.

I'm really keen to find out
if this is a more healthy

alternative for porn.

Hello, welcome.
Hi!

Come through.

I love home-made pornos.

I make a lot of them at home
for my own pleasure.

But how did you go from making
home-made pornos to actually feel

confident enough to put
it on the internet

to share it with everyone else?

Wow.

Cool.

Hey!

When you do BDSM, is one
particular person a sub,

or a dom, or a switch,
or do you sort of...?

Yeah, that's good.

I think this is sick.

I love the fact that they're
switching up the roles...

Yeah.
..and he is getting tied up.

What do you think?
That's beautiful.

Yeah, it was beautiful.

I think it gives it a really
nice extra dynamic that maybe

the more hardcore videos
aren't non-consensual,

and everyone is safe
during your, kind of, sessions.

Do you think this is the future
of what porn should be?

It was hot, man,
it was really intimate,

it was a really intense.

And, I actually got
turned on a little bit,

which is mad, because I've not
really got that turned on throughout

this whole experience.

I think, you know, when a
couple has sex and uploads it -

I really can't see
any issue with that.

I think it's the most ethical
type of porn you can get.

Moving forward,
I think it could be the,

kind of, future of ethical porn.

Throughout this whole journey,

I've been hoping for a,

kind of, revolution in porn.

Today, we're going to get the
opportunity to script our own

porn film, which, obviously,
is something that I've never done

or even thought of doing before.

Hi! Hello.

How are you? Are you OK?
Fine, thank you.

Oh, amazing!

All over this.

All over this.

We can discuss about what's
going on with our next movie,

and we will film it.

I think we should,
maybe, for the story,

focus on the man's pleasure
and the woman's pleasure,

and display them both as sexual
and confident individuals.

Because, the studio
is looking a lot like a,

kind of like a home, we could have

it as one of the
couples lives there,

and then, the other two
have come for dinner.

I've got a good idea.
This is an Airbnb, right?

And both couples have
booked this Airbnb.

So, when they get there,
they're both like,

"No, we've booked this."
"No, no, no, we've booked this."

Yeah?

And then they, like,
make use of that time,

and then that's how it gets into it.

Boom.

Yeah, I don't really feel

like it's that different

to conventional porn.

I think the dynamics of
each couple is important,

and also, focusing on
not just the female,

but also the male sexuality,

and the male's body,

to display a varied and equal amount
of attention on both people.

What?
Oh, my God.

All over that.

I'm free, I'm definitely free.

You're free. OK, cool.

I felt quite apprehensive

because I didn't really
want to be involved

in shooting a porn film.

We'll see you tomorrow.
Thank you.

Bye. Thank you.

I wanted the group to know
that the Towanda Rebels

had actually invited all of us
to go to a march tomorrow.

So now, everyone has
a big choice to make.

I'm going to be going to Madrid
tomorrow to join the protest,

protesting violence
against women and pornography.

The Towanda Rebels have said that
everybody is more than welcome.

But if you want to go and
make the film with Irina,

then that's completely up to you.

I'm happy to stay here
and be a part of, kind of...

..putting my influence
into creating porn.

I want to leave it on an upbeat
note, where I can still feel

like I'm changing things,
and not listening to things

that need to be changed. Yeah.

Absolutely.
I'll march for the both of us.

Thank you! I'd like to
join in the march. Thanks.

I think, for me, the most important
thing is for men like myself

to show solidarity with feminism,

and, kind of,
represent people like me.

To show that it is OK
to be a feminist.

I'm crying!

Oh, Cam!

I think that's sick, mate, honestly.

I honestly think that's beautiful.

Yeah, for me, it's a no-brainer,

I definitely want to
go to the march,

to show solidarity with
violence against women.

Oh, my God, this is
actually really hard!

I want to make something different,
and I think this is a good

opportunity for me to do.

So, I love and respect
that you guys are marching,

but, yeah, I think I want
to be a part of that. Cool.

For me, this is a very
difficult decision,

but me, Drew and Ryan
are going to go ahead and make sure

this alternative porno
that we've put together

is executed exactly as the
words say, alternative porno,

and not a normal mainstream video.

I've come on this journey and seen
so many bad experiences

and the evil side of porn.

This is my last chance now to, kind
of, make some good type of porn.

So, we had a farewell
dinner tonight.

What was special for me was the
fact that everybody acknowledged

that through speaking
to other people

and listening to
other people's views,

their own ideologies had shifted.

So, what is everyone thinking
about porn now, then?

I think the best bit for me
of this whole experience,

was actually being introduced
to the world of gay porn.

Coming out of it, it made me
feel really happy about myself,

that I could be
introduced into that world

and I was still able to just sit
there, you know,

and feel fully OK with it.

I think that sex is beautiful,

and I think that a lot of the people
are beautiful individuals.

But the industry
is dark in many ways.

And I've just felt
this constant conflict.

So, Nariece, at the start of the
trip, we had...

"I really want to be
a porn star, you know."

To, "You know what, I don't
want to be a porn star."

And it was like a yo-yo, like,
does she want to be a porn star,

or, does she not want
to be a porn star?

So, can you please answer that?
Do you want to be a porn star today?

No, Drew, I definitely do
not want to be a porn star,

OK? OK, great.

If I become a porn star,

I've learnt during this trip,

you will be defined as a porn star,

you won't be able to do much.

Sex doesn't own me,
porn doesn't own me,

I own me.

I personally feel, like,
we can teach people

about sex in other ways,

it doesn't have to be through porn.

And creating a society
which is dependent on porn

isn't very good.

So, after this journey, Ryan,
what's your opinion on porn?

Coming into this, like, it, kind of,

disgusts me, in a way,
the way I thought.

Coming into here, kind of,

spending half my
life following porn stars

and chatting to porn stars.

And I'm just, like, meeting
everyone and, kind of,

the experiences, and learning a bit
more about people and understanding

them for their feelings, and
understanding them for their...

Sorry. It's all right.

Fucking hell.
It's all right.

I feel like I've learnt
so much about myself.

Do you think that's
the end of porn fan Ryan?

I think so, yeah.

I'm not the easiest
person to be around.

I were a bit of an idiot before.

And it's amazing
to have been a part of this,

and meet these amazing people.

I actually can't wait
today to go help Irina.

So, today is the final day,

and I'm on my way to make a porno.

And I am absolutely
buzzing to be a part of it.

I really, really don't
want to create, like,

a mainstream, typical porn product

because I think that would be
a discredit to everyone we've met,

and a discredit to the kind
of journey we've all been on.

Are we missing someone?

OK, the show must go on, though.

So, we want to understand
your guys' boundaries,

what you feel comfortable doing.

We really want to get to know
you guys before you actually

do the performance.

So, basically, today,
you're not our props,

you're people, to us.

We'd planned this whole scene
where there was two couples,

and they were going
to have like a consensual,

cool foursome that would,
kind of, challenge perceptions

of men and women.

But one of the guys didn't turn up,
so, we were stuck with a guy

and two girls.

How are you going to make that,
kind of, out there?

It's very classic - "Oh, yeah,
two girls and a guy in bed."

What about if Liz and
Sylvan both, like,

come in and are getting
to know the city.

Liz and Sylvan could both say
that - "We're a bisexual couple,

"we're both bisexual,
we're here for, like..."

fun or whatever.

Whatever we decide, we should
always include the actresses

and actors - so you go ahead
and find out what they think.

OK, I will do.

OK, girls, come on,
let's do make-up.

We want to, like, really make sure
you guys are feeling comfortable.

So, I just wanted to know -
what are your boundaries,

can I help you feel
any more comfortable?

LAUGHTER

Oh, really?

That sounds very mechanical.

Yeah.

Oh, really?

"Hands off the nipples."

We've learnt a lot about performers,
and ones that have been treated bad,

and ones who have had a
good experience. Mm-hmm.

Would you say your experience
in the porn industry

has been very positive?

Well, it's...

..almost positive,

but I worked with this producer

who has peed on me...
He weed on you?

He peed on me. A producer? Yeah!

He asked at the start and I said,
"No, I don't do peeing."

And he said, "Oh, we can
fake it with apple juice",

and I was, like, "OK."

And he put apple juice in my
mouth and peed on me here.

I was so mad at him!

So, I've just been given this.

I'm going to start off getting
some behind-the-scenes images.

And then once we start,
I'm going to start getting

the right angles and...

This is my big moment, yeah, like,
"Look, Mum, look what I'm doing."

Today, we're going on
the march in Madrid,

fighting violence against women.

And making signs and banners
that we're going to hold

whilst protesting.

I think I'm going to go with,

"I march with women everywhere."

I think that the violence
depicted in porn,

and the way porn represents women,

is something that needs to change.

I'm going to say,
"Feminism is for everyone."

Aw, yes!

Caring about the treatment
towards women in the porn industry

isn't something to be afraid of,

and is not something that
affects anybody's masculinity.

Everyone ready?
Let's do it. Yay! Yeah?

THEY CHANT

Hey!
How are you?

What are they saying about porn?

"Pornography is going to fall,
it's going to fall!"

Oh, so we're
falling, like porn?

Rise!

I'm so glad that we came here today.

Fighting for change in porn,
from the outside,

I think is so important.

Yeah, I definitely think
we made the right decision.

A lot of porn users,
I think, use porn very loosely.

And they never even think
about the implications it has.

I hope your journey
inspires lots of men,

who probably just don't
give it a second thought.

Yeah.

Me being quite new into this
movement, it was really amazing,

actually, to be able to, you know,
just stand with them in solidarity

and really, kind of,
stand up for what we believe in.

To see all these women, and
men, of all ages, coming out

on the streets of Madrid to say,
"No, we will not tolerate this,

"you will not abuse
women in this way,"

was just a really...

..empowering and perfect way
for me to finish this trip.

I'm excited. I hope it goes well.

Ready to go. Action!

Hello, guys.

Welcome to your new flat.

Come with me, I want to show
you this amazing flat.

Action.

Is there a possibility that
someone can show us some places?

Because we are interested
more in the night lifestyle.

Ah, I think I know what you mean.

Like, a swingers' club?

Yeah, that's pretty much it.

Ah, you could say it like this!

They're concentrating it
on the story, but it's still very...

..mainstream porn.

Personally, I don't really feel
like we've been putting in anything.

I think we should just roll with it,

and try and get our point
across as, like, all...

As much as we can, that's it.
It's all we can do.

Try and influence the way
it's filmed, show bisexuality

in a diverse, nice way. At least,
if we get one point across,

and it actually gets implemented...

Yeah, that's it. I think
that's all we can do, really.

MOANING

Is there going to be
anything do with the girls,

and exploring your sexuality?

Mm-hmm.

I want one girl to be licking him,
while he's licking one girl -

that's fair.
Did you say that?

Yeah, I said that, he
said they're doing it. OK.

I can't believe I came here
instead of doing something else.

The only thing alternative
is the girls have got tattoos.

I never thought I'd be so unaroused

by mainstream pornography
after going on this journey,

but I really am.

So, how did it go?

I think it went good.
Yeah?

Do you feel that your sexuality
got explored in the bedroom?

I would have preferred,
like, a little bit more soft...

a little bit of everything.

Because, for example, for me,
kissing is super-important,

and I thought... There was
too much tongue, not kissing.

Exactly.

Thank you, I'm glad you agree.

It wasn't lip with lip,
it was more like...

It was more like mainstream.
Exactly.

We didn't get as much creative
freedom as we would have liked.

There was some points where I was
like, "Oh, that's a bit fake."

Like, the girls' orgasms - fake.

The way they were going down on
each other at times - fake.

I'm kind of left thinking,
"You can't really win with porn."

I gave porn one last chance,

and today just made me feel even

worse about how I felt before.

It needed to be more sensual,

the actors needed a little bit
of chemistry,

that, kind of, never
came into place.

And that's why it was just
a normal, mainstream porn video.

I think alternative porn
has got a long way to go.

And the fact that all three of us -
Drew, Ryan, and myself -

we all agreed, this is not
alternative porn,

this is mainstream,
was the most empowering feeling

I've had most of the day.

I've seen sex every
day for two weeks.

I'm not planning on watching
porn in a long time.

But, when I do, I think that
I'll be mixing it up a little bit

and maybe seeking out
more ethical forms of porn,

because, I think I've realised I get
turned on more by real connections.

So, I'm switching up my habits,

but I'm probably still
going to watch porn.

I wouldn't say I've banned
porn from my lifestyle.

I've learned it's a tool
that I can pick up and put down.

Porn can be implemented
in a positive way,

but, I also believe it
has a long way to come.

The main thing that I've
learned about the industry

is that it's pretty cruel.

When I get home, I don't think
I'll be watching porn for a while.

I feel like I've just been
on a massive learning curve.

I'm happy to put that energy
that I would use in porn

onto something positive,
rather than hiding,

watching porn - like a weirdo.

I think, logically,
the idea of filming,

or watching two consenting
adults having sex is OK.

But in a wider context, porn,

definitively, to me, is not OK.

Because it reflects, and shapes,
societal attitudes towards women,

which, at the moment, are harmful.

I personally don't want to
call for an end to porn.

But I think that there needs
to be a complete revolution

in the porn industry
towards something

that's ethically made,
representative of

the people watching it,
and what they do.

For the porn industry to change,

it really needs to come
from the ground,

and it needs to come
from people like myself,

to, kind of, learn more about
it and realise the implications

that the porn they're
watching does have, you know,

on society.

This is a big issue,
and that starts from consumers.
