What is ethical porn and why you should care – Spotlight on FrolicMe
When you think of porn you probably have a stereotypical vision in your head. It’s focused on penetration as the main source of pleasure and it’s often unrealistic and the pleasure focus is one-sided. A lot of traditional porn can give unrealistic expectations and is created with a male audience in mind.
That’s when Anna Richards founder of FrolicMe saw an opportunity to create an ethical sex and pleasure platform which is designed with female pleasure at the forefront. The FrolicMe platform has a range of films, erotic stories, galleries, audio porn and online magazine which content is ethically produced, providing a safe place for all to explore the joys of healthy sex.
But what exactly is ethical porn?
Ethical porn is about being inclusive creatively and showing healthy, positive sexual experiences which focus on consent, pleasure and intimacy. When consuming content from the FrolicMe website you can rest assured that the cast are fairly compensated and looked after and that the style of content you are watching shows a positive experience for all involved.
With some porn platforms, in particular if there is no paywall then you have no securities or good faith that the content has been made ethically, from the payment the cast have received to the way that they are portrayed online.
Porn can be a healthy and fun addition to your sex life when done right. The content that you see on FrolicMe has a realistic depiction of sex from body types, relationships to equal pleasure. What you consume on the platform is a much more realistic display of what sex actually looks like (we all know that no one instantly gets off from penetration alone).
How do I know what’s ethical?
There are several factors for ethical porn, the more obvious one is the content, does it feature acts or graphics which are realistic, and a healthy depiction of what sex is? You also want to know how the cast are being treated on set. One thing to watch out for is how are you consuming the content, it is free for example? The benefits of paying for a subscription means you know that everyone is getting paid. Quality of content and how you are consuming it are key factors, you can read a full guide this ethical porn guide here for more information.
Why a focus on female pleasure?
“For me, couples' erotica is about the beauty of fantasy and engaging in people’s sexual fantasies for their own personal pleasure. My desire has been to create and produce sensual erotica for women. Elegant, tasteful and arousing films together with erotic stories and an elegant erotic photography gallery that women and couples would find acceptable and pleasurable” Anna Richards, founder
We’ve all heard of the orgasm gap, right? For those not in the know the orgasm gap comes from a 1994 US study which showcased that in heterosexual relationships 75% of men orgasm with their spouse, which decreased to just 29% of women. So, we can agree that there is an uneven balance when it comes to pleasure, which is mainly down to female pleasure traditionally not being celebrated. This is where Je Joue and FrolicMe align- all types of pleasure should be celebrated.
Creating content which focuses on female pleasure helps to decrease that gap. With focuses on intimacy, foreplay and passion. There is a wide selection of stories from self-pleasure, to passionate couples sex (including a variety of couples), all designed for your arousal with beautiful story-telling and realistic sexual experiences.
Ok so does ethical mean less fun?
“Just because we have morals doesn’t mean we can’t be kinky and downright filthy. Explore all your favourite sexual fantasies from anal, threesomes, bondage, masturbation, and double penetration, you dream it up there will be an ethical female-directed porn producer who has made it to turn you on.” Anna Richards, founder
