Gone are the days of sheepishly requesting a dirty magazine at the newspaper stand or sneaking into a dodgy sex cinema. Nowadays we may find (almost) everything online, 24/7, without age verification and most of the time for free. For some people it may sound progressive, others find it dangerous.
We have 6 reasons why it is important to pay for pornographic content.
1. More Ethical Working Conditions
First and foremost, by supporting independent creators and smaller platforms, you help ensure that the content you are consuming is fairly produced. It’s a misconception that porn is inherently misogynistic or exploitative, but sadly the working conditions of mainstream porn production companies can often be exactly that. Performers may be pressured into acts they didn’t agree to in the first place. Some are even underage. Smaller-scale porn is more likely to involve consenting parties, which makes it hotter to watch by default. Who isn’t into looking on when people are visibly into what (and whom) they are doing? Although chemistry may exist in the amateur section of large free porn platforms, these sites still host ethically questionable content, such as material stolen from paid platforms or placed there without the consent of those involved.
2. A Better Aesthetic Experience
Let’s be real: large porn platforms can often give off quite a shady vibe, to the point of spoiling the mood! The ads and pop-ups are a nightmare straight from the 90’s Internet. At CHEEX, we will give you an experience that’s much easier on the eyes, both in terms of content and its surroundings. Call it “female-friendly” if you wish, but I think everyone deserves to enjoy sensual content in an aesthetic way. No need to delete your browser history after using this one!
3. More Variety for the Senses
According to the old myth, men are more visually stimulated, and women must be turned on through all the other senses. The reality is more complicated, but for any gender, adding variety can be quite exciting. Audio porn is different from just listening to regular porn in that it is made for your ears right from the start. Without visual input, the imagination has to be stimulated in many different ways. Think of it as putting on a blindfold; the visual deprivation can heighten all the other senses. A steamy story whispered into your ear feels very intimate and almost like the real thing. So grab some headphones and check out our audio stories.
4. More Realistic Porn
You may ask, “Isn’t porn supposed to show fantasies and desires?” Well, it isn’t usually meant to be a fully accurate depiction of what sex looks like (unless it’s a tutorial), and even independent productions involve some degree of acting, editing and post-production. What sets this kind of porn apart is its creative approach that goes beyond the predictable mainstream script of “blowjob, penetration, cumshot, the end”.
Independent porn offers diversity in body types, potentially some resembling your own, engaging in activities that you know from your bedroom or could imagine happening there. This relatability might help you get off more easily. Over time, exposure to various body types fosters comfort in your own skin, free from constant confrontations with some unattainable, surgically enhanced ideal.
And of course, there is more space for realistic queer sexuality in independent porn—not as some fetishised categories, but as genuine depictions of actual people having some fun, hot sex.
5. A Greater Degree of Exploration
I firmly believe that everyone has some form of kink, no matter how small or how deeply hidden, and exploring that can be very eye-opening.
The porn categories help organise it into things you may want to check out, from A for anal to Z for…er, zentai? That said, sometimes the problem is that you don’t know exactly what you are looking for! It could be a particular mood, ranging from soft to rough, or an aesthetic preference, such as natural or glossy, rather than a specific act. Besides, how are you going to venture into the unknown if you only ever go for the things that you already know you’re into? At CHEEX, we embrace a more open-ended approach, which can help you explore and uncover turn-ons that might surprise you at first but are sure to enrich your sex life, whether solo or partnered.
6. More Content Catered to Your Taste
Speaking of kinks and preferences, smaller platforms make it easier to find something that floats your boat. The selection is already curated; say goodbye to clicking through fifty pages of search results looking for a video worth getting off to! Some sites even offer creators the opportunity to produce custom content tailored to their desires for an additional charge. This way, you can support independent porn creators while turning your fantasies into reality—a win-win situation for all parties involved. But even if personalisation isn’t your thing, you can still enjoy all the other benefits of high-quality porn by investing in it—a small price to pay, equivalent to a box of premium condoms each month.
