What are your ethical standards for yourself in the industry?
 

So this is a topic that comes up in conversation pretty randomly with folks in the industry and outside. I?m curious as members of the adult industry where you draw a line with moral convictions/ethics, IE where you say ?I won?t be associated or support XYZ no matter how much money I could make.?

Morals, ethics? Who the hell has them anymore now-a-days? :1orglaugh

i do - crazy, ain't it?

lol at my vote

funny and ironic on so many levels.

Ironic if you can prove it...

Well you forgot option " I dont do any of those things, im actually a very clean webmaster". :Oh crap

So in any event, I didnt vote.

I swear nowadays people think you have to push the limits just to make money, thats far from true.


EDIT** OOOPS. lol, missed the whole "NOT" in the poll wording. My bad.

:1orglaugh:1orglaughi read this wrong

Ha, I was going to say, I think you would then select all of them except the last one.

Get the list of the mobile gallery links I sent over yesterday?

great poll ali

I really wanted to be that guy that had ethics, but I no longer give a shit and will do whatever I feel is necessary to make money. I posted this a few days ago and I think it bears repeating one more time...

The porn I do promote is pretty much micro niche, and I have an outsourced worker that I use to send DMCA's to sites when he finds content of the niches I am promoting.

Last night he showed me a site that is full of stolen content, directbigboobs.net, that I figured was monetizing with the usual Brazzers ads. But when I looked at the site I also saw straight affiliate banners for Score Cash, Fuck You Cash, and Reality Cash. That is when I officially decided I no longer give a fuck. If those three big programs don't care what kind of traffic they take, I no longer give a fuck what sleazy shit I have to do to make money, either.

And before anyone starts with the "did you contact the sponsor" bullshit, yes he did, and he told me he two of the sponsors didn't bother answering him, and one gave him a terse "we'll have legal look into it" response without answering his other questions, and the links to all three programs still work...

I hear ya. We (the industry) have always talked a big game as an industry as a whole against this or that, but when it comes to people putting money where their mouth is it's a different story and as long as there seems to be 0 consequence, I think a lot of people think like you do.

I won't be involved in underage/rape bullshit.

:1orglaugh that's funny cause it's true

it's called 'Situational Ethics' and it changes for people depending on the situation. Also what people say vs. what they do are two different things.

The priest that spouts out sermons decrying porn, yet has his secret stash has situational ethics and morals. Many (most) people on this board do also. When it comes to money, people work more in the grey areas that they normally wouldn't. Just a simple fact of life.

Agreed. Saying and doing are very different and I think very applicable in our industry.

Sorry if your ethical standards change like the wind then they arent standards and a bigger problem is many companies and people are put under the adult industry umbrella and embraced. Even though they dont have the industries best interest at heart.

I could have tens of millions of dollars lying around right now if only I would have abandoned my ethics.

...actually, just about any of us could.

:thumbsup

Yes! Thank you :)

They are scheduled to go up tonight. :pimp Already had last night planned.

some of those i felt were worded wrong or just off as they had to be answered as yes and no.
take for example this one.
product where the fantasy is borderline dangerous (rape, abuse, shitting into someone’s mouth, etc)
rape would just be acting and a fantasy, not real. abuse is very vague but assuming some choking or slapping, again can be faked or kept safe but just has on screen appearance that comes off harsh.
then you have shitting into someones mouth. not only would that be real and also real dangerous. even if you do not take a shit and say use what i saw yesterday on here being milk. typically a very safe product unless lactose intolerant. though inserted into someones ass and projected into someones mouth just could not be made safe. it is not like anyone could sterlize someones entire lower intestine. sure it may look clean, or lets say the first 8 inches or so look clean. girl douched out her ass or whatever. it would not clean that far up unless she went in for a pretty good hosing out. so that would mean the milk could still reach and mix with actual shit or shit leakage/lubricant. the hosing also would not kill all of the bacteria in her ass. even a small amount of contaimination could result in severe sickness or even death if left untreated.
knowing how well or actually not well that many models treat their health, having one allow what seems like flu like symptoms to go untreated would not be hard to swallow.
death due to drinking milk out of someones asshole on a porn set just would not sit well with me and i am sure others would not, not notice it and throw a fucking fit.

Good question Allison.

I doubt many will own up to the last one though. Not if they know it's a public vote anyway...
