I still have no idea what the company does. "A user-generated digital marketplace trying to “normalize” real sex"?

I gave up and checked out their website. It's an "amateur" for-pay clip site (that claims to specialize in "genuine" sex) that does revenue sharing back to the users, according to the various claims I could see in 30 seconds of poking around.

  The site's main idea seems to hinge on a very narrow definition of "porn". It offers sex video clips intended to arouse the audience -- I'm not sure what else to call that but pornographic. It tries to keep a niche focus on "realistic" content produced by amateurs but considering most real sex doesn't translate well to video, I'm guessing it'll eventually be either just another low-quality amateur clip site or sacrifice authenticity for production quality and become a generic "for women" porn site. For context, here is what distinguishes "porn" from "real sex" according to the website (obviously this list is not intended to be exhaustive): * coming on women's faces * no "hair down there" * no foreplay * no clitoral stimulation * all women love anal * dirty talk I'm willing to wager creating porn without these qualifiers isn't a novel idea and that there are already existing websites offering that. None of these seem necessary or sufficient to distinguish between porn and "real sex" videos.

  Wow, that is so ridiculous. I was wondering what it was too. So, this is really about people drawing weird boundaries around what they find acceptable and labeling whatever's outside the boundary "porn". Mmm, so progressive. Much of what is called "sex positivity" strikes me as suspicious for similar reasons.

    Back in the 1990s, VHS tapes of porn had a label explaining that this was educational materials for married couples, not porn.

I was really waiting for them to explain in the article. It's like, no one understands what they do and you won't either cause we're not telling!
