Real world sex and real amateur couples
Cindy Gallop’s Make Love Not Porn is probably one of the better known initiatives in the world of alternative porn. Make Love Not Porn aims to establish more of what Cindy Gallop calls “Real World Sex” in the porn industry. On their website, which was created in 2009, amateurs make their content available and receive half of the income generated. Particular emphasis is placed on authenticity, real stories, fun in the process, and unadorned and uncut videos. Real amateurs are at work here. A kind of social network to share sex tapes.

On Set
The Make Love Not Porn videos are produced and uploaded by amateurs who are members of the platform. Before uploading, all contributors must verify themselves with two valid ID documents, one of which is a government ID document.
Payment
50% of the profit generated by renting a video goes directly to the performers.
Safer Sex
(STI prevention / testing; access to safer sex supplies)
Safer sex is in the performers’ responsability, since the videos are home-made.
Consent
… regarding practices, upload, shooting partners:
Make Love Not Porn calls on all performers and those who want to be performers to ensure that their Real World Sex Videos are consensual, contextualized and free of porn clichés.
All videos will be fully reviewed by one of the curators before uploading to ensure that these guidelines have been followed and that we only get to see consensual videos.
