LOS ANGELES — Video footage from the MindBrowse.com discussion “Ethical Porn in Practice” is now available on Ethical.porn.
The event, produced by Sssh.com’s Angie Rowntree, was held on Tuesday, Jan. 16, as part of the2018 XBIZ Show event series and broadcast live via Periscope on Twitter at @ssshforwomen to 4,700 viewers.
In addition to a packed audience, discussion participants included Casey Calvert, performer and custom video producer; Kristel Penn, Grooby’s marketing and editorial director and owner of Ikigai Marketing; Lily Campbell, lead director of YanksVR.com and Yanks.com; Venus Lux, owner of Venus Lux Entertainment Inc.; Fran Marquez, vice president of operations for Rodney Moore and Transational Fantasies; Siouxsie Q. James, author, performer and activist; performer Michael Vegas; and Janice Griffith, performer, writer, and Spankchain.com associate.
The event’s innovative circle setup eschewed traditional expert-panelist vibes, fostering instead a more egalitarian discussion of complex issues. This included discussion of what constitutes ethical in practice, as well as within the context of our constantly evolving social landscape.
The event was moderated and co-organized by sociologist Dr. Chauntelle Tibbals.
“My only regret was that we were not able to touch on the second and third questions I had prepared for the event,” Tibbals explained. “They were, ‘what are more finite and immediate efforts we can engage,’ and ‘what are larger big picture changes we can tackle?’”
“This is often where events seeking to unpack significant social issues fall off. We are able to engage what’s wrong, but we often run out of time before even discussing potential solutions and courses of action,” Tibbals added. “This is why we need to make a concerted effort to continue these efforts towards addressing issues of ethics in adult content production.”
