“The systems of patriarchy are really threatened by sexual liberation, especially female sexual liberation.”

Role: Pornographic Actress, Model and Writer
The porn industry is estimated to be worth around $97 billion, 25% of all internet searches are porn related, and 98% of men and 78% of women watch porn. So why is such a huge industry consumed by such a large percentage of the population viewed with so much stigma?
People working in the industry face a constant battle with financial censorship. Banks regularly close accounts, credit cards are often rejected, and payment processors can be hard to come by. From financial censorship to a lack of regulations, sex workers are exploited and abused, despite being an industry which is entirely legal in the majority of countries.
In this interview, I talk to pornographic actress, model and writer Stoya. We discuss what it is like to work in the porn industry, the stigma & discrimination in the sex industry, how it affects her outside life and financial censorship.
