You already know that you should be paying for your porn as the most ethical consumption model. And if you have some Bitcoin burning a hole in your digital wallet and want to use it to fund your special, private moments, there’s good news: That’s totally possible. Not only possible, but recommended. Here’s how to pay for porn in cryptocurrency, and why you should.
Which porn sites allow cryptocurrency payments?
More porn sites allow crypto payments than you’d think. You can fund your premium Pornhub membership with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, which is true for its sister sites Brazzers and Nutaku, too. Try Verge, Tron, or Horizen. Porn.com also accepts Bitcoin for its streaming services. For a fee, you can watch your content in high definition with no ads.
Cam sites, too, allow crypto payments, if you’re looking for a little interaction. Livejasmin allows you to pay and tip in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies; the same goes for XLoveCam and Chaturbate.
Playboy Plus has integrated Bitpay as a payment option for Bitcoin, too, giving users access to a variety of categories, high definition videos and more.
Why it’s a good idea to use cryptocurrency when you’re paying for porn
This isn’t a new approach: Cryptocurrency has always been a disruptor, and adult models and companies know all about disruption and thriving without societal acceptance.
“Years before everyone and their mother was buying crypto, the porn industry accepted cryptocurrencies,” said adult actress Cherie DeVille, who has written on the topic. She pointed out that banks regularly stop working with legal adult businesses, and credit card companies can dole out regulations that unfairly impact business decision-making. (The ability of financial institutions to meddle in the business affairs of adult entertainers is well-documented and extremely detrimental to them.)
“Hollywood can put whatever they want on screen, but Porn Valley is not so lucky. For this reason, we are always looking to diversify. Years ago, MindGeek assets adopted crypto as an alternative means of payment,” DeVille recalled. “Today, many major porn companies accept everything from Ethereum to Litecoin. Most sites allowing crypto allow for wallet-to-wallet payment, which is fully protected on the blockchain.”
Why you should get started now
Like everything to do with cryptocurrency, you want to get involved with this as soon as possible. It continues to grow and expand, and you should get in on the ground floor, not least of all because it’s the right thing to do for the actors, producers, and crew members whose content you’re consuming.
“Every day, crypto is becoming a bigger part of the porn business,” said DeVille. “I’m currently working on an NFT project which will launch soon and involve cryptocurrencies. Like many adult performers, I’m adaptable. Porn stars will find a new way to make money, and crypto is our latest payment system. As long as men continue to jack off, we will look into new payments.”
