Some advocates for sex- and female-positive porn find themselves disappointed with Kink.com's latest gimmick.
Up-and-coming porn star Nikki Blue says she wants to lose her virginity live on The Upper Floor, and Kink.com will oblige. A "hymen cam" will be inserted into Blue's vagina to "prove" she's a virgin before fans vote on who will deflower her.
The lucky contestants? Porn stars Mark Davis, Jack Hammer and James Deen.
Says founder Peter Ackworth, “We strive each and every day to bring the best possible content to our customers and sacrificing Nikki’s innocence is in perfect alignment with what our fans expect and deserve.”
But Blue's “sacrificed innocence” isn't what's bothering critics. Blowback stems from how Kink.com worded their press release. Some feel the press release perpetuates a few myths about virginity and the vagina, and are disappointed that a normally progressive company has stooped to mainstream porn tactics to make a quick buck.
Hopeful eyes are on the company in anticipation of how the event will be handled. Perhaps Kink.com will redeem itself, yet.

I made a thread about this on the forums [https://www.edenfantasys.com/sex-forum/adult-dvds/the-erotica-egress/what-do-you-think-of/] and although I'm not convinced this is being done in 100% good faith the CEO has responded and has changed some of the marketing materials to something a bit more in line with sex positive values. That is honestly more then I was expecting so I'm going to give them the benfit of the doubt till I see how the event is actually handled.
By all accounts, it's going to be very ritualistic to suit their fans. We'll see, though, I guess.
Whatever happened with this? Don't you have to be a member to see the footage?
Kink is a site that largely has porn in which women are tied up and gang raped, forced to perform oral sex against their will as men call them dirty whores. And you're offended that they're take on virginity isn't very feminist? How is this surprising to anyone who knows anything about kink?
