We’re here for you.
#NotYourPorn is a UK-based, sex positive movement fighting to protect non consenting adults, sex workers and under 18s from image-based sexual abuse.
People across the globe, just like you, have been impacted by this crime.
Meet Jenny*
She still doesn’t know who or how someone got a hold of her private photos and videos. They were leaked on a folder, and uploaded onto xHamster. That was five years ago, but the content keeps popping back up again and again.
“Finding out I’ve been a victim of revenge porn has happened to me so many times the initial emotions of hurt, fear, anxiety and panic have boiled down over time to just rage. At the start, I was convinced my life was over, contemplated suicide, fell into states of isolation to try and protect myself, and even went so far as to change my name. The idea that a two-second upload for one person can be years of torment for another is devastating.”
Meet Jasmine*
Jasmine is a former sex worker. She had her webcam content recorded and uploaded onto porn sites without her consent.
“I noticed a lot of girls leave the industry (including myself) due to people uploading our private webcam shows onto porn sites without our permission. Some of these sites have no contact details so I can’t get them taken down. Other websites argued with me saying I can’t prove it’s me in the videos and refused to take the videos down. It made me feel so helpless.”
Meet Lucy*
Lucy found multiple videos on Pornhub after someone contacted her to tell her they were there. Although she had it pulled from the site a few days later, the damage had already been done, downloaded hundreds of times and uploaded back to the website the very next day.
“Someone Tweeted me and told me that they had seen a sex tape of me on Pornhub. Then another message came in, and then another. I watched it…the videos were from a long time ago and I thought they were gone. I still don’t know who uploaded them, but I will never forget that feeling finding out. I wanted to pull apart the internet bit by bit. I felt like I couldn’t breathe. I just wanted it all to end. It was so violating, so public, and now because it was uploaded to Pornhub it’s on the internet forever. They didn’t have a right to upload that. The viewers didn’t have a right to comment on it either, but it was so normal for them. It’s totally ruined my life, and I’ll never be the same person because of it.”
