This is a naive viewpoint - everyone knows that "amateur" at the moment is often completely fake, and just another genre that porn companies cater for with completely fake videos.


From Wikipedia:

> Amateur pornography is a category of pornography that features models or actors performing without pay, or for whom this material is their first or only paid modeling work. Reality pornography is professionally made porn which seeks to emulate the style of amateur pornography. Amateur porn has been called one of the most profitable and long-lasting genres of pornography.

There sure is a lot of fake amateur porn but there's also tons of authentic amateur stuff out there (whatever that means). This genre isn't novel at all despite what this woman would like us to believe. Also, she is apparently going to pay people to post videos which makes it not so clear whether it falls under the amateur label.


And what's to stop this site from becoming fake "amateur"?


All the #realworldsex videos submitted to mlnp.tv are curated before they go live on the site. What that means to me is that I watch all the content to make sure that the people in the video are engaging in #realworldsex that is consensual and that they aren't simply replicating porn cliches (certain angles, positions) simply for the sake of it. If I suspect that a creator is doing this - I won't just reject it outright - I'll contact them to get more of a backstory and go from there. #realworldsex is as varied as it possibly can be and we want to keep it that way. We just want to make sure that the content on our site is consensual, cliche free and contextualized. If it's creative and comical all the better.

Consider it branding. The "MakeLoveNotPorn" brand tells you it's gone through at least the vetting process.


Exactly. Hate to break it to you guys, but those dorm rooms don't exist. :)
