Creators of adult content have so far often encountered censorship problems, so they seem to have found new possibilities in the virtual currency world. Digital asset on the blockchain-NFT (non-cash token).

Holding Vladimir Tennev, CEO of Robinhood, a financial services firm that is locked and pleaded with his hands folded. The picture entitled "Ourad is my Dog" is traded in the virtual money market Rarible for 1 Ethernet place (more than $1772).
This image was made by Cryptonatrix, the queen and artist of SM. She specializes in what she calls "appealing to politics and worldly events on the subject of women". The other, huge feet on Elon Musk's head. "what's the safe word?" Elon, and two men in Reese belts, like Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel, bent down to touch their skin. She sells the works for at least a few hundred dollars, but the works don't exist physically.

These works are called NFT. In other words, non-alternative tokens, which are signed ball cards and rare stamps, have only one precious "digital container" for collecting items in the world. NFT is very famous, especially in the art world. Grimes recently sold a 50-second video from his NFT for $390000. Steve Xiaoqiu's "Dream Catcher" limited edition art collection sold for $4.25 million (John Leisure, a former T-Mobile CEO, bid for $888,888, an all-time high at auction). Artist Beeple hung NFT at Christie's auction and won the bid for a staggering $69 million. Twitter founder Jack Dorsey (Jack Dorsey) also plans to sell the first tweets from previous auctions as NFT. The current highest bid is $2.5 million.
"Adult creators have always had censorship problems."
Outside the virtual currency community, there are probably sceptical views about NFT and its future value. But in the adult industry, which was praised for its early introduction of technology, just as it promoted the popularity of video recorders and cable TV, adult content creators such as Cryptonatrix began to introduce the NFT craze to sell their work to niche but enthusiastic customers.
"buyers just want to eat dogs, so I don't want to get what's on the blockchain," Cryptonatrix told Rolling Stone magazine, making NFT in September. "but some people want to get such digital tokens and become the owners of special pictures produced by their favorite creators."
Recently, most sex workers have moved into virtual currency. "because adult creators have always had censorship issues," explains Aera, a linear worker. She previously uploaded about five nude photos to another platform, which she sold as a NFT at a price of $600. As mainstream payment services such as PayPal have refused to process transactions that become human business, the assets of many sex workers have been frozen as a result.
In addition, it is hard for sex workers to maintain their presence on large platforms like Instagram. There, it is often subject to account restrictions or is seen as the goal of strict content guidelines. While some sex workers see NFT production as a way to diversify their sources of income, they are also aware that content is not excluded from the blockchain. "this is not the perfect solution. Because the platform's policy on nudity is not transparent. But there is a good chance of real freedom, "Mr. Aera said."
Ali and Eve Knox is currently at auction to draw the picture "Allie in the City part 2", which is depicted as a giant in Madrid's famous metropolitan building. The Allie in the City part 1 of the previous work sells for the equivalent of $510 on Rarible in the virtual money market. The picture was made by one of her assistants, a man commonly known as Dog_editor, for about $15. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Mr. Knox believes that NFT production will also generate compensation for us in the long run. If someone resells her NFT, 30 per cent of the remaining fees will go into her arms. "some rich boys resell pictures in the community. I also want to entrust you with the overflow, so I joined in. "Mr. Knox explained. "I don't want to change the art world, nor do I want to be respected. I just want another source of income. "

Porn is not free.
Mr. Knox believes that NFT is more symbolic for making sex workers. In video sites and the world of pirated porn, porn is seen as an one-off product, while NFT porn subverts this cultural perception. In the past, in the era of Limewire, people downloaded everything. Because it's possible, because it's inculcated, because it can be easily obtained, even anywhere. Educational art, music and nudity are all things to pay for, which will be a big step for sex workers in the future. Because I would urge you to pay for customized limited content. I want you to pay for porn. "
Of course, there are some big obstacles. Mr. Knox said that operating maintenance fees, especially those for the cashing of Ethernet Fong, can sometimes be a problem. In addition, the opacity surrounding the outlook for virtual currencies also makes the threshold relatively high. In addition, many markets that recognize NFT made by adult content creators will let us do the same in the future, and we don't know if we will follow the example of mainstream platforms and wipe out all highly sexual content. In addition, according to the age confirmation rules, it is not possible to determine whether the creators who sell nude or obscene NFT have reached adult age. "I don't know how old the buyer is and how many people are reflected in the content, but who, how many people are, and whether they agree or not. For me, this is the most worrying thing. "Cryptonatrix said.
However, this negative possibility is the only way for new technologies, and adult creators are optimistic. Assuming that the platform has banned the content that you pay attention to in the workplace, there will also be new spaces and platforms for the adult industry. "because it smells like gold," Mr. Ella said. "everyone knows that."
