Panel: XXXPLICIT. From Porn Tubes to Online Sex Working This panel investigates the evolution of the sex and porn business, from the early days of webcam work to the creation of porntubes and commercial contemporary online porn platforms (PornoTube, RedTube, YouPorn, etc.). From one side, this development will be analysed technologically by highlighting the transformation in the field of pornography of the major adult-only platforms, presenting new disruptive business models of sharing porn; from the other side, the panel will bring a critical perspective on how roles and conditions of sexworking are changing with the use of online technology for porn and beyond it, questioning if User-Generated-Content models are bringing more sustainability or less participation in terms of community building. Furthermore, this panel will reflect on the transformation of the erotic and porn imaginary with the emergence of new pervasive sharing business models, social media platforms, as well as new audience.
