Let’s break down this porn issue.
Firstly, as a national conservative I believe that hardcore pornography should be illegal. Producers and distributors of porn should be jailed. Porn sites should be taken down and those who maintain them put on trial. Porn is corrosive and harmful for all of society. A strong anti-porn current has been growing and anti-porn legislation has been passed even in liberal America.
Online porn is becoming so grotesque and rancid. Psychotic harlots like “Bonnie Blue” are pushing the limits with 1000 men orgies. It’s revolting, vile and downright satanic. Moves must be made to crack down on this debauchery worldwide.
For the purposes of this article, we will look at who is “responsible” for the introduction of porn. Lots of memes say that porn is exclusively a Jewish-owned and propagated industry.
This is a standard GDL slop tier meme that cherry picks Jews in pornography and declares the entire thing “Jewish”. But is that accurate? No.
Doctor Manhattan made a good thread on X refuting this meme for both omissions and distortions.
First off, the meme contains some false information. Fabian Thylmann, a major player in online porn as the former owner of Manwin which owned Pornhub, YouPorn, RedTube, Brazzers, Twistys.com, Mofos and other porn sites, is German and has no provable Jewish heritage or links.
Stephane Pacaud is French with no proven Jewish heritage or ties.
Grindr is not porn, it’s a gay dating app. Tinder is not porn, so irrelevant. Nathan Abrams is a journalist, not a pornographer.
The rest of the names seem to be accurate. There have been a number of prominent Jews that helped propel porn, especially in America, and one of them (Al Goldstein) admitted a nefarious anti-Christian motive for his involvement in pushing the industry.
It’s been noted in some periodicals the disproportionate involvement of Jews in porn filmmaking.
There have definitely been some shady Jews in porn and these particular individuals were pretty nasty characters, like everyone involved in that business. But that’s just it: disproportionate. They are also disproportionate in Hollywood, finance, medicine, law, media, academia, chess masters, Nobel prizes, economists, etc, etc. Anything over 2% - their share of the US population - is technically disproportionate.
This is not a slam dunk case for a “conspiracy” and I’ll explain later why that’s not logical. Disproportionate doesn’t mean they are the only ones producing or distributing porn and that’s the deception of memes like this which purposely OMIT all other major players who aren’t Jews, thus EXCUSING anyone else doing the same thing.
Let’s go through some other names.
Playboy, Hustler and Penthouse magazines were the largest early influences on public nudity. They played a large role in normalizing pornographic images of naked women in the United States and around the world.
All three of these magazines were founded and owned by non-Jews: Hugh Hefner, Larry Flynt and Bob Guccione.
Some schizos try to dismiss Hefner because he had some Jewish editors, as if underlings are more responsible than the founder and owner himself, which is ridiculous. A list of 10 major Playboy editors shows that three were Jewish and seven were not:
Of the top 10 Playboy Playmates, all had a Christian upbringing, with only one, Marilyn Monroe, having converted to Judaism:
Of over 660 Playboy Playmates, seven have been Jewish that we know of:
That’s about 1%. So the vast majority of the women who helped Hefner push nudity, pornography and sex culture were non-Jewish women.
The influence of Playboy on advancing porn culture can’t be understated: it was massive. At its peak, Playboy reached 25% of US college men monthly, they used their money to fight obscenity laws which expanded legal protections for adult content, and they published the magazine in over 20 countries.
Hefner also used his platform to push liberal stances on all other social issues from race, LGBT, gay marriage, feminism, etc.
Larry Flynt’s Hustler was also very influential and he branched out into video porn, strip clubs and casinos:
Like Hefner, Flynt fought various legal battles with the US government to gain more protections for pornographic content:
Another American who propelled hardcore video porn was John Stagliano, of Italian extraction. He founded Evil Angel pornographic film studio and also was a porn actor. He prolifically pumped out porn for decades and was described as “the nation’s leading director of hard-core videos”.
Gerard Damiano was a major director of early American porn films including Deep Throat and The Devil in Miss Jones. He has been described as “one of the seminal directors of what is known as The Golden Age of Porn (1969–1984)”. He was born into an Italian Catholic family.
Damiano had a long list of pornographic films under his belt:
Deep Throat was a breakthrough porn film Damiano wrote and directed and it was distributed by Bryanston Distributing Company, which was controlled by the Italian mob. Louis Peraino (of the Colombo crime family) and Philip Parisi ran the company.
Another Italian mob figure involved in mass distribution of pornography was Robert DiBernardo. Working with the Gambinos and other Italian crime families, he was “reputed to control much of the commercial pornography in the US”. He was an associate of the Jewish porn kingpin Reuben Sturman.
DiBernardo “directly commissioned the production of much of the so-called Golden Age of Porn-era hardcore films made in New York” and worked alongside other porn entrepreneurs associated with organized crime. While aligned with the DeCavalcante crime family, DiBernardo bought softcore porn production company Star Distributors in the late 1960s “and used it to sell hardcore pornography of all types and media to adult industry businesses around Times Square.”
DiBernardo worked alongside Italian mobster Ettore Zappi who “became involved in the Gambino family’s pornography operations, financing pornographic films, peep shows, and strip clubs.” Zappi later sent an associate to LA to start up the porn hustle there.
Italian-American mob boss Sam DeCavalcante was reported to have controlled 90% of porn shops in New York City in the 60s.
Other Italian-American mobsters involved in the sex industry include Matthew “Matty the Horse” Ianniello, Carlo Mastrototaro, Anthony “Fat Tony” Peraino, and Natale Richichi. These men ran sex shops, peep shows, topless bars, porn book stores, prostitution and produced and distributed porn films.
Here are the names of the key figures indicted alongside DiBernardo in a 1980s case against their porn distribution racket:
That’s five Italians, four Jews and two others. So it looks like early American porn was a shady, often criminal operation dominated by ethnic groups predominant in New York City at that time (Jews and Italians especially).
Michael Thevis was another big player in American porn distribution. He was of Greek descent and was involved with New York and New Jersey crime families. He was raised in a strict Orthodox Christian household.
He made his fortune on peep show machines and was nicknamed “The King of Pornography” and “The Sultan of Smut”.
Thevis and fellow gangster Roger Underhill pioneered the “peep show booth” operations throughout the country.
Thevis boasted that “99 percent of America’s adult magazines and films flowed through his sprawling warehouse” and created some of the first peep show machines modelled on jukeboxes.
This article revealed that in the 1960s, the Genovese crime family owned the majority of gay bars in Greenwich Village.
Other names in early American porn include Joe Sarno, of Italian descent, who “he had written and directed approximately 75 theatrically released feature films in the sexploitation, softcore and hardcore genres”.
William Hamling was a prolific publisher of sex novels and friend of Hugh Hefner.
Fred Lincoln was a prolific actor in and producer of pornographic films.
This list is the top 20 American porn actors/actresses and has people of varied backgrounds, mostly Anglos, Scots-Irish, Italians and some Jewish.
More Contributors to Internet Pornography
I mentioned earlier the name Fabian Thylmann, a non-Jewish German who started Manwin, which later became Mindgeek, a firm that came to own many major porn websites.
Here Thylmann talks about his involvement in the industry:
Before Thylmann obtained Mindgeek, it was owned and run by an Austrian Bernard Bergmair and an Arab-Syrian, Feras Antoon.
Hungarian businessman Gyorgy Gattyan founded sex streaming website Jasmin.com.
Pornhub was founded in 2007 by four men, none of which appear to have Jewish backgrounds: Stephane Manos, Ouissam Youssef, Feras Antoon, and Matt Keezer.
Several news outlets announced that Pornhub was acquired by a “rabbi” called Solomon Friedman. This fired up the “Jews run all porn” types, but they leave out key details. He’s not a practicing rabbi, he works at a venture capital firm.
Friedman is just one of six executives at the venture capital firm Ethical Capital that acquired Pornhub. He’s just the only name mentioned in the sensationalist news articles about the acquisition.
The chairman of Ethical Capital is an Italian, Rocco Meliambro, and manging partner is an Arab, Fady Mansour. The rest appear non-Jewish as well.
The advisory board has mostly Anglo names, possibly one Jew (Shayna Miller).
So once again, the only way one can conclude that Pornhub is exclusively owned by a Jew is if you ignore literally all the others at the firm who also approved of the purchase of Pornhub.
OnlyFans was started by a British guy named Tim Stokely.
Stokely’s father gave him the loan to start the website and his brother was the COO. While originally OnlyFans had a ban on explicit sexual content, Stokely lifted that in 2017 and hired Bill Fox to help bring porn content creators to the website.
In 2018, a Ukrainian-born Jew, Leonid Radvinsky bought a 75% stake in OnlyFans.
Here are the top 10 creators on OnlyFans (a mix of ethnicities, most with Christian background):
Here are the leading execs at OnlyFans currently, mostly Anglo names:
Most OnlyFans creators live in the Anglosphere and 70% are women:
So we can see here that while there are some prominent Jews in porn, there are just as many non-Jews doing the same thing.
Porn in Other Countries
Japan
A country like America has a lot of Jews, over 6 million, most of whom live in big liberal cities, so it is not surprising you will find them overrepresented in a niche film genre. And even so they were and are by no means the whole of that industry there.
Let’s look at a country with very few Jews; Japan. The Jewish population of Japan is almost non-existent, with only 200-600 permanent Jewish residents.
Yet, porn is pretty huge in Japan. It is ranked second, behind the US, for porn consumption.
Here are the major porn companies in Japan.
All the leading porn entrepreneurs in Japan are Japanese:
One of the biggest porn entrepreneurs from Japan is Keishi Kameyama:
The “Emperor of Porn” in Japan is Toru Muranishi:
Needless to say, the Japan example proves “Jews” are not a prerequisite for pornography.
Spain
Here are the top Spanish performers and directors, all have Spanish names and there’s no known Jewish backgrounds:
All of them have either a Christian background or are atheists:
Here’s a few of them:
Sweden
Here are the leading adult performers and directors in Sweden:
None can be identified as Jewish, maybe Alexandra Stein but could also be German.
Colombia
All the top performers, directors and producers of porn in Colombia are either Christian background or atheist:
I could go through every country on earth and we’d see the same thing. Porn has no ethnicity, either in its production or consumption, everybody of every race is partaking in it.
Jews Consume Porn Too
You’ll often hear White nationalists claim that porn is a Jewish conspiracy to specifically target non-Jewish Whites and corrupt their morals.
They riff off of one quote from Al Goldstein where he talks about an Jewish atheistic revenge-grudge motive against Christianity (not specifically Whites) and extrapolate from there. That may have been part of Goldstein’s motive, but he speaks for himself, and he is by no means the only kingpin in porn.
The problem is that all races in America and the West are consuming porn, and black men are consuming it most.
The porn producers can’t control who consumes their product, let alone target it to specific racial groups. It’s extremely easy for anyone of any background to access porn. So the idea this is only being pushed on “Whites” is nonsense; blacks are being affected the most.
Moreover, if porn were a “Jewish conspiracy,” then you’d expect that Jews would somehow be protected from its effects. But that’s not the case. American and other Jews are consuming porn just like everyone else. Jewish rates of porn consumption are similar to other groups.
Some studies refer to cases of porn addiction among Jews:
So if Jews are consuming porn at similar rates to others and are getting addicting to porn at similar rates to others, then how can we call it a conspiracy specifically by Jews against others?
Also, Jews involved in the porn industry are partaking in the degenerate lifestyles themselves, not avoiding it. So if they’re not being shielded from it, then you can’t claim it as a malicious conspiracy to harm others. That would require an extreme centralization of the industry in a tiny few hands, that would require extreme control over who is able to consume it, etc. Not possible with the decentralized digital internet where anyone can view it and anyone can upload homemade porn.
Porn in Israel
If porn were a Jewish conspiracy to harm explicitly non-Jews, then porn would be illegal in Israel. But it’s not.
Porn is legal in Israel and Israelis consume a lot of porn.
The above Haaretz article says, “Israelis love porn, especially local porn, and both professionals and amateurs are delving into the scene”. It shows that nowadays most porn in Israel is produced for Israeli homosexuals and even transsexuals.
Israel ranks number 45 in consuming content on Pornhub.
An Israeli researcher discovered that 61% of Israeli men consume porn weekly, 15% daily and that 55% of Israeli women have consumed porn.
An op-ed on the Times of Israel speaks of the increased pornography use among even religious conservative Orthodox Jews:
Another study from the Israel Center on Addiction found that “27% of (Israeli) high school students age 18 and over watch pornography on a daily basis” and a 30% increase in addiction overall (porn, alcohol, gambling, pills, etc.) over a period of five years.
You can find many more personal blogs written by Jews talking about being addicted to porn.
There’s the case of gay Jewish porn producer Michael Lucas, Russian born but based in the US, who boasted of numerous trips to Israel to promote and even film porn for Israeli audiences.
Lucas produced and shot a gay porn film called “Men of Israel” that had an all-Israeli cast.
He organized trips for gays to travel to Israel and he promotes LGBT causes in Israel.
Interestingly, because he is a Zionist he has received pushback from anti-Zionists in the porn industry. He claims that he is being “boycotted” by other adult film stars because he supports Israel’s war in Gaza.
Here he is giving the details in an interview:
So you’d think that if Jews had such a death grip on the porn industry, nobody would be “boycotting” Lucas for supporting Israel. But since the industry is so global and diverse, anti-Zionists also exist within it.
You have the famous case of Lebanese-born porn star, Mia Khalifa, who routinely blasts Israel and even defends Hamas.
Here is a list of Israeli porn websites:
To sum up, if Jews are getting addicted to porn at similar rates to other groups, and if they are consuming porn at similar rates, then this can’t be a unique conspiracy by Jews against other groups. If Israel is permitting porn among its largely Jewish population, then how can we say that porn is their weapon against us?
Some Jews Oppose Porn
To round this off, it’s important to look at how some Jews oppose pornography and campaign against it, demonstrating that Jews are not a monolith on this issue and thus cannot be collectively blamed for it.
Prominent Jewish conservatives have come out hard against porn.
Ben Shapiro wrote a polemic against porn called “Porn Generation: How Social Liberalism is Corrupting Our Future”.
He explores:
How porn producers see themselves as shaping and taking over Mainstreet U.S.A. · The real face of taxpayer-funded sex education: nine-year-olds learning about condoms; twelve-year-olds being questioned about their “sexual orientation” · The new collegiate do s (accepting “sexile”) and don ts (“dormcest”) · How Hollywood and TV have mainstreamed pornography: why porn stars now turn up regularly on television and in glossy ads and why celebrities imitate porn stars, etc.
Dennis Prager came out against pornography in his 1995 book Think a Second Time.
He also condemned it in a 2019 speech.
Academic Judith Reisman was one of the most prominent and active campaigners against pornography in America. She waged a ruthless battle against Alfred Kinsey’s liberal sexual studies as well as nude mags like Playboy.
She was given a grant by the US Justice Department to study nude mags like Playboy, Hustler and Penthouse for obscene content.
An obituary described her as Hugh Hefner’s “greatest earthly foe” and noted her role in inspiring Reagan administration’s commission on pornography.
Rabbi Mordechai Becher came out against porn with a video titled “What’s Wrong With Pornography?: One Jewish Perspective”.
Rabbi Shmuley Boteach wrote an op-ed against porn.
The My Jewish Learning website says that, “Traditional Jewish law is firmly opposed to pornography.”
Rabbi Ariel Root Wolpe wrote a piece where he takes a critical view of porn and porn addiction, especially for young men.
Reform rabbi Eric Yoffie assailed porn as contributing to a “moral crisis” in America.
A website run by Yaakov Nadel called Guard Your Eyes helps Jews battling porn addiction.
Even some left-wing Jews like feminists Andrea Dworkin, Gail Dines, Phyllis Chesler and Susan Brownmiller fought against porn in the public space.
Brownmiller founded Women Against Pornography.
What all this shows is that Jews are not a monolith on the issue of pornography or any issue. Porn is neither exclusively produced by Jews nor is it exclusively defended by them in the public square. These notable cases show some public opposition to porn from both conservative and progressive Jews.
