A compelling documentary led by online sex workers, giving us an intimate peek into their daily lives and guiding us behind the scenes. It demonstrates that adult platforms are not only a workplace but also a space of creativity and self-expression, in which many individuals thrive and develop new skills. This challenges the audience’s preconceived ideas and gives them a better understanding of this industry.
With the emergence of new subscription-based adult platforms like OnlyFans or MYM, it has become easier to create and sell adult content from a simple computer or smartphone. This content can range from the most ‘soft’ erotic nude photos to the most explicit pornographic videos. “Télétravail du sexe” (“Remote Sex Work”) is a documentary that gives a voice to online sex workers by following them in their daily lives, thus showing the behind-the-scenes reality. It reveals that adult platforms can be a space for creativity and body expression, where many people thrive daily and develop new professional skills that go far beyond what the general public imagines.
Whether one has chosen this profession out of passion or convenience, sex telework, like many other solitary and independent jobs, comes with its own joys and successes, and empowerment… But also with burnout, isolation, and alienation due to the judgment of others, performance and financial pressure — which is further reinforced by the stigma and censorship experienced on the Internet.
