Porn safety and consent on every set we run
Safety and consent are not a promise at the bottom of a page, they are the rules that decide whether a scene happens at all. At PornCouch every performer is a verified adult, every scene with partners requires a recent test, consent is confirmed for each scene separately, your limits are written down before anyone picks up a camera, and you can refuse at any moment without penalty.
Adults only (18+). Applying is free. You never pay us.
Five rules that apply to every shoot
These rules are the same for beginners and experienced performers, for actresses, actors and couples. They are not negotiable on our side, and nobody on set can override them.
- Adults only, with age and identity verified before any invitation
- Consent for every scene, confirmed again on the day
- A written limits sheet agreed before recording
- The right to stop at any time, without penalty or pressure
- A recent test for every scene with partners
Consent for each scene, not one signature for everything
Agreeing to come to a casting is not agreeing to a scene. Agreeing to one scene is not agreeing to the next one. Before each recording we go through what the scene is, who is in it and what is on your limits sheet, and you confirm that you want to do it. If anything changes, the partner, the scene type or the set, consent is asked for again. You never discover the content of a scene on the day, and nobody can add something you did not agree to. What the agreement covers is explained on the porn contract page.
- You know the scene type and partner in advance
- Consent is repeated if anything changes
- Nothing is added on set that you did not agree to
You can say no at any moment
You can pause or stop a scene at any time, for any reason, and you do not have to explain yourself. Stopping carries no penalty, no fine and no deduction for things you already did, and it never counts against you for future castings. You can also decline a scene offered at a casting, change your limits before a shoot or withdraw your application completely. A studio that punishes you for saying no is not a safe studio, and we do not work that way. If you are preparing for your first porn scene, knowing this in advance is the most important thing to take with you.
- Stop or pause anytime, no explanation needed
- No penalty and no pressure after you refuse
- Declining a scene does not affect future castings
Your limits, written down before the camera starts
At the casting we fill in a limits sheet together: the scene types you are open to, the things that are a hard no, and anything that is a maybe only under certain conditions. The sheet stays on your application, the crew reads it before the shoot, and it can only be changed by you. You can edit your limits from your panel before any shoot, and changes made after a casting are confirmed again in writing. Our guide to setting your limits before a shoot explains how to think about this if you have never done it.
- Open to, hard no and maybe, in your own words
- Read by everyone on set before recording
- Editable from your panel at any time before a shoot
Testing for scenes with partners
Every scene with a partner requires that everyone in it has a recent test result from a certified laboratory or clinic, and the result is checked before the shoot, not after. Solo scenes and photo sets do not need a test. If a result is missing or out of date, the scene is moved, never recorded anyway. We explain how testing usually works, what is commonly checked and why results have a short validity in our article on STI testing for adult performers.
- Recent results for every performer in a partner scene
- Checked before the shoot, not afterwards
- No result means no scene, without exceptions
Private storage and deletion
Your photos, your ID and your selfie go to private storage that is never public and is opened only through time-limited links by the people who need to check them. We never publish application photos. You can use a stage name in everything we publish, and we never ask for your surname when you apply. You can delete your application from your panel at any time, which removes your contact, your photos and your profile from our candidate list. Records the law requires us to keep after a shoot stay locked and are used for nothing else. More about this on 18 USC 2257 age verification and in our privacy policy.
- Application files are never public
- Stage name in everything published
- Delete your application yourself from the panel
No fees and no travel offers, ever
Fake castings in this industry usually look the same: a registration fee, a payment for a portfolio, a deposit for a contract, or an offer to pay for your tickets, visa or apartment. We do none of these things. Applying is free, the casting is free, and you never pay us anything at any stage. We do not offer travel, visas, housing or relocation, and the location of a casting is confirmed in your invitation. If someone uses our name and asks you for money, do not pay and write to [email protected].
- No registration, photo, training or contract fees
- No tickets, visas, housing or relocation offers
- Payment always goes to you, after the shoot
