(Los Angeles, CA / February 27, 2025) – Cherie DeVille tackles the biggest trends shaping the adult industry in her latest op-ed piece for The Daily Beast, “How Sex Stunts, Podcasts and MAGA Porn Stars Are Rewriting Porn’s Rule Book”.
With more than a decade in the business as both a performer and producer, DeVille offers a candid, first-person take on the latest viral phenomena, platform shifts, and cultural battles defining the landscape of adult entertainment in 2025.
“Porn is both more popular and more reviled than ever,” DeVille explains, highlighting the explosive rise of “stunt and event-based viral content” and the mainstream’s simultaneous fascination and outrage. From performers pushing limits with high-profile group scenes to the increasing crossover between adult content and mainstream media, DeVille examines how OnlyFans TV (OFTV) and NSFW podcasts have blurred the lines between adult entertainment and pop culture.
Another key shift? The growing demand for “demure” and “ethical” porn. “There’s a growing appetite for consensual, realistic portrayals of intimacy, a shift reflecting broader societal conversations about consent,” DeVille says, citing a Pornhub report that shows searches for “ethical porn” spiking 92% in the past year.
The article also doesn’t shy away from the growing political tensions facing the industry, from increasing legal restrictions on adult sites to the unexpected wave of adult performers embracing Donald Trump’s MAGA movement for financial reasons.
“Trump is as controversial and divisive a figure in Pornland as anywhere else,” she notes, dissecting how conservative economic policies have attracted performers despite traditional GOP hostility toward the industry.
DeVille closes with a look at the future: how vertical video is now king in an era of mobile-first content, and how AI is both a threat and a tool for adult creators. “We are embracing what the current AI landscape can do for our businesses – using AI chatbots to help with fan interaction, creating licensed digital duplicates of themselves that they can sell access to online, and creating epic fantasy scenes using AI backgrounds that could never before have been possible.”
