As AI-generated images become increasingly lifelike, the intersection of technology and pornography raises ethical questions about how much control the public has over the kind of media they consume. With image-generators like Midjourney and Stable Diffusion, it is possible for anyone to create convincing photos of fabricated people, potentially upending a multi-billion dollar industry, undercutting demand for real-world models and actors, and creating deeper worries about female objectification and exploitation.
These AI tools are even more accessible than the ‘deepfake’ software that concerned many in 2017. Diffusion models don’t require any existing videos; they generate entirely new photographs by following the patterns found in billions of images they have previously analyzed.
The implications of this new technology are alarming: forums devoted to using the tools to create AI-generated porn discuss how it can be used to create sexually explicit images of women without their consent. People have also shared guides on how to use the technology to edit real images, such as removing the clothing of women who were originally photographed fully dressed.
One tool that can help create ‘uber realistic porn’ has been downloaded more than 77,000 times in the last three months, and the images have sparked some worry in the porn industry about their new technological competition.
However, Mark Spiegler, an agent for porn actors, believes AI cannot compete with the charisma, skill, and attractiveness of performers in the industry. Zoey Sterling, a sex worker and art history student, agrees, saying, “The people saying AI could replace sex workers are the same people who act like sex workers aren’t humans.”
Though it may be difficult to tell real accounts from fake ones, the ethical implications of AI-generated images are clear. They have the potential to be used to humiliate or mock real people, and it is essential that viewers be able to distinguish between real and fabricated people. With no way to watermark or fingerprint AI-generated images at the time of their creation, this task can be challenging.
It is important to note that, while AI-generated images may become increasingly convincing, the human spark and spontaneity that real performers possess will remain impossible to machine-learn.
SexLikeReal: 120FPS Upgrade Sets New Standard for VR Porn Quality
SexLikeReal is raising the bar for immersive adult content by upgrading its 6K60FPS library to 6K120FPS, aligning with the latest 120Hz headset displays like Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S. This upgrade promises a smoother, more realistic experience for viewers who prioritize visual fidelity in their virtual reality sessions.
According to SLR, 120FPS means reduced flicker, more stability, and less eye strain, delivering a premium feel comparable to lossless audio or top-shelf whiskey. The site notes that this level of video fluidity is exclusive to SLR, offering a truly standout experience for those using compatible headsets.
Currently, users can stream 5792×2896@120FPS using 8K decoders, and 16K 120FPS support is in the pipeline. Once released, these will be encoded at 11520×5792@120FPS, pushing the limits of clarity and motion in VR adult entertainment.
Feedback from early viewers has been overwhelmingly positive:
“Goddammit, it immediately looked better than the original”
“Easily the best video quality out there”
“It’s even more life-like in motion, and improved realism is always a plus”
SLR is inviting its users to request 120FPS upgrades from their favorite studios, with the ultimate goal of converting the entire library to this enhanced format. Meanwhile, all 120FPS titles currently available are listed on the site.
Behind the scenes, SLR uses a Canon R5C RF52 camera that records 190º 8192×4096@60FPS fisheye footage at 125Mbps CBR. This is later encoded to H.265 using a meticulous, high-quality process for optimal streaming — capped at 30Mbps to avoid bandwidth and decoding issues, while still preserving stunning clarity.
SLR’s approach matches video frame rates with headset refresh rates: 60FPS for 60Hz, 90FPS for 90Hz, and now 120FPS for 120Hz headsets, delivering motion that feels natural and fluid.

The message is clear: for the best-looking, smoothest VR porn — SLR is leading the way.
Mr Deepfakes Shuts Down Amid Global Crackdown on AI Porn
In a stunning turn of events, Mr Deepfakes—long considered the world’s largest hub for deepfake porn—has abruptly shut down, sending shockwaves through the online adult AI content landscape.
Once pulling in 13 million monthly visitors and boasting over 250,000 members, the site gained infamy for hosting nonconsensual AI-generated pornography featuring female celebrities. Regularly condemned as a dark emblem of deepfake technology, Mr Deepfakes became a focal point in the global debate around consent and synthetic media.
As of the week of May 6, 2025, the site went dark. Its homepage now displays a stark message:
“A critical service provider has terminated service permanently. Data loss has made it impossible to continue operation. We will not be relaunching.”
In bold, the message further warns users that any future site claiming to be Mr Deepfakes is fake, and the domain will eventually expire.
Although the operators remained anonymous for years, Der Spiegel recently named a Toronto man, David D., believed to be behind the site. The 36-year-old was reported to have worked in a hospital and launched multiple controversial websites over the years.
Back in 2022, one of the site’s creators told the BBC, without remorse:
“I don’t really feel that consent is required. It’s a fantasy, it’s not real.”
But reality appears to have caught up. Just one week before the shutdown, the U.S. Congress passed the Take It Down Act—a landmark bill set to criminalize the distribution of sexually explicit imagery, including AI-generated deepfake porn, without consent. Under the new legislation, offenders face up to two years in prison for adult content, and up to three years if the material involves minors. President Trump is expected to sign the Act imminently.
Meanwhile, the UK is moving in a similar direction, preparing its own laws targeting nonconsensual synthetic porn.
AI advisor Henry Ajder reflected on the site’s legacy:
“Mr Deepfakes was launched in 2018 after Reddit’s original r/deepfakes ban. Its meteoric growth was proof that demand existed—but this shutdown is clearly not from lack of interest.”
Ajder warned that, as with the Reddit ban, new platforms will inevitably rise to fill the vacuum left behind.
Nevertheless, for survivors and advocates, the closure marked a long-awaited win. Laila Mickelwait, founder of Traffickinghub and leading anti-deepfake activist, posted:
“Congrats to the survivors and advocates who have been pushing for this mega abuse site to be held accountable!”
The end of Mr Deepfakes signals more than a technical failure—it may represent the beginning of a global reckoning for AI-generated adult content.
Ofcom Sets July 2025 Age Check Deadline for Adult Sites
As the UK’s powerful media and communications regulator, the Office of Communications—better known as Ofcom—has officially laid down a hard deadline for adult websites to introduce robust age verification systems for UK users.
Established by the Office of Communications Act 2002 and empowered through the Communications Act 2003, Ofcom serves as the government-approved authority overseeing the UK’s broadcasting, telecoms, internet, and postal sectors. With a statutory duty to protect consumers and uphold content standards, Ofcom regulates a wide range of services including TV, radio, broadband, video-sharing platforms, and wireless communications. One of its core responsibilities is ensuring that the public—particularly minors—is shielded from harmful or inappropriate material online.
In its latest move under the UK’s Online Safety Act, Ofcom announced that all pornography providers accessible from the UK must implement “highly effective” age verification processes by July 25, 2025. On April 24, the regulator issued letters to hundreds of adult sites warning them of non-compliance consequences and clarifying that the law applies even to platforms based outside the UK.
“If people are visiting your site from the UK, you’ll likely be in scope, wherever in the world you’re based,” the agency stated.
The action builds on earlier requirements directed at porn content producers who self-host, some of whom were already expected to comply earlier this year. The July deadline now puts the entire online adult sector under one enforcement umbrella.
In addition to enforcing universal age checks, Ofcom is requiring any platform that only verifies age for part of its content to complete a children’s risk assessment for remaining accessible sections. This assessment must be submitted by July 24, just one day before the compliance deadline.
Sites found to be in breach of the new requirements face significant penalties—fines of up to 10% of global annual revenue or £18 million, whichever is greater. Ofcom also signaled the possibility of escalating enforcement by seeking court orders to compel third parties like banks and internet service providers to block access to non-compliant platforms.
As part of its broader safety initiative, Ofcom is exploring the use of AI-driven facial age estimation tools to support verification processes, a move reflecting the increasing intersection between artificial intelligence and adult content regulation.
Earlier this year, the UK government also announced plans to make the country the first in the world to criminalize the creation, possession, or distribution of AI tools intended to generate child sexual abuse material (CSAM), signaling an even more aggressive stance toward digital harms involving minors.
Ofcom’s July deadline now stands as a critical compliance milestone for the global adult industry. For any site with UK traffic, there is no longer room for delay—age verification must be implemented, or the consequences will be severe.
