I don’t know if many of you read the Slixa Blog. I may have mentioned it once or twice, but it’s a great source of information when trying to navigate the hobby. The majority of it is geared toward providers, which is nice. I just think it’s good to know what to expect from the other side of the hobby. Anyway, a recent article came out about the future of the hobby specifically 2026.
The entire article was very straightforward. It mainly talked about how escorting won’t be something wiped out, but rather something made more compliant. We’ve already seen this happening with a lot of adult websites. Pornhub has been adding age verification requirements, rolling them out in a new state every month. ManyVids recently sent out an email to all affiliates stating they’ll be enforcing a “no nudity” policy on social posts, thumbnails, avatars—you name it, it’s no longer allowed. Some are saying it won’t affect us, but we’re already seeing signs of it with Eros’ new policies, which seem aimed at removing accountability from scammers.
The age verification issue was just the start. The article also delves into payment restrictions, closed networks, and local zoning laws—all with the intent of making it harder for clients to book providers and even harder for providers to make a living. The intent behind these measures sounds good on paper since it’s always about “stopping trafficking.” But as many providers who do this consensually as there are, the numbers that don’t far exceed that, giving law enforcement and government entities a reason to implement these new digital laws.
The same thing is happening in Europe. Without governments there knowing which sites to hold liable, they’re coming after all of them—enforcing their own rules that are confusing and ultimately make things even harder for providers and clients alike.
My opinion? Give this article a read. It really walks you through what to expect in the coming year. It’s detailed, informative, and helps us get ready for whatever’s next—and hopefully, how to adapt around it.
