In May, 2025, we responded to Senator Mike Lee’s “porn ban” proposal by reading the bill aloud while having sex. (Check out the video on reddit or PornHub!) The following statement was our full response to reporter Sam Cole when she asked about our decision to make the video, and we decided to share it here:
We think Senator Mike Lee’s proposed bill, The Interstate Obscenity Definition Act, is deeply misguided and ethically wrong.
The effect Lee’s bill would have on porn producers and consumers is obvious, but it’s the greater implications that scare us most. This bill would hurt every American by infringing on their freedoms and putting power into the hands of politicians. We don’t want this government—or any well-meaning government in the future—to have the ability to find broader and broader definitions of “obscene.” Today they use the word to define porn. Tomorrow it could define the actions of peaceful protestors.
Lee is a life-long member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, aka Mormons (a background shared by Diana). There’s little doubt that his bill is motivated by his religion, as Mormons believe that sex is a private, sacred act that should only be shared between a husband and wife (and wife and wife and wife if we’re getting fundamentalist). Like many religious people in power, Lee and his proponents feel they have the responsibility to fight evil by controlling the world around them. (Ironically, this bill actually contradicts the church’s stance on human agency, as you can see in this church-sanctioned article.
Even as creators ourselves, we know there are plenty of reasons to be critical of the porn industry given its long history of ethical violations. Pornography can become a problem when it becomes compulsory, or begins distorting views of sex, body image, or relationships. Similar to Lee, our beliefs have motivated us to take action. But unlike Lee, what we do does not impede the freedom of others. Instead, we try to give agency back to our fans by providing a happy, healthy alternative to mainstream porn. We offer hardcore content made by loving partners who are totally committed to 1) being good to each other, 2) having fun in our bodies, and 3) showing others what deeply-fulfilling sex can look like.
Since Lee’s bill would interfere with our ability to share these loving videos, and even punish us for making them, we had to do something… even if it was a little silly.
It was Damien’s idea to read the bill aloud while having sex, but as you can tell from the video, it was a team effort! We always like finding new ways to make love, but also wanted to use our platform to draw awareness to Lee’s proposal. We think our little sex tape reflects our fun-loving personalities, shows that porn isn’t always sinister, and highlights this frustrating issue.
Finally, we want to assure our fans that, If Lee’s bill does move forward, it will not deter us from finding a way to share our backlog of 69 (not a joke) sex tapes still waiting to be edited and uploaded. His bill will never stop us from going down on each other in the great outdoors, pursuing sexy collaborations with cute people who share our values, or doing anything and everything that turns us on with the express purpose of turning on others. In fact, if the bill does go through, we vow to have the best and craziest sex we’ve ever had, and to continue sharing it with the world 💛
We love you all,
Diana and Damien
