Censorship Doesn't Just Silence Sex – It Silences Scholarship
Academic Freedom.
Cultural Access.
The Right to Inquiry.
For over 30 years, FSC has fought the legal, legislative, and cultural battles that determine what gets made, what gets seen – and, now, what gets studied.
Age verification laws. Platform purges. Payment processor blacklists. The forces targeting the adult industry reach far beyond it. They shape who gets heard, what gets seen, and what gets funded. The legal and regulatory battles facing the adult industry are also battles over cultural expression, labor rights, and free inquiry itself.
FSC membership is open to academics, educators, and researchers specializing in social sciences, humanities, law, and other areas of study, including media studies, specifically as this research relates to sex, sex work, sexual health and wellness, pleasure products, and the adult entertainment industry. Membership connects your expertise to the work happening on the front lines – and brings academic voices to bear on the policy fights that will define those boundaries for years to come.
