Mormon pornography

Mormon pornography is a subgenre of pornography themed around the Mormon religion. According to the journalist Isha Aran, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) views Mormon pornography as blasphemous, and that most directors and performers in Mormon pornography are ex-Mormons.[1] Mormon pornography typically depicts sex acts between actors and/or actresses portraying members of the LDS Church. Mormon elders are depicted as domineering over their multiple wives, who obediently submit to their husband's commands, treating participation in the act as a sacred duty. Performers may be (initially) dressed in Mormon underwear, and the setting may be the inside of a Mormon temple. In accordance with stereotyped Mormon norms, profane language is absent.[1]

Aran writes that the genre originated in 2010 with the launch of the gay pornography site MormonBoyz.com.[1] Website founder Legrand Wolf claims to have graduated from Brigham Young University with a doctoral degree,[2] as well as being an ex-Mormon.[3] The site MormonGirlz.com, launched in 2014, by a woman known in the industry as Brooke Hunter, a 33-year-old ex-Mormon, features both heterosexual and lesbian relationships between Mormon characters.[1]
