Behind the Scenes

“I believe there’s a lot of room and need to create adult content that’s real, that’s respectful and powerful… I think it’s the perfect place to become political. It’s a place where money, sex, media, and ethics converge.” – Shine Louise Houston

Casting

CrashPad has long been celebrated by lesbians as a dyke porn site, although as a reflection of queer women’s community, we feature people of many genders and sexualities — as well as diverse ethnicities, body types and abilities, ages, and experiences.

Browsing our Stars page, you’ll find performers of many genders (cis, trans, non-binary, and other genders); performers who are femme, butch, and other expressions; people of color; people with disabilities; people who are fat, thin, athletic, and other body types; people aged 18 to 61; people with and without tattoos or piercings; and more.

Casting priority is placed upon Bay Area-based couples and crushes. If you don’t see yourself represented… we encourage you to apply!

Performer Agency and Consent

We collaborate with performers to show how they’d like to be presented. Our cast calls the shots (whether there’s a plot or not), and negotiates boundaries prior to filming. If you see a sex act on the site, it’s because the performers wanted to do it and the crew consented to film it.

Company Policy: The opinions and beliefs expressed by the people who have appeared on our site are their own and do not reflect those of Pink and White Productions or our crew. Pink and White Productions is not responsible for performers’ actions offset. As an entertainment company, our standards while on set include respectful conduct, sobriety (performers are not permitted to shoot if intoxicated), and the understanding that emotional and physical boundaries — including safer sex arrangements — are communicated and respected by all participants.

Sexual Health

There are three key components of sexual health: Barriers, Testing, and Communication.

Safer sex is consensual and risk aware. We encourage industry standard STI testing within 14 days of the shoot and the use of barriers. We also recognize that many performers are fluid-bonded partners and are capable of assessing their own sexual health needs. As such, performers have the right to perform as feels safest and most comfortable to them, and are responsible for their own sexual health. See our Sexual Health and Resources page for more information.

Our Official Safer Sex Sponsor Good Vibrations keeps us stocked with supplies from latex and non-latex condoms, gloves, dams, and lots of lube. Performers are welcome to bring their own toys and barriers.

Equal Pay

We pay performers an equal rate regardless of gender, race, body type, age, ability, experience, and even what kind of sensual or sexual activity is done on camera. Performers do not have to be naked if they do not want to.

Our current rate is $500 per person for 2 hours maximum time on set from start to finish, either 11am-1pm or 2-4pm). Scenes are shot for generally 30-45 minutes.

Performers receive a lifetime membership to CrashPadSeries.com, and have the option to sign up for 40% commission from our Affiliate Program, to earn ongoing payment from past shoots. Some performers make as much as $50-100/month promoting their episodes.
