CrashPadSeries.com is produced by Pink & White Productions, a queer woman of color owned and operated-company directed by Shine Louise Houston with the goal of creating sexy videos that reflect our diverse and varied desires. Subscriptions let viewers be part of the action, buying into a portion of our production to enjoy unique adult cinema.

Thanks to financial contributions from members, we’re able to produce new videos every month that expand the representation of gender and sexuality and increase our model rate to pay performers more for their work — with equal pay regardless of gender, ethnicity, size, ability, experience, or even what they’d like to do on camera. (We also offer performers 40% commission to earn revenue on past scenes.)

We have worked to lower the cost of CrashPad subscriptions to make them more affordable, less than the price of most paysites and cheaper than a night out on the town. That said, we understand our community often struggles to make ends meet. We are students, we are parents, most of us are working class, and under stress about jobs and housing, so it can be difficult for us to prioritize spending money on the pleasures in life. (And this is 1000x harder during a global health crisis like COVID!)

Not having the budget for a subscription doesn’t mean you have to miss out. We want to create options for those who can’t afford a membership, but who still want to watch our work AND support our business. As “anti-capitalist capitalists” (Shine’s words!), we work within the system to run a sustainable business that supports everyone involved. Here’s a few ways to access CrashPad for free as ethical porn consumers while respecting our jobs.

How to Watch CrashPadSeries.com for Free

1.Write a Review or Article. If you’re a good writer who likes topics of sexuality or a researcher working on a paper about pornography, we welcome academic and social dialogue about porn in a way that examines gender, sexuality, race, ability within explicit media, and respects sex workers autonomy in sexual expression. Let us know if you’d like press access to review the site for your piece or to use as a citation.

2. Transcribe. We’re working on a site-wide closed captioning project and are enlisting volunteers who can type and transcribe words and sounds from our Episodes and Behind the Scenes videos to English text. Each video takes 1-2 hours to transcribe. In exchange, you’ll get a free month membership.

3. Closed Captioning. Do you have experience creating .srt files? Make files for Closed Captioning from existing text transcripts to increase accessibility for deaf and hard of hearing viewers. *** This is currently our most needed volunteer position. We need you! ***

4. Translate. Do you speak a language besides English? Help us make multi-lingual subtitles by translating English texts to another major language. We especially need folks who are familiar with vocabulary that accurately and respectfully expresses our performers’ queer and trans identities.

5. Sex Educate. Did you know CrashPad’s creator Shine Louise Houston was a trained sex educator? Gain permission to use CrashPad videos to demonstrate safer sex, consent, queer sex acts, and diverse bodies, genders and sexualities for classes. Contact us for use our photos to illustrate sex ed articles on your website. Find diverse bodies and depictions of desire to share with your students. (Note: If your business or institution has the budget, we can offer affordable licensing of footage such as LGBTQ+ sex ed showreels and other presentations.)

6. Fundraise. We donate CrashPadSeries.com membership subscriptions to community fundraising events year-round. See our Community Support page for updates about events. Throwing an event? Need raffles prizes? Ask us about membership donations and coupons.

7. Perform… ;-) CrashPad performers get a lifetime membership. Learn more by reading our performer application.

More CrashPad on a Budget

Here’s a few more ways to watch CrashPad Episodes cheaply, while on a budget.

1. Save up. Make a personal “spank” bank! Put aside $1/day. Before the month is over, you’ll have enough for a subscription.

2. Best Birthday Ever. Ask 12 friends to give you $10. That’s a subscription for a whole YEAR!

3. Earn Commission. Become an Affiliate and promote our site on your blog with a referral link. Invite friends to sign up through your links. The commission earned from 4 sales will cover the cost of a subscription, and top-performing affiliates can request free memberships to aid in their promotion.

4. Watch individual CrashPad episodes Only interested in one specific episode? Skip the membership and rent the one video you’re interested in. Older episodes are available on Pink & White’s video-on-demand hub for indie and emerging filmmakers, PinkLabel.tv. Behind the scenes videos and gallery are not included and are still exclusive to a CrashPad membership.

5. One month and quit! Be a member for only a month. Just don’t forget to contact CCBill before the end of that first month to cancel your subscription. We’ll still be here if you want to renew your subscription again. (Note: PLEASE do not steal our content — if you have friends who also cannot pay for a subscription, send them the link to this post!)
