By Taryn Pedler Published: 14:16 BST, 27 July 2024 | Updated: 17:18 BST, 27 July 2024 207 View comments A European migrant crisis followed by a viral hijab sex scene from the most-viewed porn star in the world became the recipe for the sick phenomenon that is refugee pornography. Since 2015, when Angela Merkel threw open Europe’s doors, the genre, born from the heartache of helpless women fleeing persecution and warzones has become virulent in Germany and across other European destinations.Gay porno The influx of migrants across Europe has resulted in a rising demand for refugee porn as conflict continues to consume globe – but most notably, the Middle East. Searches for ‘Muslim’ women and ‘refugees’ across well-known porn sites have spiked in popularity over the last decade, often showing refugee women, or adult film actresses depicting refugee women being subjected to humiliation and often dominated by their male counterparts. And because of this twisted peak in interest, and a scandal that followed one of the biggest names in porn – Mia Khalifa – to the end of the Lebanese actress’s career, the trend in migrant sex videos doesn’t seem to be on its way out any time soon. Here, MailOnline looks at the new desire for a porn category, in which defenceless migrants become the subject of warped sexual fantasies. Migrant porn spiked in popularity after the 2015 migrant crisis that erupted across Europe and when former Lebanese porn star Mia Khalifa was spotted in a a pornographic video wearing a religious Islamic hijab Searches for ‘Muslim’ women and ‘refugees’ across well-known porn sites have spiked in popularity over the last decade. Pictured: Migrant women fleeing Libya for Italy Mia Khalifa quickly became the most-searched adult-film star on the planet following a pornographic video showing her wearing a hijab THE RISE OF THE GENRE  The accessibility to porn in the modern age is unlike any level seen before.  This ease has resulted in the intermingling of explicit adult content, popular culture, current affairs, politics, and social issues – and migrants are no exception. A growing number of pornographic films feature plots and characters pertaining to current news themes and world figures, meaning while war and conflict erupts across the planet, there is more inspiration for perverse sex films. The genre revolves around exoticisation, submission, and a fetish for seducing, conquering, and dominating a powerless foreign woman.  Speaking to MailOnline, sex scientist and cultural anthropologist Jakob Pastotter said: ‘The common themes we see in this genre is migrant women needing money and work in exchange for sex. ‘This is down to a power issue, that’s what viewers are attracted to. ‘In migrant porn, there is no such thing as a strong women, they just whimper like little cats.  ‘And most Western men are used to powerful women in reality, but the migrant theme gives them the ability to feel powerful, it gives them a sense of superiority’. The steep increase in the demand for refugee porn was kickstarted when migration to Europe from the Middle East and Africa hit record-high figures. A staggering 1.3million migrants applied for asylum in Germany in 2015 after Angela Merkel, the former Chancellor, decided to open the borders into the country despite an EU regulation restricting migrants’ rights to claim asylum in the EU member state they first set foot in. Following her move which was met with fierce criticism, specialist film companies were set up in Germany that only created refugee and hijab porn content.  Pictured: A refugee woman crying during her arrival at the main railway station on September 13, 2015 in Munich, Germany. Hundreds of refugees, mainly from Syria and Iraq, arrived in Germany after Hungary opened its borders for them to travel into Germany Angela Merkel, the former Chancellor of Germany, opened her borders in 2015, sparking a migrant crisis that saw 1.3million migrants applying for asylum in the country  Pictured: A young refugee woman carrying a baby stands at the platform at the railway station in Berlin Schoenefeld on September 13, 2015. Around 700 migrants were sent from Munich as the Bavarian city was at the limit of its capacity to welcome refugees arriving in Germany ‘There was already an audience for exotic women in porn, and when Merkel opened the borders and caused the migrant crisis of 2015, this just boosted it,’ Pastotter added. Google Trends data from 2015 to 2024 reveals the disturbing truth around the interest in refugee porn over time. The search term ‘Refugee porn’ has peaked some 18 times since June 1, 2015, and most notably in February 2018, October 2020, and June 2023. It has also been reported there was also a surge in searches in the UK shortly before the Brexit vote in June 2016 and during the election in the summer of 2017.  And in an effort to cater to the growing desire of migrant porn, it was revealed in research published by German newspaper Zeit that a video made in 2003 was newly uploaded in 2017 with keywords ‘refugee’ and ‘Syrian’ in the caption. The film showed a white man having sex with a woman wearing a headscarf.  The majority of these titles depict female protagonists in subjugated roles, who are often made to look like they have Middle Eastern origins. In explicit scenes the women – who are often seen wearing a religious Islamic head covering – are often shown to be sexually dominated by a white man. The headscarf – a hijab – is frequently fetishised as a symbol representing female migrants as a whole and is usually kept on in scenes even if all other garments are removed. Some refugee porn also feature the Arabic language as part of their scripted narratives as a way of further pushing the image of female migrants as mysterious, out-of-place objects of sexual desire. Also taking into consideration the fact that sexual exploitation, rape, violence, trafficking, slavery, and prostitution are recurrent themes in the journeys of many migrants tying to reach Europe, the issues surrounding the rise in demand for refugee porn deepens. In reality, women are abused and taken advantage of by smugglers and traffickers as a form of payment for their services as many refugees are unable to speak the local language, lack proper documentation and are desperately trying to survive. Defenceless women travelling alone are often forced to perform sex acts in order to fund their survival and are at times brutally raped as punishment or as payment. Their oppressors also frequently use physical and sexual abuse to demand more money than originally agreed upon for their smuggling services, and their abuse can be recorded and distributed as porn. Alternatively, these events are used as the inspiration behind the sick migrant porn genre that capitalises on the heartbreaking and exploitative situations by selling them as graphic fantasy. ‘It’s all about the power imbalance,’ Pastotter added. ‘Men don’t want to watch something tender and sensual, they want aggression and violence and migrants carry the idea that women are already here and are just free as objects to use’.  MIA KHALIFA’S HIJAB SCANDAL In 2014, a whirlwind scandal revolving Lebanese former porn star Mia Khalifa, 31, broke the internet and catapulted her to international stardom after she was spotted in a sex video wearing a hijab. It was a moment that would go on to dominate adult film sites for years and spark beheading threats from Islamic State supporters. Mia quickly became the most-searched adult-film star on the planet following the pornographic video, which she claims was the idea of film producers.  Former porn actress Mia Khalifa was sent death threats by Islamic terror group ISIS following the release of the porn film she wore a hijab in Following the hijab film, videos began appearing on x-rated sites with false labels including ‘Syrian Refugee Mia Khalifa in Her First-Ever Porn Shoot’ She revealed in an interview with YouTube star Anthony Padilla in 2020 that she did not know what the contents of the film they would be shooting that day were. When asked about the reactions following the release of the video, Mia explained she had received death threats from ‘people who were so mad at me for putting on a hijab and making Muslims look bad’. After having worked with the adult company BangBros for a few weeks when news of the death threats broke, the former porn star realised she had become involved in an industry that requested her to make more ‘controversial’ and ‘Middle Eastern’ content. Mia quickly became known as ‘The Hijab Pornstar’ with the video having racked up 37.5million views as of 2024. According to InfoMigrants, the majority of these views originated from the US, with the UK in second place, and Germany in sixth.  Many women came forward following the scandal to claim that the video was not an accurate representation of Muslim sex, and therefore had ulterior motives.  A 2015 report by MuslimGirl – a magazine for young Muslim women – explained that the scarf on the head of a naked body served just one purpose – to be used as a tool to explicate the Muslim-ness of the woman in the video. ‘The brown woman has no voice or real identity, she just symbolises something ‘other’ to be conquered,’ it said.  ‘Mia Khalifa was groundbreaking when it comes to the success of migrant porn,’ Pastotter said. ‘She was exotic and different, and when she wore the hijab she was breaking a taboo.’ Following the hijab film, videos began appearing on x-rated sites with labels including ‘Syrian Refugee Mia Khalifa in Her First-Ever Porn Shoot’. These false titles were uploaded to enhance the attractiveness of the video as it then contained two of the biggest porn subjects in the world at the time – Mia Khalifa and refugees. The sex scientist explained that the hijab is a ‘very strong anchor in the Western mind to show inferiority,’ therefore catering to the desires of those who go out of their way to access porn that shows a clear power imbalance between the female porn star and her male counterpart. ‘Porn is not about attraction, it is about disgust and that’s why migrant porn is so wildly popular,’ he said. ‘It shows aggression, violence, inferiority of others, superiority of your own and it breaks taboos’.

‘Tell Me Lies’ Cat Missal And Tom Ellis Praise Intimacy Coordinator’s Role In Steamy Bree And Oliver Scenes: “It Makes Intrinsically Uncomfortable Stuff Slightly More Comfortable” Kenya Moore is handing in her peach for the time being. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star has reportedly been suspended indefinitely from the show for her alleged role in a “revenge porn” scandal. Partygoers at the grand opening of Moore’s Kenya Moore Hair Spa on Thursday night (June 13) were reportedly left shocked after seeing posters of newbie Brittany Eady allegedly performing oral sex, according to Page Six. A source with knowledge of the situation later told Entertainment Tonight, “Kenya was suspended for allegedly depicting Brittany performing a sexual act at the grand opening of her Kenya Moore Hair Spa in Atlanta, from images allegedly found online. The network is still reviewing the content Kenya displayed during filming.” Season 16 has reportedly continued filming with the rest of the cast, which includes Drew Sidora and Porsha Williams. However, it’s “unclear” whether Moore will return. Moore, for her part, denied engaging in “revenge porn,” telling her X (formerly known as Twitter) followers, “I have never distributed private images or footage of anyone, nor solicited images owned by others to use to threaten or blackmail. I have always been vindicated.” The longtime reality star also hit back at claims that she was fired from RHOA. I would never engage in revenge porn, I have never distributed private images or footage of anyone, nor solicited images owned by others to use to threaten or blackmail. I have always been vindicated. I can’t talk about STORY even with people planting fake news #sweet16🔥 “The way that people go out of their way to disparage your name or ruin your business, I’ll never understand it. Leave me alone,” she said on Instagram Live, before adding, “I stay winning, you know? It is in my blood. Success matriculates around me. So, I accept that. God has given me that, but I also give back as much as I possibly can.” She added, “I’m not going anywhere, despite all the stuff surrounding whatever … people want to write,” per ET. Meanwhile, Eadie also appeared to address the allegations on her Instagram Story. “It’s never a good feeling being targeted or HAZED by someone I thought would embrace me into a new circle, that I never met,” she wrote. DECIDER has reached out to Moore’s reps for comment, but did not hear back by the time of publication.

NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT According to Ofcom, more than half of British adults watch pornography online – and this figure is made up of over three times more men than women. Despite ethical porn producers and new forms of erotica designed to appeal to women, the majority of content is still targeted solely towards the male gaze.Gay porno This week, we hear from a reader who’s struggling with her body image after catching her husband masturbating to porn. Although friends tell her ‘all men’ do it, she’s worried she can’t live up to the women in these videos. Read the advice below, but before you go, don’t forget to check out last week’s dilemma, from a dad whose protective daughter is preventing him from moving on, despite the fact it’s been five years since his wife left. You might think I’m making a fuss about nothing, but I’ve recently discovered that my husband watches porn on the internet and it has really upset me. He’s a shift worker and when he’s working strange hours, he sleeps in the spare room. I noticed the other week that the bedside light was still on long after he’d gone to bed so I crept in to switch it off. He was fast asleep but still had his laptop open, and to my horror he had lesbian porn playing soundlessly. He had one hand on the keyboard, and you can guess where the other hand was. I fled to the kitchen and burst into tears. I’m not the slimmest or best-looking girl, and from what I saw, the models featured were slender and pretty, with big breasts. I thought we had a good sex life, but that glimpse made me feel so inadequate. Is that the sort of woman he really wishes he was with? I’ve spoken to a couple of friends about it and their view is that all men watch porn and I shouldn’t worry. I want to say something to my husband but feel really embarrassed. He keeps asking me what’s wrong, so it must be obvious that I’m upset about something. I’m afraid if I bring up the subject, we’ll just end up having a massive argument that I’ll wish I hadn’t started. I don’t want to minimise your upset, but your husband really isn’t doing anything that many men (and women) don’t do regularly. Watching porn only becomes a problem when it’s an addiction, so I do urge you to talk to your husband about what you saw, and make sure that isn’t the case. Seeing gorgeous girls on screen can trigger all sorts of anxieties about figure and appearance, but it’s unrealistic to compare yourself with such women. Porn actresses are often stunning creatures who get paid to have sex in films, and what they get up to usually bears little relation to the sex life most couples have. It’s important to understand that sex isn’t always connected to love, and I’m sure that watching the occasional porn movie doesn’t lessen your husband’s feelings for you in any way. Sometimes viewing pornography is just a comforting pleasure after a hard day at work, or a bit of fantasy escapism without the ties of real intimacy. Of course it can be used to relieve sexual frustrations, but if you generally have a good sex life, you have nothing to worry about. Resolve not to turn the issue into an argument, and calmly bring up the subject with your husband. Don’t blame him and ask him not to blame you; instead, simply try to understand one another’s point of view. I went on five minute date with a stranger then we had hot sex against a wall I’m getting married to my former PE teacher — my schoolmates still call her ‘Miss’ I spent my holiday having casual sex every night, now I feel ashamed He asked me to marry him and I said yes – then he told me about the baby I appreciate that some people still think it’s wrong but realistically, in 2024, the fact that your husband watches porn occasionally is not a big deal. If he’s worried he has an addiction, write to me again. Laura is a counsellor and columnist. I’m second-fiddle to everything my partner does – are we drifting apart?
