This piece examines the exploitation of migrant sex workers in Greece through the marketization of nonconsensual video recording of sexual encounters where profit and pleasure are extracted from emerging predatory economies at border crossings. In the context of this special issue on Sexuality and Borders, the piece suggests that extraction of value from sexuality and sex work at borders relies on racial profiling of refugees, reinforcing, sorting and situating them in the colonial cartographies of space where the construction of desirability furnishes the consumer and producer with enduring orientalist fetishes of migrant male masculinity as untainted by the supposed metrosexualization of the European man. Blending history and fieldwork to uncover the production and proliferation of these sex tapes, the article also looks at the ways in which sexual play and pleasure seeking engender new social and spatial relations through solidarity that emerges in response to predatory porn industries.
