It is strange to you because it does have revenge porn laws. What it does not have is an automatic invalidation of the contract entered into to engage in the sexual activity itself if revenge porn laws are violated.
To use another instance of this, if we agree that you will fix my plumbing, and then you steal my car, the stealing of the car is very much against the law, but breaking that law does not invalidate the contract for the plumbing work. @grte above thinks that if you knew the person was planning on stealing your car, you would have never agreed to have them work on your plumbing, and thus the plumbing contract should also become null and void in every case. That is what Canada does not have. Nor it is likely anywhere else does either.
Then that would be rape by deception. Does Canada not have that?
When there is deception, but that needs to also be established. One does not necessarily imply the other.
