Welcome back to my playground, Lexual fiends and friends.
Let’s talk about PORN!
Tonight’s episode is an extra special one for me, on a personal level, because I used to work in the porn industry as a scriptwriter and creative producer.
If you don’t believe me, check out my IMDB page! (It’s not complete, and only shows credits on the movies and series I worked on, but not any of the productions that were released as individual scenes. But still, I think it’s pretty cool.)
I’ve invited award-winning adult performers Jet Setting Jasmine and King Noire to join me for my podcast on Pornography: Empowerment and Ethics in the Adult Industry.
We explore the ins and outs of the porn industry (yeah, you know damn well that all puns are intended!).
We’ll be talking about female empowerment, the true meaning of ethical porn and what Jet Setting Jasmine and King Noire are doing to revolutionize the adult entertainment industry.
Maybe I’m making them sound like porn superheroes, but I know firsthand bringing change to the mainstream, male-oriented and male-dominated adult industry is a massive challenge.
When I worked on the scripts for all these productions, I was instructed by my male superiors (in a male-run company, for male-centric porn) to emphasize male pleasure, the “money shot” or cum shot, which usually ended the scene.
The female orgasm, and shooting the production in such a way that empowered the woman, was not at all a consideration.
In my chat tonight with Jasmine and King Noire, you’ll get to hear about how they’re setting the bar high with their own productions for Royal Fetish Films.
We’re going to cover what they’re doing to help steer the conversation about female sexuality in a more positive and empowering direction – which we know is no easy talk. We’ll talk about how good porn can help create positive change within society about the importance of celebrating female pleasure, and the beauty of the female body. We’re going to cover important issues within adult entertainment (and society as a whole) like combating sexism, racism and stereotypes, and what it means to create and promote ethical porn.
If you missed tonight’s or last week’s episode, you can still listen on iTunes and here.
Don’t forget to listen in tonight and every Thursday night at 5 PM PST / 8 PM EST on The Sexy Lifestyle Network, on Voice America.com.
Until next time, Stay Lexual and find me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram!
