About this episode
How has the porn industry shifted over the past 20 years, and how is it that Hollywood still gets it wrong when it comes to intimacy? What are the most common fantasies that women have based on their top porn interests? What about men/other genders? If I identify as a feminist and yet I’m super attracted to porn that involves dominance and submission, and maybe even some rough sex, can I still be a feminist while thinking this is hot? How can gang bang scenes (and gang bangs in general) be empowering? Can the woman receiving all the D be in control? About our guest: Erika Lust is an award-winning indie erotic filmmaker who creates sex-positive adult cinema by portraying relatable characters and realistic hot sex, going beyond gender stereotypes and harmful fetishization to offer a ground-breaking alternative to mass-produced mainstream porn. Over the past 20 years, the Erika Lust brand has gone from strength to strength. Erika has directed 6 feature films and series, over 130 short films, and produced around 180 more. In 2015, Erika gave her essential TEDx talk 'It’s Time for Porn to Change'. Her story was featured in the Netflix documentary series 'Hot Girls Wanted: Turned On (“Women on Top”)', directed by Rashida Jones, and 'Principles of Pleasure', directed by Niharika Desai. In 2019, Erika was named one of the BBC 100 Women’s most influential women of the year, and in 2022, her alternative vision of porn was featured in The New York Times and in the BBC Three & HULU series 'Planet Sex with Cara Delevingne'.
