In this special summer series, we're watching episodes of Law and Order: SVU that deal with sex work and the porn industry, and then ripping them apart.

If you want to watch along with us, the series is available to stream on Hulu.

Season 6, Episode 15: "Hooked"
A teenage girl who moonlighted as a hooker is killed, and the tragedy is made worse when it's revealed she was HIV positive.

Porn is more than just bawdy images. (HAH, see what we did there?!) Representation (or lack of it) affects how porn performers and viewers see themselves.

What did you see during Rachel’s visualization exercise? Do you see bodies like yours represented in porn? Tell us! Instagram: @afteradult Twitter: @afteradultpod or email: [email protected]

Rachel mentions the tv show “Shrill,” which is available on Hulu!  If you haven’t seen it yet, you should probably go watch it, like, right now.

What is desirable? What is “fuckable?” According to mainstream porn, it’s a pretty narrow definition. Hint: It rhymes with shmite, shmin, and shmig shmoobs.

Adrienne digs deep discussing weight loss, breast reduction surgery, and her love for powerlifting. Rachel has tons of insightful questions and observations to share. This is episode is revealing and full of positivity. Let us always remember that ALL bodies are good bodies (and swimsuit bodies 🤗).

Anti-porn activists think they're helping people, but who are they really concerned about?

Why do we only seem to hear from ex-porn stars who have negative things to say about the industry? There's a *lot* to unpack around this topic, so we break it down into three broad categories: opposition for religious reasons, opposition for nonreligious ethical reasons, and Adrienne's personal least favorite, anti-porn feminism.

Rachel and Adrienne discuss porn addiction, drug use in the porn industry, STD/STI risk and the performer testing system, violence in porn, the passage of FOSTA/SESTA (see links below) and more.

Anti-porn organizations/websites we discuss:
- www.antipornography.org: use caution when visiting this one, because the late 90s Geocities vibes might just give you an aneurism if, like Adrienne, you can’t handle ugly websites.
- Fight the New Drug:  https://fightthenewdrug.org
- Jesus Loves Porn Stars/XXX Church:  https://www.xxxchurch.com/theindustry
- Shelley Lubben’s Pink Cross Foundation, which closed in 2016: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelley_Lubben

This was recorded as the first 20 minutes of our anti-porn episode, but we cut it into a minisode because nobody really needs a 2-hour podcast episode in their life.

Rachel lost her opera virginity recently! This honestly has nothing to do with the adult industry, but if you're into feminist analyses of cultural texts, this episode could really be your thing! Also, Adrienne does her best opera singer impression. Please leave your anti-opera hate mail in the form of a review on Apple Podcasts.

Emphasis on *fucking.* Hollywood has the Oscars, and Porn Valley has the AVN Awards. But there’s more than just the AVNs! We talk about the variety of porn awards shows, the mind-blowing red carpet fashions and the super-NSFW award categories. Adrienne tries to remember what the hell she was nominated for. Rachel tries to guess what some award titles are (hint: she’s surprisingly accurate). And OF COURSE we discuss Cardi B’s fantastic performance at the 2019 AVNs, and her A+ lewwwks. 

Ready for some red carpet photos? Here are some galleries, literally none of which are SFW:

It's our first minisode! Adrienne and Rachel play a game that's sort of like Never-Have-I-Ever, except with kinks and fetishes. At first it seems like Rachel hates everything, but then we find out that she's really a dom at heart.

Introducing Rachel, my new cohost! In this first episode of the new year (we're calling this season two), we discuss fetishes. Rachel, who is not a former porn star (although she could be if she wanted to, HAY GIRL!), asks some excellent probing questions about fetish work in the porn industry. We get a little existential. Then we talk a lot about boobs, feet, noises Rachel hates, and vore (nomnomnom).
