Doing It! with Hannah Witton

In this episode, Hannah is joined by Paulita Pappel, who is a producer, director, and performer, and the co-founder of Lustery.com. Lustery is a platform for homemade porn from real couples and Hannah and Paulita talk about how that works, how they screen people and pay them for their work, and how the definition of amateur porn has changed. Paulita also discusses how she got into porn initially after having a very sex negative view of the world growing up, and answers your questions about consuming porn in a more ethical way, advice for making your own homemade or DIY porn safely, and introducing porn into your sex life. Hannah and Paulita also talk briefly about Pornhub and what happened after the New York Times Children of Pornhub article was published and the pattern of anti sex trafficking religious groups attacking porn sites. Finally, Hannah asks Paulita about the experience of curating the Berlin Porn Film Festival - what happens, what kind of films are shown, and why Hannah should go in 2022!

In this episode, Hannah is joined by Silva Neves, who is a psychosexual and relationship psychotherapist and author, to dispel all the myths around sex addiction and give us a better framework to view sexual behaviour through. Silva talks about the difference between the public idea of sex addiction and the understanding of it in a sex therapy clinic, and gives us a rundown on the definition of addiction and so how sex and porn addictions don't fit into it. Hannah and Silva then discuss compulsive sexual behaviours, which is what someone who might think they are a porn addict could be experiencing, and the causes of these behaviours and the potential distress they can cause.
