Porn is good for your health — and the science will blow your mind!

In this episode of Pleasure Science I sit down with Lotus Lain, an intimacy professional and sex industry advocate, to unpack the truth about porn, sex work, safety, and consent.

Together, we dismantle the biggest misconceptions around sex work and explore what the research actually tells us:
📉 Decriminalizing sex work reduces rape and sexual assault
📈 Criminalizing sex work makes everyone less safe
💡 Porn sets some of the strongest standards of consent you’ll find anywhere

Lotus shares her story of becoming a sex-work professional, the real meaning of consent, and why sex work is work. We talk whorephobia, porn literacy, and the cultural myths that keep people misinformed and afraid of the very industries designed to promote agency, communication, and choice.

This is a necessary conversation that will challenge your assumptions, sharpen your understanding of pleasure, and expand the way you think about sexuality, safety, and empowerment.
