As the adult industry tries to adapt to the new normal under the ongoing pandemic, what was going to be the very first edition of the San Francisco Porn Film Festival will be going online this month of August. “If you stream it, they will cum...” is the slogan under which director Shine Louise Houston is launching a newly built platform for that purpose – streaming the programming of the festival with a live audience. In this POV podcast episode, we speak with Houston about the start of her career as a filmmaker, the obstacles adult entrepreneurs face and the new challenges that COVID has brought to the industry. Plus, she shared with us a reflection on gender as a rubric rhizome journey.

Shine Louise Houston is a filmmaker and the founding director and producer of Pink and White Productions, an independent production company creating queer pornography in San Francisco. Shine has directed 5 feature-length pornographic films in addition to producing, directing, and shooting hundreds of short films and instalments for her queer porn membership site CrashPadSeries.com. Shine is also the director and founder of PinkLabeltv, a hosting platform for emerging and independent adult filmmakers.

Shine’s work has been screened and awarded internationally. And this year she’ll be creating the very first San Francisco Porn Film Festival.

How does systemic racism manifest in the adult industry? What are the structures that uphold and reproduce it? Who is responsible for the racist and sexist titling and tagging of porn films? Is porn political? Can we educate a porn audience? How can we navigate BDSM representation in pornography? How can the industry get better? We spoke with Demi Sutra, Bishop Black, Mickey Mod, and Bertoulle Beaurebec. They share their experiences, thoughts and analyses from their own perspectives within the adult industry.

Demi Sutra is a porn star, a content creator and a proud sex worker. She is currently learning to become a counsellor within the sex work community through the support and therapy service Pinneaple Support Society.

After celebrating masturbation month on the POV blog, we invited a guest to the POV podcast who brings a very personal and passionate story around the topic. Buck Angel, the man with a pussy, told us how masturbation was key for him in accepting his body and beginning to feel good about himself after a rough journey. He transitioned from woman to man twenty-five years ago, in the pre-internet era. He has since then been questioning assumed gender roles and fighting for transgender folks and everyone to have freedom of choice in life agency over their bodies and sexualities. In this podcast episode, he tells us about his work and struggles both in the cis-gendered world and the transgender communities. We learn about his adventures in the adult industry and shares the story of a young man who had his very first orgasm at twenty-six thanks to a sex toy. Most of all, he teaches us why we are all unique sexual beings and deserve to be happy.

Buck Angel is a Human Rights Activist. He is a Filmmaker, Performer, Producer, Sex Educator, and Motivational Speaker. Buck brings the message of empowerment through self-acceptance and encourages everyone to be comfortable in their own skin - whatever that means for them. He produced the first adult film series starring transmen and also created the world’s first pleasure product specifically for the transgender male community: The Buck Off, produced in collaboration with Perfect Fit Brand as a means to re-imagine trans male sexuality and this community's specific set of needs.

Delfine and Juan made their debut on Lustery over a year ago, though sharing their first sex tape with the Lustery community is just one of many paths sexual curiosity has led them down. Even though they’ve been together for seven years, their insatiable appetite hasn't dwindled and the Lustery couple keeps on discovering new flavours to their sexuality.

In the newest episode of the POV podcast, they share how they've kept the flame alive. A hint: talking! The bilingual couple even shares how to get your tongue in a twist and improve your oral skills. Getting in Bed with Delfine and Juan, we also revisit their very first encounter in London, back when Juan was working in a café and Delfine was on the hunt for the best hot chocolate in town.

Clearly, it was some pretty incredible hot chocolate as the couple soon uprooted to start a new life together in Berlin a year later. Once again, Berlin proves to be the city where sexual fantasies come true. Juan and Delfine don’t have an open relationship, but they’re not monogamous either, so they’ve figured out a way to navigate jealousy that makes them both happy. In other words, their dating lives continue to be as much of a thrill as their kinky home life.

Expect more about dating as a couple (even in times of corona), why social distancing is making them both feel hornier than ever and how these two entertain themselves in lockdown.

We virtually got into bed with the Lustery couple Buffy and Jack who have been living together for a year now, both working from home. Thus, they're best qualified to deal with the current crisis and lockdown situation, as they've already figured out how to share their living space 24/7 without bite each other's heads off. Luckily for us, they are sharing their wisdom, routines and advice! Plus they talk about how their sex life has become more playful, kinky and romantic, all at the same time. A practical lesson on how communication can improve your relationship on all levels.
