***TW: mention of sexual assault in this episode.***

We’re taking a bit of a turn this week as I excitedly bring on my colleague from one of my vanilla gigs, Carlie McPhee, a sexual health educator based in Vancouver, Canada to speak to us about the so-called effects of pornography on children. We analyze the newly-released documentary, “Raised on Porn”, as requested by one of you listeners (thanks @gallegosmash!).

He wanted to know if this film was based on factual merit or evidentiary research or if it was sensationalism at its finest. If you’ve been a long-time listener of the show, you may know that us sex workers get the brunt end of stigmatization, tasteless jokes, the short end of the stick when it comes to policy and acknowledgement, and the list can go on. I bring on Carlie this week to dissect the unintentional role pornography plays in kids’ lives when growing up: as a sexual education tool. We also discuss sexual health education in schools and at home and discuss where the responsibility should lie amongst our kids and youth. With porn being so accessible nowadays, where does it belong? What should we do about it? Share your thoughts with us!

Yay, I get to be a student again! Excited to bring you all the LAST EPISODE of Season 6! To close things off this season, I bring on NYC-based dominatrix, Mx Tomie, onto the show this week to teach us a little thing or two about chastity. Having gone some new chastity subs and harbouring my own curiosity, I invited Tomie to give us a breakdown on what chastity is, why it might appeal to some folks, and get real nerdy on the details around equipment. Since most of Tomie's clients are cis-het men, we speak primarily on cages designed for penises, the different types of material used on them, comfortability, and general hygiene on how to clean them. Of course, no fetish or kink topic can go on without discussing potential harm and general safety guidelines on how to practice chastity play safely with your clients. We also touch on remote chastity play and her thoughts on that as well as the many questions that Tomie's fans have written in. A thoroughly in-depth episode that barely just skims the surface on the topic of chastity but hopefully provides a great introductory lesson on this fun kink.

Mark your calendars: Season 7 drops on Sunday, July 7th, 2024 @ midnight PST.

It's rare that my vanilla world and SW world collide...so you'd best believe I was absolutely thrilled when my colleague and friend, Dr. Brandy Wiebe, pulled me aside at one of our work get-togethers and asked if she could chat with me on the podcast. As a professor at UBC in the Department of Sociology, Brandy is esteemed academic with research specializing in sex, gender and sexuality and feminism. We speak about the history of feminism and how the roots its had in contemporary laws that condemn SW and the impact its had. We discuss the roots of where anti-SW was formed, where it's based and we can kind of see a cyclical repeat happening to our community through general whorephobia. I had such a great conversation with Brandy and we will likely be chatting about this again at our next gettogether!

I was really stoked when Sinn Sage of Sage Advice Podcast messaged me that she'd like to come onto the podcast. Sinn is a veteran of our industry, a podcaster like myself, an intellectual, an advocate. She does so much in and for the industry that I was honoured that she wanted to speak her truth on the podcast. We speak about the intersectionality of queer rights and SWer rights and how closely related they have been. The crusade against queer and trans folks is eerily similar to the witch-hunt that is also happening to SWers. We look back on history and compare to what's happening in this current day and age. I shared such an incredible conversation with Sinn and we hope that you enjoy the episode as much as we did recording it!

It's a little reunion episode! Stoked to bring former Season 1 guest, Danica from the 50 Plus a Tip Podcast! Danica is a stripper and online content creator and she does NOT hold back on dishing it all on what dating has been like for her as a SWer. As you can probably expect, there's some good, there's a lot of bad and a ton of great advice that Danica shares with us on this episode. To disclosure, meeting friends and family, to dating horror stories, Danica spills it all. Listen in on this super fun episode!

Remember peepshows? You might've recalled that it was a thing of the past, or, if you listened to one of my earlier episodes with Sunshine McWane, you'd have been educated on the near extinction of peepshows. Well, it was to my delight to have met Ruby of Ruby's Pop Up Peepshow. As you might've guessed it, Ruby's developed a mobile version of the classic peepshow. Inspired by her many trips to Amsterdam, Ruby wanted to bring the magic and essence back from The Netherlands to Canada. After much going back and forth, Ruby developed a peepshow on wheels (which I've had the pleasure of experiencing) and throughout the episode, explains that its more than just a peepshow. It might even better different from what you think a peepshow is! Go donate to their GoFundMe if you'd like to support!

Sooooo excited to be bringing Kactus Kutie back on the show! Kactus was a previous guest on the show but this time around, is bringing back her expertise as a photographer in the adult industry.

You're all in for a treat this week! I was lucky enough to catch European p*rnstar, Agatha Vega, during some her downtime while she is in still in Los Angeles checking out the scene here. On this episode, I sit down with Agatha on how she ventured into the adult industry from her humble roots in Venezuela, moving on over to Spain and navigating the industry there. I explore Agatha's curiosities about checking out the North American market and how similar work is conducted overseas and how much they can differ in various aspects of the industry. Catch Agatha while she is on North American soil until April 15th!

It's a lighter week this week and I am joined by the host of the And Now We Drink Podcast, Matt Slayer! Matt, a former security guard in the adult industry now turned podcast host, has been running his general, adult rated and multiple award nominated show for the past 8 years. As we have been asked countless times before, we decided to do a fun collaborative episode on the do's and don'ts of podcasting, as a host, as a guest, and as a person who might be looking to start a show. We love podcasting in this industry and love all of our guests. After 13 years total for both of us, it's safe to say that we've learned a thing or two. Matt and I spill the tea on podcasting and share many laughs in this episode (which I'm sure you will too!).

***TRIGGER WARNING: Mentioning of doxxing***

This is a heavier episode. I can't sugarcoat it and nor should I on such a serious topic. Doxxing is something that happens to SWers unfortunately, more often than you think. My friend, Lulu Adore, was doxxed recently by a complete stranger just a few short weeks ago. She has wanted to come out with her story to warn others that, despite being careful and private about her life, it still happened to her. Not only that, but Lulu also shares, in extensive detail, the backlash she has gotten from her parents and family with her participation in SW. It's not pretty. It's not sugarcoated and nor should it be. This podcast episode is around to share the very real details of the realities that some folks have to live and I thank Lulu for her bravery on speaking out. Listen in and let us know your thoughts.
