**Porn Star Turned Sex Educator Helps Us Rethink Sex and Pleasure** Join us for a candid two part (yes, there will be more in next week's episode) conversation with the one and only Jessica Drake, a trailblazing sex educator, advocate, and former adult industry performer. With over two decades of experience, Jessica has been redefining the way we think about sex, pleasure, and consent. Here's what you'll learn from this episode: • How Jessica's journey from porn performer to world-renowned sex educator has helped her dismantle stereotypes and open minds • The common stigmas faced by sex workers and educators, and how we can work to overcome them • The concept of "porn literacy" and why it's essential for a healthier relationship with sex and media As a pioneer in the field of sex education, Jessica has used her expertise to create judgment-free, trauma-informed spaces that resonate with audiences from all walks of life. Her mission is to open minds, dismantle stereotypes, and redefine the way society views sex work and sexual pleasure. Tune in for a conversation that will challenge your assumptions, spark new ideas, and leave you feeling empowered to take control of your own sex life. **So, what's the most surprising thing Jessica learned from her 25 years in the industry?** "It's not about the sex; it's about the people."
