This is the Authentic Sex Podcast, real-life conversations about sex, pleasure and relationships.

I'm your host, Juliet Allen.

Welcome to episode number 137 of the Authentic Sex Podcast.

My name is Juliet Allen.

I'm a sexologist and sex and relationship coach.

And this week on the podcast, I have a very special guest.

Her name is Erica Lust.

She is an indie adult filmmaker who creates sex positive adult cinema by betraying

relatable characters, realistic, very hot

sex, and offers a more inclusive and cinematic alternative to mass-produced mainstream porn.

It is an absolute honour to have Erica on the show today.

Her approach to porn, her values, the way she speaks about

it, the behind the scenes of it, it's all very admirable and it brings a really fresh energy

into the industry that is porn and that is adult filmmaking. And so, yeah, I'm really excited to have Erica on the show.

And this conversation was really, really interesting. In this episode, we covered things like

what's the difference between sex positive adult cinema versus mainstream porn?

What to consider when watching and choosing porn? Why, quote unquote,

free porn isn't ever free? How to educate children about porn, which is so important because often

it's their first introduction to sex, unfortunately. So this is a really big topic that we talk about. We also go behind the

scenes of producing ethical porn. We speak about so much. It's a really great episode and it's

really interesting. So I truly hope that you love this one. Before we jump right in, pleasure

school has now opened its doors.
