Episode 9: AVN Special: Lynn Comella on Female Owned Sex Toy Shops & Dominic Rystan on Being a Non-Binary Porn Performer
Feb 1, 2018
We start Episode 9 on the floor of the AVN Expo, talking to cam performers and clip producers about their hopes for the convention. We hear from Christy Ocean (@ChristyOcean), Scarlet Raven (@ScarletRaen_69), Little Puck (@littlepuck), Miss Lollipop (@MissLollipopMFC), and Scarlett Fox (@ScarlettFoxPlay).
We interview Dr. Lynn Comella (@LynnComella), from University of Nevada, Las Vegas, about her new book Vibrator Nation. Vibrator Nation is the history of feminist owned, sex-positive sex toy shops. She explores the way these early businesses created space for women, and then talks about the tension between feminist activism and entrepreneurship.
Next we interview Dominic Rystan (@DomTheStud), a non-binary content creator and performer with a clip store on ManyVids (@Manyvids). He sat and talked to us about the complicated politics of having a clip store on Manyvids as a non-binary performer. We dive into his story, into the politics of gender identity on the site, and the implication this has for non-binary performers.
