Episode 44: Lena Paul on Consent and Trauma Informed Porn

Apr 8, 2019

In Episode 44, we are honored to have porn performer and director Lena Paul with us. She explains why it was important for her to cut her ties with Evil Angel following the news of James Deen’s return in a forthcoming docu-porno called Consent. We also talk about creating trauma informed porn sets, and approaching our work with vulnerability and openness.

In our news segment, we catch up on the work that we have been doing, including podcast appearances and new articles. We also preview the “Sexual Suppression” panel that Peepshow Podcast will be hosting this week at Theorizing the Web in Queens, NYC.
