The Pornhub Podcast With Asa Akira

Today we are talking with Queenie Sateen: Pornstar! Half of the iconic New York City lesbian couple band Sateen! And: the newest Pornhub Brand Ambassador! Queenie is a true NYC legend and her journey into porn - while unconventional - is weirdly not surprising. We discuss Queenie’s top 3 jobs, the specificity of stripping in NYC, the ethics of plastic surgery, and the slippery slope that is lovebombing. Enjoy!

Kayley Gunner is an up and coming pornstar who was formerly a military sergeant! She started webcamming while she was still in the army, and she’s been shooting porn for about 3 years. We talk about sex in the military, some parallels between porn and the army, and how the military paid for her boob job. That, and a lot more. Hope you enjoy!

We recorded this right before we did the Luis DeJavier fashion show, and Asa didn’t know regular people use pasties. “Trans” is one of the top searched terms in porn again, according to the Pornhub Year-in-Review data. What’s a “penis fetish?” Why are dudes so obsessed with dicks? Why is it sometimes easier to express yourself when you’re being recorded on-camera? It’s been a year since Natassia got her brand new p*ssy - she was gracious enough to tell us: what does it feel like??? Is it different to shoot content? Whats the recovery process like? PLUS we talk about a bunch of stuff we weren’t allowed to be talking about OOPS LOLOL

In January, Pornhub Brand Ambassador Kira Noir made history by becoming the first Black woman to be crowned the AVN Female Performer of the Year! We talk to her straight off of her win - what this award means to her, why it's amazing, but why it's also kind of a bummer. Did she see this coming? Do we *know* when we are going to win awards? We also discuss her recent relationship status, and whether or not "friends with benefits" can ever really work.

Our favorite sex therapist, Dr Laurie is back to answer more of our questions! Today, I asked her about dating in the modern age. With new technology, new and improved rules around consent, and ever evolving social standards, what are the new rules of dating? How do you make a perfect online dating profile, and how can you tell what a genuine profile looks like? Where can you meet people besides the internet? How does one even make the first move without being a creep anymore? Do you really need to ask for consent before kissing someone for the first time? All that and so much more. Dr Laurie is a clinical psychologist that specializes in sex therapy. She runs Pornhub’s sexual wellness center, which is an amazing site dedicated to informing the public on all matters love, sexuality, and health. She does weekly Q&As, along with articles and videos on everything from basic sexual anatomy, to the latest in sexuality research, and how to navigate and build relationships. She was kind enough to squeeze us in between seeing patients. EnjoY!

Connie Perignon is the next big pornstar, I want to be on the record for officially calling it. She's only been in the business for four months, but she's already blowing up - I asked her how the F*** is she doing it?! We talk about her marketing background, professionalism (or lack thereof? lol) in the porn industry, and the difference between sugarbabies and escorts. What makes a perfect client? What makes the WORST client? Do guys know all of the weird ways other guys are getting themselves off? Connie and I have eerily a lot in common, EXCEPT for what kind of men we like- and we get deep into that. I've been obsessed with her since the moment I saw her, and I know you will be too.

Todays episode is my dream interview; our guest is urologist Dr Andrew Steinberg. Obviously, I hounded him with over an hours worth of boner questions. We talked about the four most common issues people walk into his office with: Premature ejaculation (when you cum too fast,) hormonal issues (like low testosterone,) erectile dysfunction (when you can’t achieve a boner, whether thats due to physical or psychological issues,) and Peyronie’s disease (when your dick has a curve in it due to scar tissue build up.) I got to settle a bet between my husband and myself in regards to precum (spoiler alert: I won, sort of,) and I also got to ask all about prostates, balls, and squirting. Oh also, I finally got some clarity on whether or not blue balls are real. To learn more after this interview, you can hear Dr Steinbergs own podcast “HAVE THE BALLS TO TALK ABOUT IT.” I know thats exactly where im headed next! Enjoy!!!!

Today’s guest is Kathleen Hema, MPH. She is a sex education expert giving parents tips to have the modern day sex talk. Along with being a university lecturer, she has an EXTREMELY helpful and resourceful YouTube channel as well as an instagram account and a Tik Tok account, helping parents talk to their kids about sex. As you all know, I am the mother of two children - my kids are still 3 and 0, but sex education has been heavy on my mind lately. We are living in a day and age where I need to prepare my kids for all of the information that is available - just a quick internet search away - and if I don’t appropriately prepare them for that information, it could be damaging for them. I don’t mean this just as a pornstar, either - if we as parents don’t talk to our kids about sex, and we just hope they’ll learn about it from somewhere else, theres a good chance their first encounter with sex will be devasting, scary, and just really confusing. So when SHOULD I start talking about sex to my kids? About consent? Masturbation? PORN? How do I raise my kids free of the shame I grew up with? How can I equip them with all of the knowledge they need to grow into sexual beings in the most safe, healthy way? I’m a sexworker. My whole life is sex. If iiii don’t know how to address these things, I can only imagine that other parents are curious too. I reached out to Kathleen to help me navigate this topic, so I dont totally fuck it up. She gave me some great tips, and explained everything in a really easy way where I actually feel pretty confident now to start the sex talk with my kids. She broke it down into a timeline so I know exactly when to talk about each topic, and she gave me scripts so that I now have the language to educate my kids in those topics. I learned so much, and I hope you do too!

Aiden Starr is a pornstar, director, producer, and one of the most famous dominatrixes in the world. On first sight, you may not think she’s all that intimidating; Aiden is shorter than me (!!!), blonde, and has naturally huge tits. But the second she opens her mouth she will ignite fear in you. Are 'dominant' and 'submissive' innate sexual orientations? What happens in an NYC Dungeon? Do sexual power dynamics carry over into the day-to-day of relationships? Are pornstars wired differently than non-porn people? What are the best foods to eat when vomiting or shitting on people? How much does race REALLY affect porn sales? Why is Gen Z so much more sexually confident than we were at 20? What’s the appropriate amount of conversation/education when it comes to young people and sex? DID AIDEN REALLY CUT A MAN’S BALLS OFF AND KEEP THEM IN A JAR AT HER HOUSE? Also: Aiden’s mom’s explanation of Venereal Disease. It’s very good.

He’ll never admit it himself, but Wolf Hudson is the king of Bi (sexual) Porn. Why is “bisexual” such a hard term for some of us to use? Is “queer” a derogatory term? Has the landscape for bisexual/gay porn changed in the last few years? How come women are given the luxury to identify as bisexual, but not men? Does homophobia exist in the porn industry? What is PREP (the “anti-HIV pill”) and how does it work? Also: Wolf and I briefly went to the same highschool in New York City, and now we’re both in porn!

I invited myself into world-famous pornstar Riley Reid’s home for an interview. What does her house look like? What kind of porn does a number one pornstar watch? Should people be free to fantasize about whatever they want, regardless of morals or ethics? What’s it like to date Jules Jordan? Why is amateur porn so much more lucrative than mainstream porn? What are the downsides of being in the industry? Does porn change family dynamics? DID YOUR DAD REALLY MARRY HIS STEPSISTER?

Dr. Laurie is a clinical psychologist that specializes in Sex Therapy. In addition to helping couples and singles with their sexual issues every day out of her Montreal office, she runs Pornhub’s Sexual Wellness Center, and hosts PASSION, her nightly syndicated radio show. She regularly appears on television as an official “sexpert,” and has even given a Ted Talk. I had so many questions for her – what’s the most common sexual issue people have? Is the Madonna-Whore complex real? How can a couple stay sexually attracted to each other long-term? Does porn cause erectile dysfunction? What are some tips to get/keep an erection? What’s “porn literacy,” and why is it crucial? What causes someone’s sexual tastes – is it inherent, or developed? How does one get into foot fetish, for example? Or scat fetish??? How can men last longer in bed? Why do I get depressed after I orgasm sometimes? HOW MUCH MASTURBATION IS TOO MUCH MASTURBATION?

Liz Goldwyn is a woman of many talents - aside from being Hollywood royalty (her grandfather is THE Samuel Goldwyn,) she is an author, filmmaker, artist, and creator of The Sex Ed - an educational site that explores sex, health and consciousness in the digital age. In a time where so many young people are looking to porn to educate themselves on sexuality, Liz’s platform is a really important one. She comes on to The Pornhub Podcast to discuss ways we can further sexual education and make it less shameful, and more accessible for everyone. Where does sex ed belong - school? Or the home? Does porn have a place in sexual education?  What is the best way for parents to teach their children about their bodies? About masturbation? At what age is it appropriate to begin that conversation? How can one maintain a vibrant sex life within a long term relationship? Why does the male orgasm have to determine the length of a sexual encounter? How can we manifest things through masturbation? Also, Liz teaches  how us to practice “orgasm breathing.” Also also, tons of Hollywood questions.

How do we deal with jealousy? When do penises stop growing? Is catching chlamydia better than catching a cold? Why do I love when Sean says horrible things to me during sex? AM I A CUCKOLD? Also, I get oddly sentimental.

He does SFW porn videos; for example, "A Pizza Delivery Boy Delivers The Pizza and Doesn't Stick his Weiner Inside of it." Obviously I needed to know everything about the man behind these non-pornos. What's he like IRL? Does he watch an incredible amount of porn? WHY IS HE DOING THIS? Plus, we talk weirdly a lot about No Face Girl. (He's met her in person.)

Today's guest is the curator of Pornhub-produced fine art exhibit "The Pleasure Principle" - the legendary Michele Maccarone of The Maccarone Gallery!
