#23: "The chemical-free libido booster" + founding an ethical and female focused porn company with Anna Richards
Description
How do you feel about porn? Is it something you enjoy, feel uncomfortable about, or have mixed feelings? I get it, because porn is a super activating topic, especially when we know the track record of the big porn companies and free tube sites aren't... brilliant. And yet, I'm always banging the drum that there is a whole world of alternative porn and erotica out there-- made by independent producers, with genuine care and concern for their performers, and catering to a different audience.
In this episode I'm so excited to chat with founder of female-focused, ethical porn company, FrolicMe, Anna Richards.
We cover:
- Why she got into founding FrolicMe
- Why FrolicMe is deliberately female-focused and focused on female pleasure
- Her thoughts on the free tube sites and when they become dehumanizing
- When shame is wrapped up in what you’re seeing
- What she would say to women who feel concerned about porn and young people
- The 50 Shades of Grey boom that got women talking about erotica
- Why porn is brilliant for low libido in women
- When couples get into porn together and how it can enhance their sex life
- When you don’t like porn and what makes ethical porn different
- Why not all women like the same thing
- When consent gets to be sexy
- Why not all women are into vanilla
- When women think they’re sexually broken
- Why most porn stars actually have normal lives
- Why we all want the same things for young people
- How to protect your kids so they aren't exposed to material before they are ready
- Her thoughts on the upcoming Online Safety Bill in the UK
- Infusing care, consent, and respect into porn, and into our intimate lives too
My favourite quote from her:
“Pornography is a chemical-free libido booster”
