#228 - Legendary: Talking Career, Retirement, and Moving Abroad with Tera Patrick

Folks, I am so stoked to bring on this week's guest onto the show! If you haven't heard of Alison Rey, she is a longstanding adult performer and producer in the industry who will be giving us an insight on the porn industry. Alison shares with us her story on how she got into porn, having the choice to say no to scenes you don't want to do, challenging certain storylines in porn and how she went from performing to producing...and back to performing. She lays it all down for us this week in debunking some myths about squirting and performers using enhancements and gets real vulnerable with us in struggling with imposter syndrome, questioning what "ethical porn" really is and acknowledges just how fun filming cheesy porn is. It's a packed episode that really gives us insight on how the industry work from someone who has been both in front and behind the camera.

***TRIGGER WARNING: Mention of human trafficking, sex trafficking*** It’s a heavier episode this week as I speak with Maya Romero, a fellow cam model, on her story on how she was sex trafficked. What started as a seemingly harmless encounter with her then-boyfriend, turned into a nightmare. “Have you ever heard of OnlyFans?”, said her abuser. Little did she know what she would encounter and ensue over the next six months would have a hold on her life. We speak about warning signs and red flags, grooming, manipulation, how she was able to escape and flee, and what she would tell other victims in similar situations. It’s a riveting and raw episode and it might be advisable to break this episode into chunks as it was quite triggering.

I have been patiently awaiting for this episode to be released! I am really excited to pair my nerdiness on artificial intelligence and sex work on this episode with fellow dominatrix, researcher and professor, Dr. Mistress Snow, onto the show this week! Dr. Snow is an adjunct professor and researcher at NYU at the AI Now Institute and the UCLA Center for Critical Intelligence and as a sex worker, she understands the many discriminatory practices through artificial intelligence that major platforms and companies adopt to prevent sex workers from doing our jobs. Dr. Snow opens up about her current research, shares her thoughts on the recent acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk and what that might mean for sex workers, and ways that artificial intelligence works in ways that do not allow us to thrive. It is a completely fascinating conversation (atleast for me!) that absolutely affects our livelihood and how we conduct business.

With so much emphasis on the trans community in recent times regarding gender affirming surgery and trans rights, I think it was time to have an overdue conversation with trans activist, Velvet Steele. Velvet is a longtime educator, advocate, SWer and icon in the queer community in Vancouver who I’ve been looking forward to having on the show. Velvet provides her crystal clear perspective on how language has shaped, impacted and harmed the community. Going from the past to present, we discuss problematic terms such as a sex reassignment surgery to outdated and offensive terms like “shemale” and how other buzzwords have discriminated and harmed the trans community. We speak about the importance in language and how its become more trans inclusive, shying away from terms we had once used in the past. Velvet took so much time to answer many fan questions and gives us a crash course on trans history – a fantastically educational episode that you don’t want to miss.

***TRIGGER WARNING: Binging, eating disorders.*** Really excited to finally release this episode with this week’s guest, BADKITTYYY. BADKITTYYY is an award-winning BBW, pornstar, and clip maker. Despite her many accolades, I get the opportunity to speak to BADKITTYYY about her more vulnerable side. She opens up about why she waited so long to get into sex work, body issues that she’s struggled with before, and her battle with binge eating. She brings up an important point that BBWs can also suffer from eating disorders too. It’s important to speak about this and I am so glad that we were able to touch on so many subjects that she had never spoken about before. Watch the video exclusive on Patreon!

***TRIGGER WARNING: Mentioning of bi erasure, invisibility and biphobia.*** Sorry for the delay on this episode, folks! Been an extremely busy time constantly trying to play catch up and starting to feel a bit of burnout which I need to address. BUT I do have this week’s episode and it’s our very first fan-requested episode! A fan really wanted me to try and get this week’s guest, Amber Stark, on the show and I reached out to her and her manager and voila, an episode was born! It was really great getting to know Amber during our conversation and we speak about her relatively new entry into porn and the pitfalls of entering the porn industry as a student. The main bulk of the episode centers around Amber’s sexuality. Amber identifies as bi, and we discuss her sexuality, what it was like coming out to her close peers and family, and the animosity that comes with her identifying as bi. We speak about all of the bi deniers out there, where it mainly comes from, the dichotomies that are ever-present when speaking about sexuality, and how she copes with it all.

Really stoked to bring on cam model, TikToker and YouTuber extraordinaire, Emily Jones, onto the show this week! Emily started off on Cam Soda as a cam model having zero clue on what it was. Soon after, she migrated over to Chaturbate and never looked back! This episode focuses on the virality and success she’s had on TikTok and how we, as SWers, can use that platform to our benefit. As with most mainstream platforms, there are Terms and Services that we must abide by to be allowed on these sites and Emily so graciously shares with us her tips and tricks on how she manages to stay relevant, how to get on the FYP feed, and how she navigates the platform without getting banned. Emily, a seasoned streamer, also is excitingly about to launch her new enterprise, The Streaming Site, which is like Amazon, but she’s done all the heavy lifting for us and has streamlined all the best products and equipment to make your stream a success. This is such an insightful episode for myself, a millennial who has no idea how to even use TikTok like a regular person, and for anyone else who is planning to jump on the bandwagon and use it to their benefit.
