Digging for that old VHS tape under the bed doesn’t hit quite the same as having 25 million porn sites in your pocket—it’s hard to compete with the accessibility and variety of porn on the internet. Dopamine reenters the chat as we discuss the instant digital gratification, quicksand and other niche corners of the porniverse ... and the value of bringing adult films back to the cinema.

Featured Guests & Links:

Shine Louise Houston, the founder of Pink & White Productions. Graduating from San Francisco Arts Institute with a Bachelors in Fine Art Film, her works have become the new gold standard of adult cinema. Shine is the creator of queer porn icon CrashPadSeries.com and – the 'Criterion Collection' of adult films – the streaming platform PinkLabel.TV, which also hosts the annual San Francisco Porn Film Festival.

Squirm is an educational platform that helps people have productive and compassionate conversations on difficult topics related to sex and relationships. We do this through approachable, inclusive offerings, including games, events, workshops, and audio originals. A lot of sex advice ends with “talk about it.” That’s where ours begins.
